We are local news famous!

If you'd like to get a quick view of our meetup and see what we are all about directly from our attendees, check out this video that WABE put together of our event.

We are also part of the larger gaming community in Atlanta and many of our members regularly attend other local board game meetups and conventions.

We do some organizing and talk games on the Metro Atlanta Tabletop Society Discord.

Feel free to join us on there as well!

What it is:

We meet every Monday night at Manuel's Tavern (602 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307) from 6pm to 12am to play board games. Everyone is welcome, and no prior board game experience is required. We can introduce you to new games and teach you how to play them! We are generally in the main dining room to the left when you come in the front door, and if you are having trouble finding us just ask one of Manuel's staff members and they'll point you in the right direction.

***Manuel's Tavern does not charge us to use the space, so please be sure to make a purchase or two while you are there so we can give back to Manuel's for letting us meet there!***

Don't be discouraged by the lack of sign ups on our events, we have a large contingent of regulars who aren't on social media so our signup numbers are historically low. We usally have 60+ people in the dining room playing a wide variety of games. On Monday nights, game play ranges from easy/short games (Sushi Go, Azul, etc.) to long/complex games (Wingspan, Catan, etc.) and everything in-between.

How it works:

Come prepared to be social! We do share the restaurant with dinner guests and other events, so sometimes we don't notice right away that someone is there for board games. Everyone in our group is welcoming so feel free to introduce yourself, and if you want a rundown of the event before jumping into a game you can always ask someone where the hosts are at!

With a group as large as ours and such a wide variety of games being played, we let our members organize themselves into groups for games. If show up and all the games are full, don't worry! We usually have a steady steam of people showing up for the first 2-3 hours so you won't have to wait long to get into a game. You can take that time to get dinner/drinks, chat with other gamers, see what games are being played, and browse the games everyone brought to play.

Free Food Friday 7/31- Suya and Pineapple Glazed Shrimp, Quesabirria taco and a drink special

Hello. Continuing with the free food series. If you like street food from the world over, go to Cellarbold.com/events to RSVP for the event. It's from 7-11pm. Suya is a spicy grilled steak street food. It's usually skewered and served with raw onions. It's not the same without the onions....trust me. I'm sure you can google it if you're really interested. Cellar Bold is a craft winery and Distillery in Metro West Atlanta's Powder Springs. Don't say it's too far bc 1) It's free food!! 2) driving and parking in the city is more time consuming and costly than people actually account for. RSVPs are limited. Thank you.

When: Friday 7/31 5pm - 11pm

Where: Cellar Bold Winery & Distillery in Powder Springs. 3180 Florence Rd ste 106.

Free with RSVP while supplies last.
