The Official Subreddit for Jersey City Board Games. Let's Play Games! [](#)

Welcome to /r/JerseyCityBoardGames, an alternative place to post and schedule any local events related to Board Games.

As it turns out, there are a lot of people in our Jersey City community who play board games. Don't be shy!

Community Guidelines

  • Users - Be nice!
  • Event Hosts - If you post an event, make sure that the venue allows it. Also make sure you show up! Update your events if you have to cancel.

General Tips

  • Don't Be Shy! - If you see people with board games, go say hi!
  • Locations - Make sure to specify a location and time! If you are looking to host something at your house, you will probably want to coordinate in PM's instead of posting in a thread.
  • Gaming Weight/Experience - When hosting events, understand that there are people who are on different levels of gaming experience. Make sure to always ask about a person's experience before playing a game.
  • Bringing Games - You won't always get your games to the table. But if you do bring a game, make sure you fully understand the rules as well.
  • House Rules - House rules can be awesome, but make sure to explain to your players that you are using house rules. Some people come to learn rules to their games, and you don't want them teaching others house rules thinking they are the real thing!

 


Is this only for board games?

No, you can post about most things geek related here. Videogame events, LARPing, and RPGs are all fair game!

Can I post looking to play a specific game?

Absolutely. Not everything here has to be an event. Feel free to post a Looking For Group (lfg) post and try and meet people who might want to play a specific game!

Browns trade DE Ogbah to Chiefs for Eric Murray

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey put on his wheeling-and-dealing hat yet again.

The Browns announced Monday afternoon that defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for safety Eric Murray. The Chiefs also announced the transaction.

Ogbah did not report Monday for the start of the Browns' voluntary offseason workout program while the Browns actively pursued a trade partner, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported earlier.

LATEST ANALYSIS ▶ Head coaches offer advice to newbies ▶ First-round trades that should happen ▶ NFC North roster reset ▶ Why Oliver should go top five ▶ Which playoff team is in most trouble? ▶ Top 5 rivalries for 2019 With Ogbah, the Chiefs land an experienced player for a retooled defensive front as the team transitions from a 3-4 base defense to a 4-3 front under new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. In three seasons with the Browns, Ogbah started 40 games and totaled 122 tackles, 12.5 sacks and 29 quarterback hits.

The Chiefs previously signed defensive end Alex Okafor during free agency and the additions of Okafor and Ogbah come after Kansas City parted ways with outside linebackers Justin Houston, who later signed a free-agent deal with the Indianapolis Colts, and Dee Ford, whom the Chiefs traded to the San Francisco 49ers.

Meanwhile, Cleveland gets a player Dorsey knows well. Murray entered the league in 2016 as a fourth-round draft pick with the Chiefs while Dorsey served as the general manager.

The 25-year-old Murray, a converted college cornerback, provides versatility on the back end of coverage and replaces safety Derrick Kindred, who was released earlier Monday.

On his three-year career, Murray has appeared in 45 games with 11 starts, totaling 72 tackles, a sack, an interception and seven passes defensed https://www.duketeamedge.com/Jahlil_Okafor

Selling some board games

Hi! Going through our collection that's becoming too large for our apartment. Selling these games; I can come to you to drop them off within JC.

Mr. Toast Charming & super cute, simple card game. Was only played once. Retails for $15, asking $5.

Nab-It Like a 3-D scrabble, you're building words on a table but also stacking letters. Played a handful of times. Retails for $25, asking $10

Bejeweled Blitz It's Bejeweled Blitz as a board game. Involves stacking tiles, good for kids. Not sure what it retails for, asking $5.

Arkham Horror Adventure board game. Never been opened, still sealed in plastic. Paid $70, asking $40.

Local Jersey City Board Game Designer - Gil Hova / Formal Ferret Games

For people who don't know, we have a designer in our city. Here is a link to his site: http://gil.hova.net/

Some games he has published:

Just figured it would be a nice thing to discuss and/or help people discover if you didn't know already. A lot of people know gil in the board game communities that i take part of, and he even runs his own Con once a year (hovacon).

There might be more designers out there!

Anything coming up in the near future?

Hi!

I'm looking to meet some new people and scratch that board game itch. Are there any Board Game events coming up in the near future? I'm not all that picky as to what the game is, although I have been partial to Settlers of Catan as of late.

I saw a reference to a bi-weekly meetup at Zeppelin Hall. Is that still a thing?

Come Say Hello! (Leave A Comment!). General Calendar, Updates, Board Game Resources, and more!

I just wanted to get a sticky post here since this subreddit can seem empty when it's mostly only used for pushing event dates at the moment.

If you found this subreddit useful at all, please drop a line and say hello!

If you are new to board games, here are some useful resources for you:

Also feel free to post requests to play specific games here. Want someone to teach you a new game? Try posting something and see if someone is willing to do so!

Let's Play: Telestrations: After Dark & Nefarious - September 23th, 7:00PM - Zeppelin Hall

This is an event hosted by the Jersey City Boardgames and Card Games group. (link)

All are welcome to join us at Zeppelin Hall to enjoy food, drink, games and good company. If you want to come, just post here so we can a rough idea of how many people might be coming!


This is a Game Specific Event:

Nefarious: 2-6 Players about Mad Scientist taking over the world.

Nefarious Description:

Nefarious is a quick-playing game in which the players race to build inventions like a freeze ray, cloaking device, or robotic pet before their opponents can do the same. (Interesting side note: Eighteen different artists contributed to the artwork on the different inventions in the game.)

Nefarious is played over several rounds. In each round the players simultaneously choose and reveal one of their actions that will allow them to allocate one of their Minions to an area on their Lair, obtain money, obtain a blueprint for an invention, or build one of their inventions if they have enough money to do so. The minions that you allocate to your Lair can earn you additional income depending on the actions that your neighbors choose. The first player to build 20 or more points worth of Inventions AND have more points than any other player wins.

There is a twist to the game, though – actually, two twists! At the beginning of the game, you randomly draw two Twist cards, which change the environment so that the game plays differently each time. This means that in order to win, the players will have to revise their strategies each time they play Nefarious.

Telestrations: After Dark: 4-8 Players

Telestrations: After Dark Description:

This is an adult version of the award winning Telestrations. Gameplay is the same, but the word content has changed to more adult fare. Some of the word cards now include stuff such as "Anaconda", "Jackhammer", "Doggie Style", and "Human Centipede".

Gateway gaming at the All About Downtown Street Fair! - September 19, 11:00AM - 8:00PM

via Local game designer, Gil Hova, of Formal Ferret Games

I have bought a booth for my game publishing company, Formal Ferret Games, at the All About Downtown Jersey City Street Fair. I'll be showing off Bad Medicine (which should be just unloading from port by then) and The Networks (which will be on Kickstarter then).

My booth will be by an impromptu beer garden, and the organizers want the whole area to be gaming-friendly.
