Serious Strategy: New Angeles

Interested in a board game meetup with a focus on games with deeper strategy and more replayability? Prefer spending your time diving into gameplay rather than learning new rules every session? “Serious Strategy” is a meetup series designed for those who enjoy thoughtful, engaging games that reward repeated play. We focus on revisiting well-regarded strategy titles that offer depth and challenges not found in more casual or party-style games, offering the opportunity to match wits with other strategically-inclined players. Four rules: 1. Learn the game ahead of time *(rulebook and/or videos will be provided)* 2. Respect your fellow gamers and the game *(be timely and take the game seriously)* 3. Support the venue *(order a drink or food from the cafe)* 4. Sign up here and on the Google Spreadsheet to reserve your slot (so we know which game you're playing - not needed if only one game) This week's game: New Angeles Combining negotiation and hidden roles, New Angeles casts players as the heads of shady megacorporations in a cyberpunk future, working together to exploit the city for massive profits and keep the government regulators at bay. Each player has a secret rival player they're trying to outperform - but one player may secretly be working with the Feds to bring down the whole enterprise.
