Title: Wednesday night board games - Plainville
Post by: aduclos on October 18, 2010, 12:46:28 PM
Hello -

What are the current popular games on Wednesday nights? Anything in particular? Would anyone be up for some more thematic stuff (FFG games for example)? What time do things usually start up?

I have a good assortment of games that I could bring for anyone up for trying something.

Anthony, Rob (something) is in the process of organizing a Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night board gaming group in Plainville.  Currently, some board gamers and D&D players have been playing in the weekly Dungeons and Dragons Encounters game that starts at 7:00pm.

The few board gamers that come in currently seem to get here between 6 and 7pm and seem to play more traditional euro games.

I'm in favor of casual aka beer and pretzel type games.  I've done Carcassonne, Shadows Over Camelot, Agricola, Sitting Ducks, Bang, Apples to Apples, OOTs, Small World, Ticket to Ride, and almost anything that Jay has brought to BG Abington.

I own a handful of games such as BSG and Pandemic (just got, never played) and Agricola (thinking about getting expansion).

I'd love that!

At least in Plainville, beer is tantalizingly close even if it is stupid expensive (Piezonis).

But back to gaming, I'd love to play Agricola again and would like to try some of the Catan games.

I guess root beer and pretzels just isn't the same, huh?  :(

If you've got Arkham Horror, I'll play it.  Lovecraft is a religion.

   We're starting up this week.  Going to start at noon.  Break for lunch between 5 and 6 and start up again at 6pm.  If you are looking to play a cetrain game, let me know and I'll see if we can bring them along.  I will have new titles with me (Dominant Species, Dominion Prosperity and Hansa Tuetonica).

I'm a boardgamer from CT and I recently moved here. I found this site and I'm planning on going to the Plainville store this Wednesday (12-23-10). I play mostly Euro-games and I'll bring whatever I still have in bag from gaming this weekend (Kingsburg, Agricola, Innovation, 7 Wonders, Stone Age and I may have a card game or two in there).

Do people actually show up for boardgames around noon or around 6-7? I'd be up for some all day gaming.

I'm pretty sure the Wednesday group will only be meeting once a month.  This Tuesday, 12/21, a larger group will be getting together at about 6:00pm to game.  They also play all kinds of Euro games.

Okay, so it looks like Rob's Wednesday group will be meeting on the 2nd Wednesday of every month and Todd's Tuesday night group will be meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of every month.

Hopefully that clears up some confusion.  I know it did for me!

  I will be stopping by tonight if anyone is around, but the next all-day gathering is planned for next week on the 12th.

So I live just down the street off 152, but only recently found out about the store and board game night. I haven't actually been in yet, but I plan on visiting soon; I'm always looking for people to game with.

I know the Tuesday/Wednesday game night schedule seems to be more of a monthly thing than a weekly thing, but I figure if demand grows it'd happen more often. So this is just me saying I'd probably be interested if it were to happen more frequently. I generally go up to the board game night at MIT, which alternates between Mondays and Wednesdays (tonight, next Monday, Wed the 2nd, etc), but other than that I'd be interested in a regular board gaming night.

Would it be worth setting up a group somewhere (Facebook, Meetup.com) to try and attract some other people, and allow for RSVPing. Then if there are enough folks on a given night there could be a meet up, even if it's not every single week.

I'll be swinging by the next one (June 8th) with the big box 'o' games. If you have not tried Citadels (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels)) it's a blast!
The first rule of Citadels is the Thief always dies!

I also have Boomtown, Carrasonne (sp?) Hunters and Gatherers, Settlers of Catan w/ the expansions, Civilization (original!) Republic of Rome, and a few others.

I might be able to join in for board game nights as well, I would be able to bring any of the following:

Carcasonne
Settlers of Catan (up to 6 players)
Last Night on Earth
Arkham Horror (no expansions yet)
Betrayal at House on the Hill
Smallworld
Puerto Rico
Robo Rally
Kill Doctor Lucky

... I feel like I'm missing some, I'll update when I get home if I have more.

I guess the main question is, are these board game nights still occurring?

I believe they are, every other Wednesday evening.

The board gamers currently get together on the 2nd Wednesday and 3rd Tuesday of each month.
