Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Society

The Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Society (EPGS) meets every First and Third Saturday for Board Gaming in the Community Room on the Upper Level of Oxford Valley Mall. This meetup is for Saturday, September 5th, from 10 am until 8 pm. Arrive/Leave anytime within these hours.

Where is the Oxford Valley Mall and the Community Room?:
The Oxford Valley Mall is right next to Sesame Place, about 30 minutes north of Philadelphia and 15 minutes West of Trenton, New Jersey. The Community Room is near the Management Office on the Second Floor, roughly behind Torrid and Zales Jewelers. There's a small hallway that leads back to the Management Office, the Community Room and some bathrooms.

General:
Bring your favorite games! Learn some new games! There will be games available from the club supply to purchase, as well. Also, if there is enough interest in a raffle, the winner picks a game of their choice in addition to a 50/50 split of the proceeds.

Food:
We will have some tables set up as an eating area away from the gaming tables for those who prefer to eat away from the gaming table. Of course, the Mall food court is available, too. Please be courteous of others if you intend to eat while playing.

Dues:
If this is your first time at EPGS, this event is FREE.

2026 Dues Options:
Option 1 - $40: Half year (July-December), up to 12 meetings. (averages to about $3.33 per meeting if you attend them all)

Option 2 - $10: Pay as you go rate per meeting attended

EPGS is a non-profit organization. Dues allow us to keep paying for the room rent, insurance, plus website and meetup fees.

For further information about dues, contact either our club's President (Steve) or Treasurer (Mike).

Blood on the Clocktower is a supernatural murder mystery game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. Will the Good townsfolk successfully deduce and execute the Evil demon before it's too late?

Are you a fan of other social deduction classics like Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance and Avalon? Blood on the Clocktower turns those games up a notch - everyone gets a special role and dead players keep playing so that no one is out of the action! We welcome both brand new and experienced players to enjoy the in-person fun.

We're happy to teach and play at the event itself, but for those who want to dive in, there's a great YouTube How to Play video, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g

The full EPGS meetup is for Saturday, September 5th, from 10 am until 8 pm. Blood on the Clocktower will start around 12:30pm, but feel free to arrive anytime earlier to play some other games, too. The full EPGS Meetup page is here:

Non-members and club members are welcome to participate in this event, as your first visit to EPGS is FREE!

There is a separate Meetup event scheduled for the regular club meeting. Please RSVP here to reserve a spot for Blood on the Clocktower.

In the past, we've played multiple games starting at 12:30pm across all 3 base scripts (and custom scripts, too!). On days with enough attendance, we run multiple games simultaneously and usually end up playing 7-8 games. On days with fewer people, we typically manage 3-4 games. For the past year or so, we've averaged about 24 attendees and not everyone RSVPs here on MeetUp (though the Good Townsfolk do).
