Welcome to Bay Area Girls Who Game! Whether you’re into video games, board games, or both, you’ve found your community. We’re all about creating a warm, welcoming space for women across the San Francisco Bay Area to connect, share their love for gaming, and build lasting friendships. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just starting out, there’s a place for you here.
Our events include in-person dinners, brunches, happy hours, and more at some of the best spots around the Bay Area. We also host online gaming sessions and a monthly meet and greet.

We Host Mixer Events!
While our group is for the ladies, we also enjoy sharing good times with loved ones! Events marked as “coed" are open to your favorite guest—whether it’s your husband, boyfriend, or best guy friend. Just be sure to add them as a +1 when you RSVP.

See all- 🐈🐾 Purrfect Morning at Nabi Cat Café - Santa Clara ☕️ - 🌟Full🌟Nabi Cat Cafe, Santa Clara, CA
Let’s kick off the weekend with caffeine, cats, and cozy vibes! Nabi Cat Café is a new, Korean-inspired cat café near Santa Clara University featuring adoptable cats, delicious drinks, and a calming atmosphere. We’ll spend an hour hanging out with the cats and sipping drinks with friends.
🐈 To attend:
You must reserve your spot directly through Nabi’s booking page:
➡️ Nabi Cat Café Reservations
Make sure to book Saturday, July 26 at 10:00 AM. The $28 fee includes one drink (menu here) and a one-hour visit with the cats. Additional drinks and snacks will be available to purchase on-site. After booking, please RSVP here on Meetup so we can keep a headcount! 😊⚠️ Note:
There is a max of 6 spots per time slot. I can’t guarantee that no one from outside the group will book this time, so please RSVP and secure your booking as soon as possible if you'd like to join. The sooner we book, the more likely we’ll have the space to ourselves!🧦 Important reminders:
- Socks are required — no shoes allowed in the cat area.
- Arrive early for parking — street parking near Santa Clara University can be limited, so plan ahead.
Hope to see you there! 🐾

Hello! To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, please note the following requirements:
- You have a positive attendance record with Girls Who Game
- You are COVID vaccinated
We will move attendees from the waitlist once we have verified these criteria, with a maximum capacity of 7 attendees.
This event is a way to get together and play board games with friends and potential friends. My roommate has a massive collection of games. We also have a fully stocked bar and a Drinkmate to make sparkling sodas and cocktails (please drink responsibly). My roommate will be making a vegetarian main dish, but other contributions are welcome.
I've marked this as a Girl's Night In - but it's alright if you cannot come for the full timeblock. The following link should take you to my roommate's BoardGameGeek collection page. If you're interested in any game in particular - comment letting her know so she can make sure to review the rules of that game (as there are many that haven't been played yet, or haven't played in a while)! Feel free to bring your own games, as well.
https://bit.ly/RP_BGGThe address will be emailed to attendees the night before so please check all folders, including SPAM.
Allergy warning: there is a cockatiel in the apartment.
