Many of our events are geared toward specific types of games, and our event postings will detail what you can expect at an event.  For all events, we do ask that you ad …

This is a group for people to experience board games like they've never seen before. Not like Monopoly or those other games you played as a kid. I'm talking real board games, from competitive play, to co-operative play. From games like Ghost Stories, Arkham Horror, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Carcassonne, Catan and a variety of other games, owned either by the host or the guests. This group does not have a meet-up location, and is created to for two purposes; (1) the potential to create a grou …

UPDATE as of August of 2012:  We're currently in the process of trying to find a public place where we can meet and play games at least twice a month.  If you have suggestions on a good place to do that please contact me, Patrick - the group owner, and let me know.  Hopefully we can get this resolved soon.  One business so far turned us down due to "liability concerns."  Thanks.  -Patrick -------------------- This group is for new to middle level players of card and Euro-games who are also int …

Check out my home game! www.BostonHomeGame.com This used to be the BPC. If you knew it, or knew of it. Then you know it was AWESOME late night poker all the time. We were serious about our poker, even if it wasn't always serious poker. It's against the law to run a poker house, so this is my super-pumped-up home poker game. Most of the tournaments are between $30-$100. There are 3-4 games each week, and they'll be posted on the calender. There's always a cash game after the tourname …

Do you remember the 'good ol' days' when you sat at home playing Dungeons and Dragons on a Saturday night, because you wanted to? Would you like to swing that trusty (and imaginary!) battle axe again, lopping off a few skeleton heads in the process? Would you proudly embrace being a "dice tosser?!"

Chess is an incredible game...but with all the smartphones, Xboxes, iPads, and iPods out there, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. In fact, games don't have to be played in high def or with high-tech controllers to be fully engaging. Chess is one of those games. With a simple board and 32 pieces, chess continues to captivate amateurs and grandmasters alike. All you need is a basic knowledge of how the pieces move, a fair amount of concentration and insight and you have become a viable chess …

People chat over the games and occasionally play open with a dictionary. Most games are two player, but you might find a three or four player game. Finally, we often h …
