What to Expect

  • Chuck's is a business

    They have been gracious hosts, so we encourage you to purchase food and drinks while you're here, and clean up after yourselves.

  • No game required

    Regulars bring suitcases of games and are willing to teach any newcomers. But if you have something you want to play, bring it along!

  • All experience levels

    From first-time gateway games to heavy Euros that last the whole night. There is usually a game for everyone.

  • Communication on Discord

    Discord is where we post updates about the group, coordinate specific games, and post about other events.
