Check out my home game! www.BostonHomeGame.com This used to be the BPC. If you knew it, or knew of it. Then you know it was AWESOME late night poker all the time. We were serious about our poker, even if it wasn't always serious poker. It's against the law to run a poker house, so this is my super-pumped-up home poker game. Most of the tournaments are between $30-$100. There are 3-4 games each week, and they'll be posted on the calender. There's always a cash game after the tourn …

Welcome! This group is for those in Boston who like to play strategy (and slightly silly) games and be social at the same time. It is perhaps easiest to break this down word by word: Strategy games: We will not be playing Apples to Apples, LCR, or even Monopoly here. Instead, the gaming focus of this group will be on strategy games, games that make you think and plan ahead, such as Ticket to Ride, Dominion, Puerto Rico, Settlers of Catan, Power Grid, Agricola, and many more. Of course, we don't …
