This meetup exists to facilitate tabletop board and role-playing games in the East Bay. We meet semi-regularly in the El Sobrante area (near Pinole and San Pablo), in the back of the El Sobrante public library (atop the site of an old Huichin village and burial ground). We are generally not hardcore gamers and hope to share a large spectrum of game play. We have played such games as Arkham Horror, Descent, Munchkin, Resistance, and Monopoly. Currently we are meeting semi-regularly (c.f. El Sobra …

This group is for guys who are either new in town or just want to meet some cool people. I just moved to the Bay Area and am looking to meet some other guys to do some of the things I enjoy, such as drinking wine, talking about life, playing poker, hiking and playing sports. I've got a great girlfriend so I'm not as interested in going out to bars and scamming on hotties (but we can reminisce about that one time...). If you enjoy conversation and meeting new people, let's all grab a beer or a gl …

This group is for fellow fans who'd like a regular chance to play the game, build skills, etc. Newbies are welcome...we'll teach the game to you. People who own the game (and all the expansion cards) are *particularly* welcome.

Great group for adults who enjoy ALL types of board and card games. I'm hoping we'll be able to have individual "Host" houses for small group get togethers. I'll encourage multiple meetups on the same day or weekend with alot of different games, giving members a choice on what they'll want to play. I personally prefer the fantasy, horror and science fictions games, so I'll be hosting these types of games at my house, with an occasional "traditional" game thrown in, for example, Risk, Chess and t …

Let's get together to play the Fantasy Strike customizable card game. If you're new, that's no problem. If you've already played at past events, that's fine too. This group is for anyone interested in trying out new card game ideas, as this game has some unusual mechanics. It's also a chance to get involved and help out with game balance, so both players and designers are welcome. Note: The point of this group is to meet in-person and play. This game is not a commercial product, it's not for sal …

I wanted to form a group of 30’s to 40’s something, fun and energy filled people (singles or couples) who are looking to meet some new friends. Maybe you've drifted from the social scene a little bit last year for any number of reasons - you are new to the area, got consumed with work or family, a love interest didn’t work out, whatever. If you simply want to get back in the groove and restore that bounce in your life while exploring Marin County and SanFrancisco with a new circle of friends, th …

Come learn more about this game that originated in China about a century ago. Played with tiles rather than cards it has similarities to rummy. There are variations to the game so we can determine which way we want to play by those interested enough to sign up.
