Long Beach Geeks

Greetings everyone! This is a very social board game group here to meet new people and try new games. We mostly play party games or those thet involve many players. We are not serious nor competitive in any ways. We are here to learn and have fun!!

Bring your favorite card or board games and play a few games with your fellow geeks! Game player slots are first come, first serve, but don't worry if you're a little late, there will be several board games available to play.
We are open to new places to try. However, we are out to support our local businesses. Currently we are at Hof's Hut.
If you have a request, please feel free to post it here in case a fellow geek happens to have a copy of that game. If you'd like to demo a game, we'd encourage that as well.
We only request if you are bringing a game old or new that you are able to teach it to the group.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
[SIDE NOTE] This venue is indoors. Masks are optional, though if you are experiencing covid-19 symptoms you're encouraged to stay home.

A 2000 HUGO AWARD NOMINEE

Ancient diseases encoded in the DNA of humans wait like sleeping dragons to wake and infect again--or so molecular biologist Kaye Lang believes. And now it looks as if her controversial theory is in fact chilling reality. For Christopher Dicken, a "virus hunter" at the Epidemic Intelligence Service, has pursued an elusive flu-like disease that strikes down expectant mothers and their offspring. Then a major discovery high in the Alps --the preserved bodies of a prehistoric family--reveals a shocking link: something that has slept in our genes for millions of years is waking up.

Now, as the outbreak of this terrifying disease threatens to become a deadly epidemic, Dicken and Lang must race against time to assemble the pieces of a puzzle only they are equipped to solve--an evolutionary puzzle that will determine the future of the human race . . . if a future exists at all.

Ren Faire 2026
Huzzah!
Take a step back in time - the Renaissance Faire!! Jousting, Shopping, Food, and Shakespeare!
The Southern California Renaissance Faire runs every weekend from April 4, 2026 through May 17, 2026.
This year I will be hosting a group on April 26, 2026.
Join us in yesteryear, a time that was simpler, easier, and crazier than we remember. Costumes welcome, but not required. Don’t have a costume? Rent one on site. Lots of Activities and Events for the family! Don’t have a family? Come anyways - lots of events and activities for groups of all ages (even if by yourself).
Even though I am hosting the group, many people have many interests. Closer to the meet date, I will post the meeting schedule and locations. This will allow individuals to decide what they would like to do and/or go to the shows they would like to see. I am generally easy to find, as I wander around the Faire carrying a large pink plastic butterfly on a stick.
Activities include shopping areas, a food court, Ren Quest (for the gamers in the group), kids kingdom (if you choose to bring children), NC-17 stage (no children allowed), pub crawls, family shows (Broon, Clan Tynker), Bawdy shows (Washing Well Wenches), Period Activities (knife throwing, axe throwing, archery, fencing etc.), Rides (human powered, but quite fund!), and Maze, Crafts, and of course Jousting.
Do not forget to purchase your tickets at http://renfair.com/socal/. Warning! Parking is NOT included.
This event will be cross posted a few groups including: Westside Geeks and Nerds, Long Beach Geeks, Single in LA, Culture, Cuisine, Cocktails, Coffee & Convos = Community, 40 plus, Fabulous Fifties, Two Feet Adventures, Make Pour Choices, More To Explore, I just moved to LA, Art!Art!Art!, Fork and Cork, Jewish Meeting place, SSC, I wanted to do that.

I will be carrying a large pink butterfly on a stick. Meet times and locations will be posted closer to the event date. Please note: the weather may be clear, cold, or rainy. This will be rain or shine!
