Join us at Sketchbook Brewing Company in Evanston for our Sunday Board Game Meetup! We meet most Sundays at Sketchbook. Just look for the group in the back that has stacks of board games to pick from! We welcome people of all skill levels to come and play, as we always teach new games to people that have not played them before. Feel free to bring your own games that you want to teach and are familiar with. A typical event starts with talking about what we brought that week, and then we break out into smaller groups to play games based on player count and what everyone is interested in. It's common to have 2 or 3 games going at once, and fitting in a second or third game before the event ends at 4pm. Please RSVP and be on time so that we can include you at the start of the first game, and buy a drink to support the venue!

Event address - **925 W Diversey Pkwy** ([google maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/925+W+Diversey+Pkwy,+Chicago,+IL+60614)) **Space & Rules** * Suggested Donation of $10 * You can join anytime and regardless of registration status (as long as we are under space capacity, 50 people) We provide games, soft drinks, seltzers, and water. We may not have all the games you are looking for so PLEASE feel free to bring any game(s) you'd like to play and/or drinks (non-alcoholic) and food. You'll see silly, social party games, European economic simulators, social deduction experiences, and everything in-between. We love teaching the games, so even if you're not familiar (yet!) with what games can do lately, you'll come away having learned something new. Your suggested donation of $10 (Venmo or cash) includes hours of gaming and all the beverages you care to drink, and it directly benefits the space rental fee and continued success of the event. Looking forward to seeing you all for the 5th installment of this local board game meetup!

Join us to play some chess and meet new friends! All levels of players are welcome. Bring your chess set, if you have it. Let's meet, play, and make new friends! IMPORTANT: The space is limited. Please RSVP if you consider coming. There are MANY reasons we request you do it. PLEASE ALWAYS RSVP!!! Please use the "Comments" area in the bottom of the event page to post any questions or comments.

Come play all kinds of board games on Monday nights! Both beginners and experienced gamers are welcome. You're not expected to know any of the games as we're always happy to do teach-and-plays. While the hosts will bring games, we also encourage members to bring any games they'd like to play. **ATTENDANCE** You do not have to arrive at 5:30 sharp! People drop in-and-out throughout the Meetup and we often play more than one game a night. For those driving, there is plenty of free parking near the location. **FOOD & DRINK** While there is no cover charge or minimum purchase, we do ask that you support the venue by making a purchase when attending. The brewery has a lot of non-alcoholic beverage options for those that do not drink alcohol. You are **allowed to bring outside food** into the brewery as they do not serve food.

We play both board and card games that involve some sort of strategy component. Typically these games take 1-2 hours and are 4-5 players. Examples of these include Agricola, Great Western Trail, Tzolk'in, Terra Mystica, Castles of Burgundy, Beyond the Sun, Ark Nova, etc. If anyone would like to post comments about what games they'd like to play that night/solicit interest from other attendees, great to think ahead. No problem if not though, will bring a bunch of games, and everyone can just figure out what they'd like to play upon arrival. If you don't know games like the ones listed above but are up for learning, there are at least a couple of us available to teach. Please try to arrive on time! While you're welcome to show up late, if everyone is in a long game, you may be waiting for some time for another game to start.

Every two weeks, we meet at 7:00 PM for an free, open board game night. When you arrive, just grab a seat + food and come find us (in the back, past the bar). This is a friendly, teach-as-we-go group with a solid mix of experienced and new board gamers. You're welcome to bring your own games or just yourself. Most games that are played at these events are light-to-medium weight and finish in 90 minutes or less, giving folks the opportunity to play multiple games in an evening. (Heavier 2+ hour games do sometimes make it to the table as well, though, so feel free to bring them!) More involved games tend to be played earlier in the evening, and games later on tend to be on the lighter side. The mix of board game genres on hand changes every week and spans strategy, abstract, co-op, limited communication, party games, and more. A typical event: * 7:05 PM: introductions, going around the room and giving each attendee an opportunity to introduce themselves and pitch any games they brought and would like to play. * 7:10 PM: we set up for the titles with the most interest and get rolling. * Late arrivals: It’s a bit trickier once games are underway, but we often have tables that can add players mid-game. If none are available, we’ll queue you for the second round of games. Please feel free to reach out to the organizers with any questions you have regarding event details. Hope you to see you here!

It has been neat building out such a great and friendly community of fellow board game fans here on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Yesenia and I (Jose) are so tickled to be now able to host regularly scheduled game night events here at our very own venue: Stay and Play Game Cafe. We have a great menu and full drink service for those of you looking to purchase some grub or drinks. See here: [https://stayandplaygamecafe.com/menu](https://stayandplaygamecafe.com/menu) Our library is stocked with over 700+ games to play. Check the library out here: [https://stayandplaygamecafe.com/game-library](https://stayandplaygamecafe.com/game-library) However, the owners are absolutely fine with you bringing your own titles and letting them know what additional titles they should look to add. Finally, all skill levels are welcome. This is a really friendly group; always willing to teach games they are familiar with and a healthy appetite for learning new ones. Looking forward to seeing you there. We know that plans change, so please kindly update your RSVP if you can't make it. Thanks! —Jose and Yesenia p.s.
