Do you like playing boardgames and/or friendly card games, but had difficulty finding like minded friends? I did too! So I traveled to NJ and I traveled to Manhattan and Brooklyn, met lots of great people, but longed for something with a bit less travel time. Something local. And I thought.... If you build it.... they will come! And, YAY! Here you are! This group is for seasoned boardgamers/cardgamers as well as for novices. Bring a game that you enjoy playing (bring two!) or learn a new game fr …

This group is for people who want to learn, improve their game or show what they got!

Palladium Games systems is responsible for The Heroes Unlimited and Rifts Megaverse games, Primary focus of the primary GM will be pre-RIFTS games such as Heroes Unlimited, Beyond The Supernatural, Ninjas & Superspies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness, and other off-shoot games (Nightspawn/Nightbane, System Failure, After The Bomb,  et cetera). The gaming style is gritty and realistic, where moral lines and ethics are sometimes unclear and anything can happ …

Welcome to the NY Mostly Go Club! The "Mostly" is there since it's fun to do other things besides Go once in a while. For example, dinner or drinks after a tough tournament, a picnic with Go boards under blooming cherry trees in spring, whatever fun things we can think of. We'd love to meet other people who are interested in the game of igo/weiqi/baduk in the NYC area. Don't know how to play but saw it on some TV show or something and want to see what the game is about? We also host NYAMIGO Beg …

We’re a group of friendly, open-minded, mostly 20- and 30-somethings. Our members' interests run the gamut from Buffy to Doctor Who, comic books to Lord of the Rings, Cranium to Dungeons and Dragons, and far more - if you have a geeky interest, one of us probably shares it! Even if you have a non-geeky interest, we probably have someone interested! Our goal is to simply get together with similar-minded folks to just have a good time, whether that includes board games, video games, movies, talki …

This is a group for fans of the word game Boggle. We play Big Boggle with the 5 X 5 grid and the new SUPER BIG BOGGLE with a 6 X 6 grid and a four minute timer. We are NOT endorsed or sponsored by Hasbro, Parker Brothers or any other game company. Meetups will take place in Manhattan, afternoons on weekends, evenings on weekdays.

Do you love Taboo? Do you get "a little too into it" according to your friends? Are you the one gathering everyone around at parties to explain the rules before Taboo games start? (and have people mock you for going through the rules, only to have these same people break the rules then act incredulous when they get buzzed?) Taboo lovers, you know who you are. Now you're safe! At last you can enjoy Taboo with other people who enjoy the game, know when to bust into song, and don't get it confused …

The main goal of this group will be to create a cohesive environment where everyone feels welcome and can create a great network of …

I am taking over this meetup since the former organizer is not doing it any more. I am definitely open to adding co-organizers, so please let me know if you want to do that. And/or if you can host an event at your place or a venue that you know and like. I am asking for $1 from everyone when they come to a meetup event to help with the cost of having this meetup site - it's $12/month so 2 meetups per month with 6 people at each should do it. I am not trying to make $ but don't really want to cov …

The group is for any and all people who enjoy getting together with others and playing games such as Cranium, Taboo, Wits & Wagers, 25 Words or Less, Dominoes, and Slide 5, among many others.

After learning the game and playing at the UFT for three years my friend and i decided it was time to make the game more comfortable and personal! Let's play a game or two and discuss all the new and exciting things we are doing or learn some new places to go, people to see!!

Nyeek is a social get together for board game enthusiasts in the New York City area. If that sounds kind of geeky let me assure you that it absolutely is. We play all types of board games (abstract, party, thematic), but we tend to lean towards Euro Games. Games that usually have simple rules, relatively short playing times, and no player elimination, so they’re pretty accessible to newcomers. If you want to know more feel free to check out the (still being written) FAQ, but in a nutshell we're …

Looking for people to play a friendly game of Spades once a month. Will limit it to 12 people and hope to have 3 games going at once. It will be at my place (where I already have a very successful game night meetup) so people can bring some snacks and drinks and we'll just hang out, have some food and play some spades!

Three of my favorite things to do are: figure drawing, making music, and playing games--all while sipping wine and and eating fancy cheeses with like-minded creative and fun people. To that end I am opening my house in Windsor Terrace Brooklyn for a once-or-twice-a-month get-together to anyone who would like to share in these activities. Whether you are an accomplished gamer, artist, and musician, or a novice that can barely play an instrument or draw, and never played Scrabble or Boggle in your …

I host poker games at my studio a few times a week, we play from around 8pm until we get tired, often very late. Right now we play $1-2 No Limit Holdem and Im starting a $2-5 and an Omaha night soon, and a weekly Sunday $110 NL Holdem multi-table tournament. The game is in a great area in prime Williamsburg, and I have a nice full sized 10 handed poker table with comfy chairs, custom ceramic chips and KEM cards, drinks and snacks. Sometimes one of the players brings some Whiskey to sip on. Its a …

This is a group for anyone interested in making new friends, finding a date, swapping biz cards...whatever. This group unofficially started a few months ago and it's taking off and time to put it on here. We usually meet at the same place, Station Bar & Grill on Tuesday nights. Sometimes we have door prizes and we always play some sort of game like Giant Jenga or Xbox. It's just a night to make new friends and play some games. Join us on any Tuesday. Games, drinks, snacks, and group fun starts a …

I am of the opinion that meetup groups are a little too specific ... I'd like to be in one group that does a variety of things with the intention of meeting new people and having fun once in a while.  Okay, so I have seen a few other groups like this, but they only like to meet during the week, are only scheduling meetups for happy hours, or their last actual meetup was 6-12 months ago!  I've offered to organize events for them, but they weren't interested ... So now I'm starting my own group! L …

After approval each member will be asked to create their own original 007 inspired character (e.g. MI6 agent, double spy, villain, rich financier etc.) and all members will remain in character during the gaming. The games will be held in unique locations throughout …

We are throwing our first gaming night event. On April 19 come by and bring any friends you want. We are going to have different board and group games, liquor and food. There is a $5 door fee but if you bring a friend they will get in for free. It's something different than the club and bar where you can drink and meet people. The environment will be high energy but it will be easy to meet a new friend by sitting down and playing your favorite games. We will have group games and individual games …

Maybe you haven't played in years or perhaps you've never played, but the challenge of the game calls you.
