Sat. Board Games & Pizza on Oct 24th ALL DAY!

We will be mixing up our location this time just for some variety! This time, our host is Orig Ray’s Pizza on Columbus & 82nd! They have offered their large event area in the back of the restaurant to us (again, please do order a slice, some cheese sticks, a drink, something to make sure we support our hosts since they aren’t charging us for the space, we need to be sure they do well! (I also like to offer a small pitch option for people. Then we can combine it all to get the whole group something such as a full pizza or some appetizers etc) I have our end time at 7:30 but in all honesty, they are open till 2am, so for those night owl gamers, please enjoy & stay longer! I’ll have a wide selection of games as always & please don’t hesitate to send in some requests of games to make sure to include as options. We play a large variety of games, usually starting off with something lighter & then breaking up into smaller groups picking games to play from there. We play everything from lighter social games to heavy brain burner euros. (I’m a huge euro game fan) All are welcome and no need to know how to play any of the games, we are always happy to teach as there are usually several who are new to a game at any given time. If you would like to support the group’s game library & meetup fees, please note “meetup” in your donation via Venmo : @BarrRec (& thank you so very much! It is beyond appreciated!!

Tabletop Game Night

Every Saturday night we run Games With Strangers. Grab a drink or dinner, meet some new people, and learn a new game. Our game expert will teach you our featured games for the night and introduce you to your fellow players. We run games of all levels, from the lightest of the light to the ones that need four hours and a book. Each week we feature two games. Run a kingdom, build a farm, assemble your heroes, or craft the best story, but, whatever you do, come do it with us.

Sunday Night Gaming at Hex & Co. West

**THE SIMPLE STUFF** * **Be kind.** * **Most games are planned in advance on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/rYNfkpdJNE).** * **Be on time.** People cluster up pretty quickly and you can be without a gaming partner. * **Cancel if you're not coming by 2PM that day.** We have limited seats. * **Cost is $10 at the door.** This is a special Meetup rate. * **FIRST TIMERS** **may be removed from the event** if they fail to respond to a request to confirm attendance. **THE DETAILS** Join us for a weekly Sunday night board game night at [Hex & Co](http://hexnyc.com/) in Morningside Heights. Tell the cashier that you're with “the Meetup” and they'll direct you to our tables in the back. Food and drink are available, and Hex has a large lending library you can choose from. Most games are planned in advance on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/rYNfkpdJNE). Pickup games happen all the time, but are less complex than our standard fare. All levels of game complexity are welcome, but we lean toward middle-to-heavy euros. Don't worry, teaching is a big part of our culture. **NEW TO THE MEETUP?** Thanks for coming! We hope you enjoy yourself. We are a social, friendly group that meets to play games. Language and behavior that is racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, and so on, is not tolerated. Bullying and bad-mouthing the other guests are also not tolerated. We're not here to debate politics, and we are not a dating service. Obviously gaming can sometimes include trash talking. Just … know if your opponents are up for that! And look, we all make mistakes -- if you’ve offended someone, an apology can go a long way. **QUESTIONS** **I’m relatively new to board gaming! Is this group for me?** Hi! Welcome to board gaming! Yes, it is. To make sure you have a great experience, please show up on time, before games get decided, and introduce yourself, telling people you’re new to gaming and what games you know and like. We were all new to gaming once, too. While most games we play are medium-to-heavy weight games, light games appear every week, so there's probably something for you. If you’re willing to stretch a bit and learn a more complex game, that’s great, as someone will almost always know how to teach it. To find out if players are willing to teach a game they’re about to start, just ask. Some experience with games like Azul, Catan, Splendor, Century Spice Road, 7 Wonders, Sagrada, etc., is helpful, but not essential. **What if I am on the waiting list?** It is rare that people on the waiting don't get seats, but it can happen. So you could just take a chance and show up. If you do show up, 1) ask employees up front if you can wait to pay (they're typically cool about that, but no promises here /shrug) and 2) come check in with us in the back. Seats for confirmed guests are held until 5:15, after which they're considered a no-show. (Unless they contact us first, or had something like an awful train ride.) Then seats are first-come first served. **Will someone teach me games if I don’t know them?** Often, yes - you just have to ask. But planning ahead can be helpful too, because that’ll give you a chance to read the rules before you come. **What do you mean by mid- and heavy-weight board games?** Some examples: Hansa Teutonica, Concordia, Keyflower, Great Western Trail, Clank!, Root, Small World, Scythe, Dinosaur Island, Terraforming Mars, Trickerion: Legends of Illusion, Kemet, Arcs, Underwater Cities, Food Chain Magnate, Indonesia, A Feast for Odin, Archipelago, Detective: City of Angels, and Tzolk'in. **Can we play *X*?** Sure! Suggest it. Make sure someone has a playable copy (you or the store), either you or someone else knows and can teach the game, and others agree to play. Games that take an exceedingly long time (4+ hours) probably won’t get picked up.

Casual Magic - Free For All

Whenever you're a seasoned pro or you've never played before, you are welcome to join us for this event. If you're new to the game, let us know. We will have extra decks but not so many of them, so we'd like to be able to plan ahead. **The Format** We have two formats. **Regular 60** or **Commander**! In our **60 cards deck**, we don't follow the **standard** rules (doesn't matter how old your cards are). We play **friendly** magic!!! Second format is that can be playing Free For All multiplayer. Everyone sits in a circle and you can attack whoever, cast spells wherever. **\*\*Deck Rules \*\*** Decks are meant to be casual. Bring things that **are fun**. There's no ban or restricted list this time but try to avoid decks that **win on turn three**. Bring a **power level** that will be fun for everyone. Decks are **60 cards** and can have up to **4 cards of each kind** unless the card rules state otherwise. We follow traditional Commander Rules!
