Staying in to play board games, though fun, can sometimes feel like a pretty anti-social activity. Sure, you've got your pals with you, but what about the wider world of strangers who share this city?

Well thanks to SF Games, now you can have your game and play it too. This group meets every Friday night to play board and card games with a convivial group of friends and strangers. Each game night draws around 30 people, out of about 200 total group members. Folks of all ages, ethnicities, genders and orientations attend. All that's required is a love of games.
