What we’re about
We are a group who gathers in-person and online to play tabletop board games that we love or want to learn! These games are more complex than traditional family games like Monopoly or Clue - think Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Sagrada, 7 Wonders, Wingspan and Grand Austria Hotel.
We are based in Stamford, but you can be from anywhere to play online with us! When we meet in person, anyone willing to come meet in Stamford, CT is welcome.
