Serious Strategy: New Angeles
About the event
Interested in a board game meetup with a focus on games with deeper strategy and more replayability? Prefer spending your time diving into gameplay rather than learning new rules every session?
“Serious Strategy” is a meetup series designed for those who enjoy thoughtful, engaging games that reward repeated play. We focus on revisiting well-regarded strategy titles that offer depth and challenges not found in more casual or party-style games, offering the opportunity to match wits with other strategically-inclined players.
Four rules:
1. Learn the game ahead of time *(rulebook and/or videos will be provided)* 2. Respect your fellow gamers and the game *(be timely and take the game seriously)* 3. Support the venue *(order a drink or food from the cafe)* 4. Sign up here and [on the Google Spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r9DWSb-GFbXM1etp0E0gCsld_TXhOLSN9M4Hx1xdnGc/edit?gid=0#gid=0) to reserve your slot (so we know which game you're playing - not needed if only one game)
This week's game: New Angeles
Combining negotiation and hidden roles, New Angeles casts players as the heads of shady megacorporations in a cyberpunk future, working together to exploit the city for massive profits and keep the government regulators at bay. Each player has a secret rival player they're trying to outperform - but one player may secretly be working with the Feds to bring down the whole enterprise. In this semi-coop game, there may be multiple winners - but always at least one loser.

*NOTE*: Our venue has room for at least two larger-scale games, but I can only host one game at a time right now. If you'd like to host a second game at our meetup, let me know.
With a limited number of seats, no-shows are no fun - and may prevent us from playing at all - so those who no-show or cancel with less than 48 hours notice will be restricted in their ability to sign up in the future.
