Meet with local professional and aspiring video game developers who are interested in experimenting new ways to develop video games.
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. It's more constant action for everybody, and, I believe, lends itself to more goofiness! MAKE TIME FOR FUN!!
Games bring people together and sharpen the senses. They promote comraderie and much a creativity. Our mission is to bring together gamers of all skill levels and social comfortableness, and turn it into a positive experience.

… If you like to laugh, dance, and even sing and have a little competitive streak that enjoys board games, cards, baseball, train trips to the city, and interesting people with interesting minds, this is it! The only games we play have rules and if a hookup is your only goal, there are other places for that.

3/6/12 - Weekday Games & Semi-Competitive Sundays! Tuesday (3/13) will mark the return of our Tuesday/Thursday weekday games, starting at 5ish until sundown. We're also experimenting with splitting our regular Sunday games into two segments, a "recreational" game from noon - 2 PMish, which is just our typical game. As well as a "semi-competitive" game starting at 2 PMish. These will emphasize player development, smarter decision-making, and involve man-to-man defense, some harder running, playin …

The first two are easy enough to do, but where and how can you play super fun games with others? Easy: Thinkers' Toys. What are Thin …
