Northwest Side Chicago Board Game Friends

This group meets on the first Friday of the month. We are a really friendly group, always willing to teach games that we know and a healthy appetite for learning new ones. All skill levels are welcome.

Stay and Play Game Café has a great menu and full drink service for those of you looking to purchase some grub or drinks:

The Game Pass fee is $5 for event participants that purchase $10 of food and/or drink. Otherwise, the fee is $15.

The Café’s library is stocked with over 700+ games. Check out the library here:

The owners are absolutely fine with if you bring your own titles and suggest games to add to their collection. Please, if you bring your own game(s), tell your server so there’s no confusion with the Café’s games.

Looking forward to seeing you. We know that plans change, so please update your RSVP if you can't make it.

We gratefully acknowledge that this is a continuation of the Meet Up that met for almost five years at the Norwood Park Historical Society.

Game on!!

Co Hosts

Anyone who has been to the cafe on a Thursday knows how we love our 90s R&B. And we also love card games like Spades, Rummy, and Hearts. Come and join us in a game! We are happy to teach.

For those new to Stay and Play Game Cafe, check out our website here:

New to D&D or just need a refresher? No problem!
Want to continue from or jump into a previously-launched campaign? No problem!

Join one of Stay and Play Game Cafe's resident Dungeon Masters and up to 6 others for a fun adventure.

For the best experience, 3 adventures at minimum are needed and no more than 7 in total. The time window will allow for more than enough time for intros, campaign, and breaks in between. All the while, order and enjoy some food and drinks while you play.

So grab your dice (or borrow a set from us), and get ready to roll initiative.

Note: RSVPs are required and keeping your RSVP updated is important. That allows us to properly allocate our DMs as well as manage folks that are on the waitlist.

Note2: Given that we've had a large uptick in "no-shows" we will be reaching out (via direct message) to first timers to confirm their participation. If we don't hear back, we will be move them to either "waitlist" or "not-going" as appropriate so as to allow those on the waitlist a chance to get in. I hope everyone can appreciate the need for us to do so. If you have questions, please let me know.
