This Meetup repeats on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.

Come join us for lots of fun at our Open Game Night!

What is an Open Game Night?

Open Gaming means you can play whatever you want. Our members will bring a variety of games to share. You can play one of those games, or you can bring your own to share, too! There are no limits to what can be played (although we try to keep it family appropriate, please!).

What time does it start/end?

It starts at 5:00pm and we try to conclude around 9:00pm. But don't worry about being late or leaving early. Come when you can and leave when you need.

Should I bring a game? Should I bring anything else?

You don't have to bring a game, but you are welcome to if you wish. You don't really need to bring anything else unless you want to make a donation or buy snacks.

Where do we play?

This Open Game Night is being held at the DECATUR CLUB. Once at the Decatur Club, take the elevator to the 3rd Floor, then head to the Library.

Who is all going to be there?

Whomever RSVPs Yes! We typically have around 15 people at our Meetups, so there's lots of opportunities to meet new people and play new games.

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely! When you RSVP, you can add guests. But even if you forget, it's no big deal - bring some friends along!

Does it cost to attend?

We do not charge or have dues. We do set out a donation box, and we ask for $1 - $2 per person to help cover expenses, but that is NOT required, and we don't keep track.

Is there food/drinks available?

Food and drinks are available at the Decatur Club. Please note that outside food/drinks are not allowed.

I have other questions!

Feel free to discuss this Meetup or ask questions in our Message Board.

Did someone leave a copy of Sherlock Holmes? It was left in the room, and it might belong to the Decatur Club, but I wanted to ask first. If no one claims it, I'll take it back to the DC Library.

I've got it with me. It'll play 7-15, so we should try to run it tonight.

AYAWW would be fun if we have 14-15 people around

@Josh, great idea. I'm not sure now if Chris is coming tomorrow, I'll try to get AYAWW from him in case he doesn't.

Maybe we should play a couple rounds of AYAWW with so many people coming. We could use that big long table again.

Good lord, we have a lot of people coming to this one! That's fantastic! Saboteur!

Oh, I've heard good things about CITOW. I would look forward to giving it a crack.

@ Adam. Please do! I'd love a chance to try it before I buy it. :D

If I can make it, I'll make sure I bring Chaos in the Old World. It is great.

I'm holding off on buying that game, gonna save my cash and see what kind of deals present themselves at Gencon.

@Josh, that sounds cool.
@Sam, I've got Settlers with Cities and Knights, which is a great expansion. I also have Seafarers, which isn't worth playing. I'll bring my whole Catan case and we can see what we want to do. I'll have to review the rules...

Depending on how many people we get together... I've been struggling with myself not to buy FFGs "Chaos in the old world". I don't know how much longer I can hold out not buying it. It's only for 4 though so we'd need 8+ so as not to leave a couple odd men out. Just a starting thought.
