We started this Meetup to bring together the best devs, designers and entrepreneurs in the local social, casual and MMORPG games space. Come meet some friends, hear a couple of great industry speakers talk about what's cool in games. We're especially interested in Casual Game Association Minna Mingles members and IGDA members who may have not gotten together in a long time. Hopefully we can be a resource. Please join our Meetup and pass the URL to other friends of yours in the local gam …

We're all about allowing people to get together and make new friends.

Come play some of the more modern Euro and non-traditional board games out there and meet new people and have fun! We are loosely based in Norwood, MA., so most of the meetups will be local to that area.

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 …

I started this group because of all the awesome mobile games I see coming out of Boston. There is a ton of great talent here and we could all learn a lot and benefit greatly from getting together.

Feel free to bring in your old games. - Crossfire!!! - Topple - Perfection - Guess Who? - Don't Break The Ice - Shark Attack - Operation - Kerplunk - Battleship - Hungry Hungry Hippos

A Gathering of the minds on tips, tricks and best practices for using HTML5 as a platform for developing highly-interactive in-browser applications (with a focus on Game Development)

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 …

… Our initial general focuses are the development of playable stories in which the reader/audience is a participant; the writer’s contractual role in that development process leading to publication or release; and the intersection of story and gameplay in the broader video games industry. In order to keep our attention on interactive narrative we do not intend to focus on career topics related to game journalism or writing about games. Organization Structurally, this will be an experimental region …

  MTG Boston is a Meetup group for causal players of the card game Magic: The Gathering in the Greater Boston area.  We had so many Magic in our gaming group, Boston Cards and Conversation, that we have created a new group just for M:tG players! Some of our members are tournament players, but for the most part, this is a group of casual players using fun, non-tournament decks. Whether you are a 15-year veteran or are just beginning how to play, you'll find MTG Boston to be the best place to get …

  Chess is an incredible game...but with all the smartphones, Xboxes, iPads, and iPods out there, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. In fact, games don't have to be played in high def or with high-tech controllers to be fully engaging. Chess is one of those games. With a simple board and 32 pieces, chess continues to captivate amateurs and grandmasters alike. All you need is a basic knowledge of how the pieces move, a fair amount of concentration and insight and you have become a viab …

This is a group for all lovers of Scrabble in the Boston area, currently meeting in Somerville, MA. We are an informal group of folks with a wide range of skills. If you are just starting to go beyond living room play, I think you'll have fun, but if you're an advanced player you'll also have a chance to have a little competition. People chat over the games and occasionally play open with a dictionary. Most games are two player, but you might find a three or four player game. Finally, we often h …
