Board Games at Outpost Langford

I am inviting you all to Friday night board games at the Outpost Board Game Cafe in Langford.

We are going to be using a group size of 22 people. You are welcome to use the waiting list if more than 22 people RSVP. Sometimes, people who RSVP do not show up or cancel at the last minute, so feel free to come if you are on the waiting list.

When you arrive please ask for the Langford Gamer Group.

This Meetup has become quite popular. I have decided to add an additional time when we can meet at the Outpost Board Game Cafe. I have thought about the best time to do a Saturday meetup and I have chosen the 7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. time that we have been doing on Fridays. I hope this time on Saturday works for most people. Since the weather is becoming more rainy and cool, I think this meetup will be quite popular. I will set the Saturday Night Board Games meetup to repeat until March 21, 2026. Bringing your own games is always a good idea.

It’s been a while! Let’s see if we still remember how to play. Grab some brunch with me and let’s dive into some otherworldly strategy.
Join in for a relaxed, longer-format Sunday morning game hangout featuring Terraforming Mars.

Expect a full play-through of the game, where you will manage resources, build infrastructure, and compete for influence over the terrain (3-4 hours plus).
Whether you've played before or are just curious, there's a seat at the table for you.

I will have two copies of Terraforming Mars available (up to 5 players each). Friends/guests are more than welcome to hangout and watch the game.

A shorter hike than our last. More of a forest walk, except for a few sharper inclines. Time and weather permitting, we’ll sit and play some card games on a blanket at the lookout about halfway through the hike.

Total hike should be about 40-45 minutes, so 20-25 minutes until we stop for a game. This is a relatively popular route. Things to keep in mind about the trail itself:

• There’s not much loose gravel or soil, but quite a few rocks, some branches, and a few roots along the way. Watch your step and wear appropriate footwear and leg-wear.
• I propose heading south on the gravel road path instead of the “west” path suggested by AllTrails, but we could do either. AllTrails’s suggestion leads to a much longer uphill upfront, while heading the southern route saves the uphill for the back quarter. The biggest incline/decline is 65m, but not particularly steep: just long.
• There are a few other sharp inclines where the trail momentarily “drops”, but they are pretty short.
• Rated “easy” on AllTrails, but that doesn’t include the extra loop at the end.
• With the loop at the end, it’s a little over 3km total.

There should be plenty of parking at the entrance to the park, plus pit toilets. I’ll be waiting at the park sign at the trailhead. We’ll head out no later than 5 minutes from the MeetUp start time. Look below for pictures of the MeetUp spot, and a map of the route.

If it’s a drizzle, I’ll still be there but probably won’t play a game midway through the hike. If the weather is pouring it on in the morning, I will cancel, so please check back on the app. Dress warmly! Hope to see you there.
