If you enjoy boardgames and meeting new people you should check out this event hosted by the Alexandria Fun with Friends Group.
This group enjoys playing "Eurogames". Eurogames are games that emphasize strategy, downplay luck, lean towards economic (trading and building) rather than military themes, and have attractive physical components.
Newcomers are welcomed because these games often have few rules and are easy to learn. The organizer warns that some of these games are long and complex but they don't often play those games. They are called "Eurogames" because this fad of games originated in Europe with games like Settlers of Catan. Most of these games were invented in the last 25 years, but if you liked Life, Clue, Risk and Monopoly as a child, you will probably like Eurogames as an adult.
This event is at a private residence in West Springfield on Oct. 17 from noon to 11 p.m. You may bring food to share or bring money for ordering pizza. or Chinese. We will have some snacks and drinks available. RSVP and directions are found at the Alexandria Fun with Friends Group.
