This is a group where we will all get together and play board games. I have found there are several board game communities on here, but none involve our favorite social lubricant, alcohol! My hope is to get together and play silly games in a bar. I will bring a couple of games (feel free to bring your own) but this won't be real "gamer" territory. No D&D, etc. and we will figure out by vote one or two to play as a group. I find people make friends (or more) well when they are having a good …

Welcome to the NYC D&D Meetup Group! Dungeons and Dragons is the most popular tabletop role-playing game of all time. The game is played with about 6 players.

There are so few places where we as gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders can meet each other in person outside of bars.  We've found that it's much easier to meet friends and partners in an environment that is fun doing an activity that isn't focused on meeting new people.  You can just sit down with us and play an old favorite game or learn a new one.  We tend toward strategy games, but word games and party games are welcome.

This group meets in Manhattan on weekends to play board games and card games. The emphasis is on party games more than Eurogames and we are happy to teach games to newcomers. Games played include Apples to Apples, Scattergories, Uno, and many others.

Meetups are free and we often meet in pubs and restaurants.

A community for educators who want to engage their students, who use games in the class, or who want to start; a place for game designers and developers to meet and learn from one another tips and strategies for making games that effectively teach; a place where "serious games," "alternate reality games," and "gamification" might fit in the same sentence with "edtech," "curriculum" or "Common Core Standards."
