Board Games + Boba


Details
Welcome to our weekly Friday board game event!
Whether you're new to the hobby or a longtime fan, join us for a night of board games, socializing, and meeting new people! Feel free to bring any board games you have, or join a group and play!
Drop in at any time - it's ok to be late! There are also multiple food and drink options nearby, or you're welcome to bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
PARKING (Free if you stay past 8pm):
Park in the public garage below the Lincoln Square South tower.
You'll need to take a ticket on the way in, but as long as you leave after 8:00 pm, you won't have to pay for parking or do anything with your ticket.
LOCATIONS (All are within Lincoln Square South):
-
Food court area, 2nd floor, just past Nordstrom Rack (Main event location)
-
Capitol One Lounge, 1st floor, under the food court (Closes at 9pm)
-
Capitol One Lounge Patio, 1st floor, under the food court (Stays open past 9pm. Please leave patio tables/chairs orderly and clean!)
WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
-
It's normally pretty busy, so look for other board game players by visiting first the food court then the capitol one lounge area.
-
Because it's hard to tell who is looking to play a game and who is just observing, you'll need to approach tables and introduce yourself and ask to join a game!
-
We normally have signs on some tables to help identify where the games are.
-
We also have a Discord server you can join to chat with us on! Link to Discord
WHILE YOU'RE HERE:
-
Buy something to eat/drink.
-
Be careful not to get food on anyone's games/pieces
-
Respect others personal space
-
Help clean up games when you're done
-
Leave a few minutes between game rounds so players can shuffle in and out.
-
Help new players find a game, or even start one with them!
WAITLIST POLICY:
If the event is full and you sign up, you will be put on the waitlist. If you are on the waitlist it means you are not attending the event. Every time someone cancels their RSVP, you move up 1 spot on the waitlist. If you are 1st on the waitlist and someone cancels, then you will be attending the event. This also means people higher on the waitlist have priority over people lower on the waitlist.
Remember, we're all here to meet new people, play board games and have fun!

Every week on Friday until January 9, 2026
