Board Game Night

View all social events

Introverts unite! [Irony acknowledged here.]

At 7pm, Bring a modern or classic board game (I sense boggle in your future) or card game (Fluxx, anyone?) to the conference. Together, we'll own farms or otherwise level up.

You don't have to bring a game to participate: anyone can play! And don’t worry if you aren’t interested in playing any of the games, you can also come and just hang out.

Please add any games you will be bringing to the comments on this page & Thanks!

Host: 

Adelle from Georgia Tech is helping organize this random act of community fun.

Time and Date: 
Wednesday, June 4, 2014 - 19:00 to 22:00
Location: 

Hilton conference hotel lobby, coffeeshop & bar : we're taking over!!!.... We might also spillover into the coder lounge, if we run out of room.

I can bring two variations of Risk:

1) Traditional Risk
2) Starcraft 2 Risk

I can bring Monopoly if that sounds interesting game to play..

I have several expansions for it too. If there's an interest, I'll bring my set. I know it's not a board game, but it is a fun game to play.

I'm glad you're as excited about this event as I am! It was great to chat with you after our training session.

As I mentioned, I've gotten a lot of requests to NOT have this particular game at Board Game night. There's concern that it would create an unwelcoming space.

And, of course, we fabulous Drupalistas want to make DrupalCon a great experience for Everybody!

Thanks for being so understanding!!

It's a pity, CAH is a great game... but since this is a reasonably official evening, we can't bring it out. You're welcome to set up a game separately in a room or a bar or something of course, and I would probably even join! But for this event, it has to be family friendly games only.

...if gaming is happening any time other than Wednesday evening, when I have a conflict. I have No Thanks, Love Letter, and Mascarade in my bag.

Hey JonBob -- I'm interested in some gaming tonight. I think I might be able to round up another person or two as well. What about 9:15 or so at the Hilton lobby? I'm @azinck on twitter.

Glad to see this happening. A few of us were separately organizing something similar with the same basic plan so we'll pile in with you. I brought Puerto Rico, Dominion, Innovation, and Settlers.

I've got Catan. I'll be there quite a bit later (maybe 9pm?) but will bring it by.

All sorts of confused, thought it was Thursday night. And now I'm going to miss Catan! Oh well, my bad. Please tell me if there's a Thursday night too!

I brought Dixit and We Didn't Playtest This At All.

Was wondering the same about the time...The comment above me seems to be posted in the future. :)

We had a great turnout last night and the Hilton lobby worked out just fine. Looking forward to tonight.

Finding space was a pain & your delightful boldness inspired us to just make it happen in the lobby. Thanks for showing up BOTH nights!

Great time - To bad I had to leave early to do some scheduling.
Will the event reappear for Thurs & Fri?

I'm not sure I'll commit to creating an event on here but I can almost guarantee you that I'll be in the Hilton lobby with games the next 2 nights (Thursday and Friday) so folks who are interested should stop by.
