Thursday Board Games

Board gamers of all kinds are welcome to our Thursday night board gaming event. **If this will be your first time attending on a Thursday, we highly recommend that you join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/f3uqDJjEec) to find a scheduled game to join.** The majority of Thursday evening games are pre-scheduled via Discord, but we do leave one or two tables open for unscheduled games—if you would like to play at one of those tables please arrive as close to the 6PM start time as possible to increase the chance that there will be space available. Looking for something more freeform? Try our Friday and Sunday events, which are almost entirely comprised of unscheduled, “pick-up” games for you to play! Entrance is $8, paid to Squarrel Cafe for unlimited gaming for the day. Food and drink are available. Attendees are strongly encouraged to support our host, Squarrel Cafe.

Come and join us at Bloomfield College Center for Technology + Creativity to participate in playtesting and socializing with fellow local game developers!

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone who enjoys playing games or wants to learn more about game development. If you do have a game project that you'd like feedback on, we welcome all types of games, whether they be digital or tabletop! We'll have tables and chairs set up for playtesting. If you're looking for playtesters, we just ask that you claim a spot on one of the tables to place your set up on, and sit on the opposite side of the table. Please bring your own laptop/equipment/etc.

Brotaku x OS NYC: Smash Tournament Comedy Show

Lose in the final seconds

Bryant Park

We play all types of games, but lean a little towards social deduction and lighter games. **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 or hosts 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. Please don’t use this game day to try to raise money for your business.
