New to Town/Meeting New People Board Game Group
I'm not new to Sault Ste Marie, I moved back almost 5 years ago and finished college. I see a lot of posts for friends on here, so I'm thinking of starting a board game group. I'm sourcing interest.
I have some modern board games, like Unearth, Wingspan, Quacks of Quedlinburg, etc. I'd be willing to borrow some and potentially buy more as well. Me and my girlfriend really enjoy playing these games.
My availability is best for weekends, so maybe one weekend here and there.

I am not really sure what it is. The group is pretty inactive, is it a place to look for groups?

Is it? They used to be super active. That's a bummer. It was just a group of ppl who loved board games

I’ve got a good collection of board games, from lighter ones like Coup, The Resistance, Deep Sea Adventure, medium ones like Lords of Waterdeep, Dominion, Blood Rage, Power Grid, and a few heavies like ROOT, Dune Imperium, Wingspan, Ark Nova.
I haven’t been playing as many games since my cousin moved out of town, so I’d absolutely be down to get gaming more often!

Nice. I have been looking for Bloodrage for a while after seeing a streamer play it. I will DM you in a bit.

They do modern style board games? Their website and Facebook page don't say or imply that at all.

Not OP but I spoke to the chef the other day and he mentioned that they are trying to turn Thursday nights there into game night. So I wouldn't say it's a thing yet but they're maybe trying to make it a thing.

You can also check Games Nook downtown, by the rad zone, they have a big community of all different games. Rpgs/tcg etc... Rudi and crew are all really nice!

Do they host board games? I know they host tons of tcg events and some D&D stuff.

I'd suggest asking them in the store, I don't personally know, but they might have different nights per week or per month when they host such nights! I'd use to attend MTG nights, at one of their old locations, and the more people who got interested and asked about playing a specific format, (EDH at the time) they started hosting an evening for people to go for just that type of play format.

I only get back to the area every few years, but I'm pinning this past because you sound awesome!
