What we’re about
🎲 WELCOME TO ONE OF TAMPA’S NICEST & FRIENDLIEST GAME GROUPS! 😊
Looking for a fun, relaxed group of adults who enjoy playing games, sharing laughs, and meeting new people? You’re in the right place!
We’re not a D&D or hardcore strategy group. Instead, we play a wide variety of fun, casual card and board games like:
- Uno, Yahtzee, 3Up/3Down, Rummikub, Ticket to Ride, Sequence, Trivia games, Sorry, Deer in the Headlights, Apples to Apples, Exploding Kittens, and more!
Our group is open to all adults — married, single, younger, older — anyone looking to unwind and have a good time. We’re friendly, lightly competitive (in a fun way), and always happy to welcome new faces. Whether you’re brand new or haven’t played in years, you’re welcome here!
📍 OUR MAIN LOCATION
Winners Sports Grill – 5229 Ehrlich Rd, Tampa, FL 33624
Located at the corner of Hutchison Rd & Ehrlich Rd, next to the dry cleaners.
🚫 NOTE: Please don’t use the outdated Meet-Up map link that shows Winners Grill on Gunn Hwy — they moved years ago! We’ve requested Meet-Up to fix it, but it hasn’t updated yet.
📍 OUR SECONDARY LOCATION
Glory Days Grill – 14457 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618
Located on the northbound side of Dale Mabry, just south of where Ehrlich and Bearss intersect. This location is used occasionally as an alternate site for Game Night — keep an eye on event listings for specific dates!
📅 OUR SCHEDULE
We typically host Game Night every other week, though sometimes we’ll meet on back-to-back weeks — especially around holidays or depending on our personal schedules.
🕹️ COMING SOON & THE PAST
In April, we launched our second location at Glory Days Grill.
While a planned third location for May didn’t pan out, we’re still exploring options going forward.
👉 Have an idea for a potential third location? Let us know! We’d love your suggestions.
🍽️ DINNER & GAMES
Game Nights usually begin with dinner around 4:45 PM. Games follow dinner and typically run until about 9:30 or so. You're welcome to arrive late or leave early — we’ll always help you find a table and get involved.
🙌 COURTESY & RSVP DETAILS
The restaurant generously lets us use their event room at no charge, so please consider ordering food or drinks and tipping your server(s). The staff is still getting used to our group, so let’s be patient with service if needed — and work out any hiccups together.
RSVP is important for two reasons:
- It helps us give the restaurant an accurate headcount for staffing.
- The room has a seating limit (around 30 people).
Please RSVP through Meet-Up. If your plans change, update your RSVP or leave a message at 833-548-9998 (note: not an 813 number) so we can adjust the count.
🧊 TIP: If you tend to get chilly indoors, consider bringing a light sweater. We also bring a small fan in case the room warms up.
🗣️ ONE SMALL RULE: NO POLITICS, PLEASE
To keep the vibe relaxed and welcoming to all, we ask that political discussions be left outside. We have a great variety of personalities, and everyone should feel comfortable and included.
💵 MEMBERSHIP COST-SHARING (COMING SOON)
To help cover the cost of running this group, we’ll soon begin asking all ongoing attendees to contribute a small fee — starting after your first two free visits.
This fee will be required, but you can choose from the following affordable options:
- $1 per person per Game Night
- OR $5 for a 5-month pass (we will schedule 10+ Game Nights)
- OR $10 for a 12-month pass (we will schedule 24+ Game Nights)
This helps us recover the cost of maintaining the Meet-Up platform (which was $200 this year and will rise to $300 next year), while keeping things affordable for everyone.
No fees will be collected just yet — we’ll announce the official start date soon.
We truly look forward to meeting you and building a great group together — come join the fun!
– Ron & Deb
