- **Event Name**: Bear Board Game Meetup @ Game Masters PGH ($5/person)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 19 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Mon, 19 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: **NOTICE: THIS IS A PERSONALLY ORGANIZED CASUAL EVENT NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY GROUP, BUSINESS, OR ENTITY, INCLUDING GAME MASTERS**

Come out and enjoy a nice social evening with your fellow Pittsburgh gay bears playing board games. For a $5 table fee per person, you can play any number of games for the entire evening. Bring your own or use games from the MASSIVE library at Game Masters. Play whatever you want, from family classics, to light breezy party games, to heavy crunchy Euro games. General start time is 5pm and will run until the store closes at 9pm, but feel free to show up or take off whenever. 

Please keep these guidelines in mind:

*Respect the space: This is a public space with a variety of people showing up. Keep behavior appropriate for that. Make sure all games, surfaces, and spaces are kept in as good of condition as when they were found.

*Be inclusive: This event is for anyone who identifies with the gay bear community in some way, regardless of age, size, race, gender identity, sexuality, disability or any other background/identifier. Make everyone feel welcome and able to join in on games.

*Don't bring in anything that is sold at the cafe, especially drinks: The Dragon's Roast cafe sells coffee, tea, soda, pastries, and a variety of other drinks and small snacks. You may bring in pizza, baked goods, or other things to share, but please try to support the business by purchasing what you can through the cafe. 

*Be open to trying things: There's a whole world of gaming out there to explore, so be willing to try something new or different. Feel free to stay in your comfort zone and play your favorites, but there's a lot of surprisingly fun games that you probably haven't tried before, many of which are pretty easy to pick up in no time at all. On the flip side, be patient with people who haven't played something before and let people enjoy gaming however they want to enjoy it. 

Also, since this is a few miles outside of the city, feel free to try to coordinate carpools if you think you may struggle to get to the shop, although the 13 and 8 buses do run right by the shop. 

Please try to RSVP on this event page so I can give a heads up to the shop owner if it's going to be a larger group. 

For now, this is a one time event, but if it all goes well and there's decent turnout, we can try to make it happen more regularly.
