Hi guys!
The Folks at “the Fizz” are letting us have our event in their meeting room for free, yay!! They only ask that we let the people who live in the building play with us if they want. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends and show everyone that we have the friendliest group in meetup by far!!!
If this event works out well, we might be able to have more events here for free. So let’s be careful with chairs and tables and clean up after ourselves.
“No shows” are bad: Because the event is free, pleased do show up and do not cancel last minute, it’s ok if you cannot make it at 6pm sharp, you can join later. The only downside is that you might have to wait a bit until a new round of a game starts.
Information regarding current COVID health issues:
We are setting the limit at 20 people, on top of which we add the people who live in the Fizz building.
Welcome to our board game group! If it’s the first time you join, we’re sure you’ll have a great time. We have an open and friendly group where anyone can find something to play, regardless of their level of experience with games. Even if you don’t own any games yourself, there are plenty of people bringing their own games that they explain and they have you playing in no time. If you are shy or hesitant about meeting new people, do not be worried at all, we have probably one of the friendliest and most approachable groups in meetup.
For every available game that you want to join, someone who brought the game will explain the rules before starting, so you don't need to prepare anything in advance if you don't want to. However, if you want other people to play your games, you'll be expected to teach them to the people that will be offering to play with you. As you can see, we do this as a community, anybody can step up and organise a specific game of something they like! We definitely encourage you to do it.If you offer to host a game one particular night and you cannot find anyone to play with you, don't become frustrated, try again the following Friday, "Patience is the key that opens the last door." (Arab proverb).
Don't be afraid that the games being played might be to difficult if you're new to boardgames. It's almost guaranteed that you'll be explained a game that you'll quickly understand and enjoy. Just please take care of other people’s games, don’t bend the cards, don’t throw things away.
In general, the games are played in English as many of the participant aren't native german speakers. However, if everyone at the table agrees, it is ok to play in another language. Just be nice: if one person at the table cannot understand the language you are trying to speak, you should use English.
