July events and OBG's International Tabletop Day

🎉 OBG’s International Tabletop Day Celebration brought together 80+ gamers for an epic afternoon of dice rolls, card shuffles, and tabletop triumphs. From Moon Colony Bloodbath with Dominion designer (and Boardgame Geek Hall of Famer) Donald X. to defusing bombs in Bomb Busters, OBG members and newcomers packed the Hillside Club with new favorites, cult classics, and great company.

🙏 Huge thanks to our designers and GMs for making it all possible. And to everyone who played, laughed, and shared their love of games — you made the day magical.

Here’s to more moments like this 🎲💥

From classics like Tichu to modern mind-benders like Trickarus, Yokai Septet, and Innovation, we’ll be diving into clever cardplay. Just don’t get caught holding the wrong card at the wrong time!

🎲 July 13 (Sunday from noon to 6pm) – Power Struggles & Shifting Borders: Area control @ Oakland United Beerworks
Stake your claim, form fragile alliances, and dominate the map! Join us for a night of area control games where every move can tip the balance.

Titles also include Tigris and Euphrates and Blood Rage.

📜 July 20 (Sunday from noon to 6pm) – T-Game Takeover: Tascini and Luciani euro games @ Oakland United Beerworks

🐾 July 27 (Sunday from noon to 6pm)  – Cats vs. Dogs (But Mostly Cuteness) @ Original Pattern Brewing

Maybe you’ll lead your pack in Dog Park or relive neighborhood childhoods (and pup ownership) in Fort. Whether you’re Team Cat or Team Dog, there’s a game—and a tail—for everyone. Come play, stay, and unleash some fun!
