This meetup has been going on since about November 2011, as a place to organize weekly game nights.  We play mostly Euro-style strategy games, such as those found on boardgamegeek.com.  So, experienced strategy gamers are preferred but if you don't mind learning some relatively complicated rules, we are happy to teach.  We are always looking to recruit others to the die-hard boardgamer cult.  Welcome!

I am running a Dark Ages Modern Nights Larp game. It has a strong political structure thanks to the work my co-st, my self, and the players have done to make it so. There are slight changes in the game from what the book says happend, like for instance, Tremere are still a bloodline failing to eaten salout, the Giovanni have also failed in their attempts to dominate the cappadotions. most Dark Ages clans are allowed, but need to be discussed, and others need a background.

We play all kinds of games-German strategy games, tradeable cardgames, "party games" such as Clue, Scrabble, Backgammon, miniature battles, pretty much anything. Bring any game you want, and more than likely somebody will be interested in playing it!
