Monthly Weekend Afternoon Boardgaming at Cobblestones (July 2026)

Monthly Weekend Afternoon Boardgaming at Cobblestones (July 2026)

Sat, Jul 25, 4:00 PM
From Forest Hills Board Gamers
4.9

\*\* In order to support Cobblestones for letting us use their space, there is a $15 minimum food/drink order per person.\*\* The monthly weekend meetup at Cobblestones is back! This is where we tend to stay longer & play more games than our weekly get-together. The next one will be on Saturday July 25, 2026. Join us for our awesome Weekend Boardgaming Meetup at Cobblestone's pub! We start around noon & usually stay until the early evening. We're a friendly group of gamers that play everything from Codenames & Ticket to Ride to Blood Rage & Agricola! Everyone is welcome - all ages (must be over 21) but must be young at heart! If you don't recognize the games, don't worry, everyone is happy to teach new players the rules. And feel free to bring your own board games if you wish. Between all of us, there's usually a large selection of games to choose from. If you're looking for a chill, fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon - come join us! In order to support our awesome, not-too-loud venue, each person must purchase something to eat or a few drinks. **Again, there is a $15 minimum per person.** *** We always welcome new people & we're all here to have fun, but we do have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to be aware of: * Treat everyone in the group with respect & do not discriminate. Some of us "trash talk" when we play, but it's all in good fun & in the spirit of gaming. * This is a restaurant/bar so accidents are bound to happen. However, if you're responsible for ruining someone else's game by spilling a beverage or food on it, the right thing to do is to offer to purchase a new copy for them. Some of the games we bring are out of print so please treat every board game with respect. * If a game is accidentally ruined by a staff member, everyone at the table should pitch in to buy a new one for the owner. More often than not, this comes to about $10/person or less, so in our opinion it isn't too much to ask for. We look forward to seeing you there!

Back by popular demand! This is not your mama's board game night. If you're thinking Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan you're on the right track. But we have so much more than that. With an impressive library of over 100 games I'm sure we can find something for everyone. We have puzzles, party games, deck builders, competitive, cooperative and more! You can bring your own games too! This will be a pot luck event. I will have a case of water and cookies but please bring something to share. Please use your cooking skills if you have them and if not please think outside the box so we don't end up with 20 bags of chips. Please let me know what you are bringing. No alcohol please. Free street parking just pay attention to the signs. Yes we have Cards Against Humanity and all the expansions. Bring your A-game and your conversation starters. Its going to be a fun night!
