What we’re about
Meeting new people and making new friends as an adult is so damn hard. This group aims to make that whole mess a little bit easier. Specifically, this group endeavors to create a welcoming and inclusive space that connects older adults looking to meet, game and otherwise hang out with like-minded nerds in small, in-person (and possibly online) groups around the Arlington, Belmont, Lexington, Malden, Medford, North Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, Winchester and Woburn areas.
Specifically, games in this case are all of the tabletop variety, including:
- role-playing games
- euro-style strategy board & card games
- theme-rich immersive co-op games
So, think more Carcassonne, Betrayal at House on The Hill, Settlers of Catan, and Mansions of Madness and less Monopoly, Scrabble, Poker and Chess.
While this Meetup Group may specifically host small events, itself, the Group's purpose, really, is to provide a forum for its members to publicize their own events, form their own local gaming groups and/or to better facilitate for Group members the finding of either.
POSSIBLE EVENTS
- Regular in-person game nights (monthly, weekly, whatever)
- Virtual game nights via Board Game Arena, Google Meet, Discord, or whatever service
- Virtual/in-person tabletop RPG gaming
- Party game nights (Jackbox, Cards Against Humanity, Joking Hazard, etc.)
- Game library swaps/loans
- Group attendance at large events (PAX East, Gen Con, Unity Games, comic cons, etc.)
- Game prototype playtesting sessions
- Unofficial game tournaments
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting into tabletop gaming, everyone is welcome to join us for game nights, discussions, and other such game events as we make ourselves some new but ever so nerdy friends.
Let's go!
