Organizer’s description

New Venue Starting September 30! We’re excited to announce that Meetup is moving next door to Hopleaf Bar beginning Wednesday, September 30! We’ll still meet every other Wednesday from 7:00 PM to around 10:00 PM, just in a bigger, brighter space that’s even better for game night. We’re also launching a Facebook group to help everyone stay connected, organize impromptu game nights, and keep up with future events. 📍 Hopleaf Bar (right next door to Konak) 🔗 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chicagosocialboardgamegroup We can’t wait to see everyone at our new home! ------------------------------- Every two weeks, we meet at 7:00 PM for a free, open board game night. When you arrive, walk upstairs, just grab a seat + food. This is a friendly, teach-as-we-go group with a solid mix of experienced and new board gamers. You're welcome to bring your own games or just yourself. Most games that are played at these events are light-to-medium weight and finish in 90 minutes or less, giving folks the opportunity to play multiple games in an evening. (Heavier 2+ hour games do sometimes make it to the table as well, though, so feel free to bring them!) More involved games tend to be played earlier in the evening, and games later on tend to be on the lighter side.
