Do something.  Learn something.  Share something. Change something…. and play games!  We remember times we've had game night with friends, and now, perhaps game night with Meetup friends works even better.  Join for an easy evening of board games.  We plan to hang at a bar, sip at a coffee house, lounge on a friend's sofa with sparkling conversation and a languid competitive effort.  Break out.  Toss some dice.  Join us for some family-fun styled adult diversion.

Meet nearby Party Game Players! This group is designed for adults (sort-of) who enjoy games like Pictionery, Scattergories, Password, and Charades. Very easy rules and a nice, intimate setting where we keep score but nobody loses.  Typically, we stick to PARTY games and not card or board games.
