Sat. Board Games & Pizza on Oct 24th ALL DAY!
Sat, Oct 24, 6:00 PMWe will be mixing up our location this time just for some variety! This time, our host is Orig Ray’s Pizza on Columbus & 82nd! They have offered their large event area in the back of the restaurant to us (again, please do order a slice, some cheese sticks, a drink, something to make sure we support our hosts since they aren’t charging us for the space, we need to be sure they do well! (I also like to offer a small pitch option for people. Then we can combine it all to get the whole group something such as a full pizza or some appetizers etc) I have our end time at 7:30 but in all honesty, they are open till 2am, so for those night owl gamers, please enjoy & stay longer! I’ll have a wide selection of games as always & please don’t hesitate to send in some requests of games to make sure to include as options. We play a large variety of games, usually starting off with something lighter & then breaking up into smaller groups picking games to play from there. We play everything from lighter social games to heavy brain burner euros. (I’m a huge euro game fan) All are welcome and no need to know how to play any of the games, we are always happy to teach as there are usually several who are new to a game at any given time. If you would like to support the group’s game library & meetup fees, please note “meetup” in your donation via Venmo : @BarrRec (& thank you so very much! It is beyond appreciated!!

Monthly Weekend Afternoon Boardgaming at Cobblestones (September 2026)
Sat, Oct 24, 4:00 PM\*\* In order to support Cobblestones for letting us use their space, there is a $15 minimum food/drink order per person.\*\* The monthly weekend meetup at Cobblestones is back! This is where we tend to stay longer & play more games than our weekly get-together. The next one will be on Saturday September 26, 2026. Join us for our awesome Weekend Boardgaming Meetup at Cobblestone's pub! We start around noon & usually stay until the early evening. We're a friendly group of gamers that play everything from Codenames & Ticket to Ride to Blood Rage & Agricola! Everyone is welcome - all ages (must be over 21) but must be young at heart! If you don't recognize the games, don't worry, everyone is happy to teach new players the rules. And feel free to bring your own board games if you wish. Between all of us, there's usually a large selection of games to choose from. If you're looking for a chill, fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon - come join us! In order to support our awesome, not-too-loud venue, each person must purchase something to eat or a few drinks. **Again, there is a $15 minimum per person.** *** We always welcome new people & we're all here to have fun, but we do have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to be aware of: * Treat everyone in the group with respect & do not discriminate. Some of us "trash talk" when we play, but it's all in good fun & in the spirit of gaming. * This is a restaurant/bar so accidents are bound to happen. However, if you're responsible for ruining someone else's game by spilling a beverage or food on it, the right thing to do is to offer to purchase a new copy for them. Some of the games we bring are out of print so please treat every board game with respect. * If a game is accidentally ruined by a staff member, everyone at the table should pitch in to buy a new one for the owner. More often than not, this comes to about $10/person or less, so in our opinion it isn't too much to ask for. We look forward to seeing you there!
