About us
Are you tired of showing up to a game events only to spend an hour deciding what to play—or worse, finding there isn't a spot open in a game you actually enjoy?
Saturday Morning Boardgaming! is designed to take the frustration out of the hobby. We host curated board game events where the lineup is announced in advance, so you know exactly what you’re playing before you even leave the house. No more "analysis paralysis" in the parking lot or settling for a filler game when you wanted something meatier.
Our primary mission is getting those tough-to-table games out and played. Whether it’s a sprawling 4X epic, a complex heavy euro, or a high-player-count legacy title, we provide the structure and the players to finally get your "shelf of shame" favorites into action.

23 Knives
Gamers Guild - North Phoenix, 1818 w Bell Rd , Suite 115, Phoenix, AZ, USIn a game of 23 Knives, you take on the role of a Roman citizen with one of three allegiances: a loyalist to Caesar, a liberator of Rome, or an opportunist biding their time. Throughout the game, you travel through Rome, manipulating other citizens and swaying them to your cause.
At the end of the game, if 23 or more knives are in the Curia, Caesar is dead and the liberator most committed to killing Caesar wins. With fewer than 23 knives, the loyalist most dedicated to saving Caesar wins. Opportunists are those who linger, waiting to shift the fate of Caesar at the last moment, and if they do, they win as a team.
