Host: Brian Bloom Send an email to Brian
Description: A new group is forming for meeting players of various card and board games! We'll be playing all sorts of traditional and new games, whatever folks want to try.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/portlandgames/

A small list of possibilities:
Apples to Apples, Backgammon, Big Two, Canasta, Crazy Eights, Cribbage, Dominoes, Euchre, 500, Fluxx, 42, Great Dalmuti, Hearts, Kings Corners, Mille Bornes, Oh Hell, Pente, Pinochle, President, Rage, Rook, Rummy, Scat, Scrabble, Spades, Uno, Wizard, and many more!

We're trying to connect all those people who have favorite games from college or their childhood but can't find enough folks to play them. We'll also try anything new too.

Once we reach critical mass we'll be meeting at various locations around town (like coffeehouses, restaurants, and maybe even conference facilities depending on how large it gets). Think of it like a regular Con that happens all the time! :)

This isn't intended as a poker, wargaming, CCG, or RPG group, as several of those exist already. This is more for traditional card and board games (like the list above) and more social/recreational gatherings.

If you're interested, check it out! And help spread the word. The more players, the more we get to play our favorite games!

Contact me with any questions or suggestions.
