Border Board games is calling all gamers

Featured

Posted on March 6, 2013 by BethanyMDunbar

My husband, Richard Creaser, and I are geeks. We love sci fi and fantasy. We love the original Star Wars trilogy, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. We know what the TARDIS and a cylon are. We know what RPG, d20 and D&D mean. We know who the knights who say ni are. We love vampires, werewolves and zombies. And we love tabletop gaming, which is why we formed the tabletop gaming group, Border Board Games.

Border Board Games is a place where we can socialize with our fellow geeks and play some games that are more intellectually challenging than rolling some dice and moving a game piece. It is a place where we can talk to our friends about the latest anime they are watching, Monty Python or George R.R. Martin. If you are reading this and are thinking that this sounds familiar, then Border Board Games is perfect for you.

This group isn’t just for geeks. It is for anyone who enjoys social, tabletop gaming.

Border Board Games meets every 3rd Saturday of each month at the Derby Line Village Hall. We bring along a wide variety of strategy based board games that we will teach and play. Gaming begins at 6PM and everyone is welcome to stop by and play. Our next game night will be on January 19th.

We also meet once a month to play a role-playing game. If either types of games are of interest to you and you’d like more info, visit http://sites.google.com/site/borderboardgames.

We hope you consider stopping by.

This Saturday, March 16, at 6 p.m., come learn a new type of board game. Fans of Clue, Risk, Scrabble, and card games will love these games. All welcome. For more information, visit sites.google.com/site/borderboardgames or contact Bethany at 873-3028 or myersbethany@hotmail.com.
