I am a member of a bunch of fun MeetUp groups, but many are far away.  This one is to try and round up more local people for my favorite interests. This group is for all of us who live in Concord and beyond and still want to have fun but with a little less driving. The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area.  We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

My wife and I just moved from the North Bay where I had a weekly D&D group to the East Bay (Concord) where we don't know anyone. I'm not interested in starting another D&D/RPG group, as it just eats up too much of my time/energy and my work schedule has become too unpredictable to allow me to play steady at a D&D table right now. I work at a Hotel and work some weird hours (swings and graveyards) and my days off can shift around. That's why I'm looking to start a more casual gaming group. This w …

Backgammon Club in Antioch, CA. Want to learn a fascinating game or re-create an old one?  The game of backgammon is one of the oldest two-person board games in history.  It was very big in the 70's and early 80's but slowly declined as poker grew. Now it's time to bring the game back! We will play two matches every Tuesday night and the player with the most wins at the end of each month will get a free personal pizza, donated by Mountain Mike's Pizza. Come get your game on and meet new people e …

The owner is willing to give gift cards to member champions!

Making female friends on the other hand requires you to put in a little more effort – but it is a relationship that can last. We will aim to have a wide variety of events which will …

Hello there, "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" welcome you to our amazing group. Founded by Dorian and Nick, two close friends of over ten years, this group is all about having fun and meeting new folks.

My friend and I are getting back into Magic: The Gathering and we thought it would be a good idea to start a group for monthly casual drafting. So each month we would host a casual draft at my house in which the entry is 3 boosters. Optimally there would be enough people to warrant ordering a booster box online. Additionally we would also like to have regular Magic nights.
