Hi folks – this is a gentle reminder – IF you are attending a Monday game night with EGL – to please ensure you RSVP for the event via the Meetup event page.

Further, if you have RSVP’d yes but find you can’t attend, please PLEASE change your response to a NO so that folks on the waitlist can attend.

Thankfully, game nights have become very popular (yay!), so much so that we’ve regularly got a full house. However, we are limited by the amount of table space available at the venue, hence the cap on attendees.

We’d love to see you around the table and don’t wish to turn anyone away … but in the interest of equity – if the venue is full on a given night and there’s limited seats – then please understand that we have to give precedence to guests who a) have a “yes” RSVP and b) are present within 15m of the event start time.

As ever, if you have any questions or concerns, contact us via our meetup page.

After a hiatus of nearly a year, we have found another venue, allowing us to again host weekly game night in San Francisco! We’re in talks with the Game Parlour (SF’s very first board game cafe!) about use of their space for our group’s meetups. The Game Parlour is located in the Inner Sunset (near 15th/Irving)., and has offered to reserve table space for our group’s meetups. There’s a full menu, a large game library and many tables. It’s a mere one block from the N Judah and EGL’s game nights will likely remain on Mondays 6-11pm (see below). Please take a moment to answer some questions re: viability of this venue for EGL at http://bit.ly/eglreborn … your feedback is invaluable as we figure out next steps for our group. Thank you!

It is our goal to keep this fantastic group that Gordon created (back in 2011!) continuing & active as the prime board game meetup for San Francisco.

We are actively seeking a new venue for our regular meetups. If you’ve any leads or recommendations for community rooms, meeting spaces or the like that can serve as a home for the EGL, please contact us at info@sfegl.com.

Too, perhaps you would consider reaching out to your own online collective with a post on Facebook, Twitter, etc, in case someone in your circle has any leads? Thank you!

Consider contacting your collective with the following request:

In search of a community room…my boardgame group is in search of a community space for our regular (weekly or biweekly) meetups; if you’ve any leads or recommendations re: community meeting rooms (think community centers, churches, etc), please let me know.

Background: The SF European Gaming League (www.sfEGL.com) is a sober, recreational group that gathers to play games, build community and occasionally host fundraisers. On average we bring together about 30-40 people, one night per week, with a core group of regulars. We are open to everyone, and have rotating hosts to welcome new visitors to our group!
