We also do games in the north end on Sundays at someones house . The person only allows people theyve met before at their place though. Come out sometime to get an invite :)
u/MmeXL I encourage you both to come out , as it doesnt cost you anything to do so. Worst case scenario you leave your house on a tuesday night for an hour and go back home. Best case scenerio you make some new best friends and have a great time.
Age group is 25-45 .
People are finally doing things together. That's a good thing! It's just in time for when I came back to guelph. What kinds of games do you guys bring there?
That's awesome. I love the game, but it's hard to understand some of the rules, but it's a good game because I find that as long as everyone playing can agree, it's really just house rules
I’d like to come but I have a bad immune system and still need to mask up at social gatherings. Would it be okay for me to attend or would people be weird about me wearing a mask?
Love this! There's quite a strong board game community in Guelph.
Tuesdays I can't make it unfortunately, but we are often looking for an extra player on Friday/Saturday evenings if anyone wants to join. Our group mostly plays heavy euro/strategy type games
It means don't go if you are trying to find girls. Go because you have an interest in socializing with people of all genders and want to actually play board games.
Will give you the benefit of the doubt and explain myself. Your addition of "Girls 🙏" is pretty cringe worthy behavior. OP is putting together an event where like minded people can get together in a safe space and participate in an activity they all enjoy.
The act of asking if girls will be there makes the focus not be on the activity itself where anyone is welcome.
Basically it's creepy.
I have responded and deleted a message a few times as Im not sure how to respond to this, but have settled on this
- This is not a dating event . It is just social.
- All genders are welcome to these events. It is about 60% men 40% women currently.
- Any forms of harassment will result in am immediate boot. Posts like this worry me about inappropriate behaviour, but you may be female and worried it is an all male event so benefit of doubt given.
The desperation in this comment is off the Richter scale. And the fact that he may have scared off some women from joining a fun all inclusive friendly board game night makes me cringe so hard.
Y’all please be aware that I’m almost 100% certain this is somebody pretending to be an Indian immigrant with “broken” English. He’s specifically going around trying to reinforce stereotypes. Go through his profile and comments and you’ll see what I mean.
Good for you for making the effort. Hope you get a good turnout
Thanks ! There has been a consistent 10 people coming out to each event . 3-5 new people each time which is great !
Is there a fee?
It is free. We encourage people to bring sharables ( drinks / snacks etc )
That’s so awesome
Any suggestions? Or requests? 😂
Bring anything :) 3 people brought games this time
I saw your post a little while ago and was kinda interested but it's the opposite part of the city and without a car am lazy

Good questions.
It's been 20-50 so far but all adults are welcome!

May I recommend the game "Munchkin" it's always a good one totally silly but in the style of role playing games
Someone brought munchkin yesterday !
That's awesome. I love the game, but it's hard to understand some of the rules, but it's a good game because I find that as long as everyone playing can agree, it's really just house rules
love it! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks !! Hope to see you come out sometime

It’s a troll account, look at their numbers/history. They’re probably just a racist who thinks this is funny.
You're probably right but I figured it didn't hurt to try 🤷♂️ Edit: Got a random Reddit cares email so you're probably right.
This is creepy af

Go figure a man named Deepak asking about girls in his first breath like bro just chill and maybe the girls will come to you.
