Game Night (Fordham)
Thu, Sep 17, 10:00 PMlet's meet up at Clinton hall and play some games together!
Sunday Night Gaming at Hex & Co. West
Sun, Sep 13, 9:00 PM**THE SIMPLE STUFF** * **Be kind.** * **Most games are planned in advance on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/rYNfkpdJNE).** * **Be on time.** People cluster up pretty quickly and you can be without a gaming partner. * **Cancel if you're not coming by 2PM that day.** We have limited seats. * **Cost is $10 at the door.** This is a special Meetup rate. * **FIRST TIMERS** **may be removed from the event** if they fail to respond to a request to confirm attendance. **THE DETAILS** Join us for a weekly Sunday night board game night at [Hex & Co](http://hexnyc.com/) in Morningside Heights. Tell the cashier that you're with “the Meetup” and they'll direct you to our tables in the back. Food and drink are available, and Hex has a large lending library you can choose from. Most games are planned in advance on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/rYNfkpdJNE). Pickup games happen all the time, but are less complex than our standard fare. All levels of game complexity are welcome, but we lean toward middle-to-heavy euros. Don't worry, teaching is a big part of our culture. **NEW TO THE MEETUP?** Thanks for coming! We hope you enjoy yourself. We are a social, friendly group that meets to play games. Language and behavior that is racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, and so on, is not tolerated. Bullying and bad-mouthing the other guests are also not tolerated. We're not here to debate politics, and we are not a dating service. Obviously gaming can sometimes include trash talking. Just … know if your opponents are up for that! And look, we all make mistakes -- if you’ve offended someone, an apology can go a long way. **QUESTIONS** **I’m relatively new to board gaming! Is this group for me?** Hi! Welcome to board gaming! Yes, it is. To make sure you have a great experience, please show up on time, before games get decided, and introduce yourself, telling people you’re new to gaming and what games you know and like. We were all new to gaming once, too. While most games we play are medium-to-heavy weight games, light games appear every week, so there's probably something for you. If you’re willing to stretch a bit and learn a more complex game, that’s great, as someone will almost always know how to teach it. To find out if players are willing to teach a game they’re about to start, just ask. Some experience with games like Azul, Catan, Splendor, Century Spice Road, 7 Wonders, Sagrada, etc., is helpful, but not essential. **What if I am on the waiting list?** It is rare that people on the waiting don't get seats, but it can happen. So you could just take a chance and show up. If you do show up, 1) ask employees up front if you can wait to pay (they're typically cool about that, but no promises here /shrug) and 2) come check in with us in the back. Seats for confirmed guests are held until 5:15, after which they're considered a no-show. (Unless they contact us first, or had something like an awful train ride.) Then seats are first-come first served. **Will someone teach me games if I don’t know them?** Often, yes - you just have to ask. But planning ahead can be helpful too, because that’ll give you a chance to read the rules before you come. **What do you mean by mid- and heavy-weight board games?** Some examples: Hansa Teutonica, Concordia, Keyflower, Great Western Trail, Clank!, Root, Small World, Scythe, Dinosaur Island, Terraforming Mars, Trickerion: Legends of Illusion, Kemet, Arcs, Underwater Cities, Food Chain Magnate, Indonesia, A Feast for Odin, Archipelago, Detective: City of Angels, and Tzolk'in. **Can we play *X*?** Sure! Suggest it. Make sure someone has a playable copy (you or the store), either you or someone else knows and can teach the game, and others agree to play. Games that take an exceedingly long time (4+ hours) probably won’t get picked up.
