, Scotts Valley Library

Among the games played: Skull brought the bluffing, Nana the memory-and-luck card play, Paper Tales a quick kingdom-building draft, and Great Western Trail (2nd edition) had us driving cattle to Kansas City.

About the group

We're a group of people who like to play board games. We play a wide range, from No Thanks! to Food Chain Magnate. Most often it's light-to-medium games, but heavier stuff hits the table when the right crowd shows up.

The libraries keep a small game collection, and members regularly bring games they're excited to play or teach. Most of us are local to the Santa Cruz area, but anyone is welcome.

Capitola sessions are hosted together with Lancelot's Merry Band of Gamers.
