Our events include in-person dinners, brunches, happy hours, and more at some of the best spots around the Bay Area. We also host online gaming sessions and a monthly meet and greet.

- [Online] Classic Board Game Night - Ticket to RideLink visible for attendees
There's so many new and unique board games out there, but sometimes you want to learn or replay the classics. Let's dive into one of the classics, Ticket to Ride! Build your railroad empire in the USA in this board game format, with expansion packs allowing you to build in Switzerland. The game supports up to 5 players.
We'll be playing online on Board Game Arena (https://boardgamearena.com/) while using our Girls Who Game Discord for voice chat. You will need to make an account on Board Game Arena (free to make!). If you do not have access to our Discord server, please reach out for an invite link!
Free to play online! You do not need to pay for a premium membership to play! Only one person needs to have premium membership (aka me), and I can invite others to play for free.
First time player? Go through the tutorial on Board Game Arena! You can find the tutorial walkthrough here: Ticket to Ride Tutorial.

There is a max of 6 spots per time slot. I can’t guarantee that no one from outside the group will book this time, so please RSVP and secure your booking as soon as possible if you'd like to join. The sooner we book, the more likely we’ll have the space to ourselves!🧦 Important reminders:
