Board Game Speed Dating for Gay Men at Club Café - Boston

Gay Men Board Game Speed Dating at Club Cafe

Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner?

Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out.

Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends.

Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great.

Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol.

Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover:

1) This is an all-inclusive event for men looking to date other men. Non-binary individuals and anyone else who feels like they would be a good fit are encouraged to attend. If you are a woman looking to date another woman, or if you are looking to date someone of the opposite sex, you can find out more about our other speed dating events at www.quirkevents.com/public-events-boston.

2) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we're blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable.

3) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven't sold seven tickets, we will cancel the event (and notify you). We think this is very unlikely but wanted to include a note about it in case that happened.

4) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can't tell you for sure what we'll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven't-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you'll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round.

5) Desperately wish you could attend, but you have plans on this date or the tickets you want are sold out? E-mail [email protected], and we will add you to our please-notify-me-next-time-you-create-an-event mailing list.
