Board Game Night!!!!
About the event
Hello Meeples!!!!
I host board game night every Thursday at Face to Face Games, located at 1398 Danforth Ave (about a 3 min walk from Greenwood station, or a 7 min walk from Coxwell station)! How it works I’ll be seated at the table at the very back right hand corner of Face to Face Games (near the washrooms).
We usually have 2 tables reserved for our group. (If you can’t find us, ask one of the staff members.) I’ll bring a variety of games from my own collection to board game night, but attendees are free to bring any of their own games as well! Got a brand new game you’ve been dying to play but never have enough players? Bring it along!
Got a retro game that you think is a hidden gem? Bring it along and spread the joy! I usually come early at around 4:30pm. If there are other attendees who also arrive early, then we can play some shorter games until 6pm. Six o’clock is when the event officially starts and is when most attendees start trickling in.
Once we have most people assembled, we collectively decide which games we want to play and split into groups accordingly. We usually have one group tackling a heavy board game (ie. a game that tends to be more complex and takes longer to finish) while the others play short to medium-length games, but this is very flexible and will depend on turnout and the kinds of games people bring.
If you can only get here later or if you arrive late, don’t fret. We’ll see what game you can join so that you can get playing as soon as possible!
Rules of the Tables:
We are a cool and relaxed group - we swear! But to ensure things run smoothly and that everyone is having fun, we do some some rules we would like attendees to follow:
• Please be respectful of people’s games and property. For example\, if you’re having a snack (please share\!)\, make sure your fingers are clean before you handle cards\, mats\, meeples\, and the like. People are generous to bring their games to board game night\, so we want to be mindful not to damage or dirty their stuff.
• Please be mindful of your cellphone usage during the game. Of course this doesn’t mean you can’t use your cellphone to shoot a quick text message or to check something quickly. we’re not monsters\!
• However\, if you’re always focused on your cellphone (for example\, watching a video or playing a cellphone game) and are not paying attention to the rules being explained\, or you constantly need the other players to repeat themselves as to what sick moves they just made\, then it ends up taking away from everyone’s enjoyment of the game.
• Please be decent\, in dress and in conduct. No bullying\, excessive swearing\, racist or sexist language\, and all the other bad stuff.
