Hobby board games meet-up (Lakewood)
« on: August 29, 2018, 05:39:19 PM »
Would anyone here be interested in getting together to play some board/card games?

(Examples of hobby games: Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, San Juan, Castles of Burgundy,
Neuroshima Hex, Nexus Ops. Examples of non-hobby games: Anything 2 out of 3 families
in America have owned at some point, usually found at Wal-Mart or every flea market ever.)

I plan to be at the Lakewood public library this Sunday with Forbidden Desert and Star Realms
(probably at a table near the front).

(I won't be alone if no one from here shows up - I wouldn't have posted if that was the case.)

Will there be calzones?

Food and drink are not allowed in the library.

A username like that might discourage some members from showing up

Someone did ask me if my name was meant to indicate I was Mexican a while ago,
when I started posting in a Discord under it... but wouldn't you assume that anyone
posting here was Jewish?

The public library is hosting an all-day boardgaming event this Thursday. I plan to be there for some of it (I don't know exactly when).

Nope - they haven't reopened on Sundays yet (due to Covid).

The last mention of the library in this context was in 2019.
