Hi everyone: The Markham/Richmond Hill Group invites you to join us for another drop-in board gaming social! We play a large variety of games ranging from lighter party games to heavier strategy. This event is open to both new and seasoned players. The location (a meeting room above a restaurant - just south of Yonge and Finch) will be visible in the comments section below, to RSVPs. We also host other board gaming events and socials (such as Escape Rooms, Tennis, Hiking, etc) not posted on Meetup. If interested, message me and I can provide you the link to our discord server. Let me know if you have any questions. See you then!!
