Plus, we want people to bring games we haven't played! You might not know how to play any o …

Our attendees are comprised mostly of comic illustrators, with the occasional writer and game developer. We have had a few seasoned professionals at our table, but the vast majority of us do th …

We get together to play a variety of board & card games. Third Place Commons is our community center. Members bring games they like to play or a new one they want to try out.

For a complete list of the games we've been playing, go to "Pages".

We are a group of avid gamers from the Eastside of Lake Washington (Bothell, Kirkland, Kenmore, Redmond, Woodinville etc.) who love games and enjoy getting together to play once a month or so.
