About us
Welcome to Desert Valley Meeples! 🌵🎲
Whether you're a seasoned strategist, a casual player, or just looking to make new friends over some cardboard, you've found the right table! We are a welcoming community of tabletop enthusiasts gathering twice a week to share our love for board games right here in the East Valley.
🎲 What We Play:
We play a little bit of everything! You can expect to see a wide variety of mechanics hit the table, including worker placement, engine builders, tile-laying, cooperative games, and light party games. Whether we are managing resources in a fantasy realm, building the perfect economic engine, or pushing our luck for a high score, there is always something fun to play.
👥 Who Should Join:
Everyone! No prior board game experience is required. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive group that loves introducing new players to the hobby just as much as we love diving deep into complex, brain-burning strategy games.
Bring your own favorites from your collection, or just bring yourself—we always have plenty of games to share and are always happy to teach!
Pull up a chair, choose your player color, and let's get gaming!
