Hey everyone. Not finding what I'm looking for in other groups, I decided to make this one. As the title says, this group is about Anime, video games or games in general (i.e. board, sports, etc.), and enjoying life. I am a huge lover of all of those and I know there others out there who feel the same. Everyone should be open to all ideas fellow Nakama may have and can share on here but I hope to get some meet ups going once, maybe twice, a week to watch some great Animes, play some games and ha …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …

I'm attempting to organize a small enclave of friendly gamers to play boardgames like Avalon Hill's Squad leader, Third Reich, KingMaker - or any other 'serious' military/historical game. The goal is to create a group of 5-12 people that enjoy gaming and military history who miss the camaraderie of getting together on a Saturday or Sunday to 'conqueror the world' - or at least a parcel of it!

When I was growing up, my parents would play Pinochle with my Grandparents. When one would have to get up, they forced me to sit in and I HATED it. Now, I'm an addict. I play online (Double deck on Yahoo) But I miss the feel of the cards, casual conversation, and oh, gloating a bit :) So I'm starting this group to see if there are any others out there. Bring your best game :)
