Board games
Tables of three to five, a stack of games, somebody who knows the rules.
- 4 to 10 people
- $8 commitment
- Low-key
How a good one runs
What a good board games plan looks like
Somebody knows the rules and teaches them fast, tables are small enough that everyone plays, and newcomers are welcome at every table. No experience needed, nothing to prove. Introductions come first, so nobody is left at the edge of the group. Most plans land between 4 and 10 people: enough energy, still easy to learn names.
Tip for your first one: you do not need to know the rules. Say so when you sit down. Teaching is half the fun for the people who do.

Board games questions
Do I need to be good at board games?
No. There are no levels for board games. People come for the company as much as the thing itself.
What does the $8 commitment do?
It is a hold on your card, not a charge. Show up and it is released. Cancel 24+ hours before and it is released in full. Cancel later and 50% is kept, unless someone from the waitlist takes your spot. If you do not show up, it is kept.
What if the host cancels?
Every hold is released automatically, and you get a message straight away. The same happens if the plan does not reach its minimum number of people.
Love board games? Host it.
Pick the game, cap the table at the number it plays best, and say whether beginners are welcome. Suggested hold: $8.
