What we’re about
The Queen City Game Club is proud to once again participate in Extra Life! Extra Life is a way for people who love games to give back to their community - in this case, to raise money for Levine Children's Hospital here in Charlotte. Every year, gamers of all types come together to raise money through Extra Life to support their local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, which treat thousands of children each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. Every dollar raised goes directly to our chosen hospital. Since 2008, Extra Life has raised more than $100 million to help children's hospitals take care of sick and inured kids, across America and around the world.
You can find our Extra Life Team, Charlotte Gamers United, here.
The Queen City Game Club is a 21+ meetup for gamers interested in more complex or strategy driven board games. Traditional strategy games, abstract games, euro games and war games of all kind are welcome. This group will also be a community for local board game designers that are interested in obtaining feedback and looking for playtesting groups.
Our meetup schedule, includes several monthly meetup events, including our popular Beers and Board Games event at the Waldhorn.
Finally, we also look to match up gamers for various ad hoc meetup events. If you are interested in playing a particular game and are just looking for a few other players, you can setup a new meetup indicating the venue and the max number of participants for your game session. We request that you attend at least one public meetup before making a request to host an event at a private residence. Our message boards are also available for making request when looking for members to join in a specific game session.
