Saturday Strategy & Euro Boardgames Meetup Group

I had a tremndously good time last Saturday with the Saturday Strategy & Euro Boardgames Meetup Group which gathers on the north side of Chicago at Mystic Celt, a restaurant and bar with an excellent meeting space.  I learned how to play Kingdom Builder from Queen Games and also played a round of Stone Age which I had played before though quite some time ago.  Great fun on both counts!  There were about fifty people in attendance but there's plenty of room for more and it's a very friendly gathering with plenty of people willing to teach new players and integrate boardgamers of all stripes into their games.
