There's going to be a free gaming convention on Shrewsbury St. tomorrow!

Submitted by Objective-Tough-7685 t3_yx9264 in WorcesterMA

I've been working with some friends to plan a gaming night at Redemption Rock Brewery on Shrewsbury. We're a group of experienced Game Masters running all kinds of tabletop games and board games, from Dungeons and Dragons to Settlers of Catan. We're hoping to give new players an opportunity to try tabletop gaming, give veteran players a chance to try new games, and make some new friendships between local game nerds.

You can go for a full 3-hour epic adventure, play some shorter one-shots or board games, just sit in on a few games to get a feel for it. The event runs from 6-9, and you can show up for any or all of it. Totally free, just buy beer!

We can take walk-ins, but if you have a specific game in mind we have a sign-up form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMGlbKbRP5Y5P11aeER6ITn7rtUYCoz9rfjd4Hc2O1033tXw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Not available tomorrow but how can I get on a mailing list for this?

Probably the best way is to fill out the form-- you can add any of your interests for next time, and just let us know in the "special requests" section that you can't make it this time but want to get on the mailing list!

Where do ppl park?

Objective-Tough-7685 OP t1_iwo20ll wrote

There's a ton of street parking right out front, or you can use the lot behind the brewery. Head past the entrance and make two lefts. Just be sure not to park in the two lots across the street. Those belong to the neighbors, and they get a bit crazy with the towing.

Settlers of Catan? Is that supposed to be a selling point 😂🤣 sounds like fun anyway though!

Catan is just one of the many games we're planning! We have some hardcore board gamers coming with huge selections of new games as well.

Hope we'll see you there!

Bricks-for-sheep isn't a great game, there's a lot of better designed ones out there...I've got a collection of over 200 games, Catan is annoying and boring compared to most of them. It's also become the butt of a lot of jokes in the board game world...hence my comment being a dig at it. Had this been a post from That's E there would have been a bunch of similar comments, but Catan wouldn't ever get mentioned by that's E folks because they know their audience.

well maybe you're just not playing it right

There's a crapton of games more fun and better designed than Catan...why would I bother playing a game I don't enjoy?

Besides the point, that part of my comment was a joke, it was a dig at something most folks in the board game space would have laughed at with me.

Because OP is providing an open opportunity for anyone interested to join and you're trying to make it about how "cool" you think you are because you own 200 games and think Catan sucks.

Gezzus folks...it was a joke... Y'all are making a mountain out of a molehill... I don't give a rats ass what anyone plays, if they find Catan fun they find it fun, I'm confused but I get confused as to how folks still find monopoly and plenty of other badly designed games fun. Catan's just the butt end of jokes for most of the boardgaming world
