Ann Arbor Gaming Group
They meet twice weekly, in the Ann Arbor area (usually at one of the local coffee houses) for strategy gaming, plus special events. They play a wide variety of games, with particular emphasis on German and Cheaper-style games (we have several companies' worth of playtesters and demo team members participating). Meetings are usually Wednesday or Thursday evenings, with other opportunities as noted. This is not a pay-dues, vote-on-officers, meeting-minutes kind of club; just a group of people who likes games and enjoys the social interaction, the challenge of learning new games, and a relaxing night of friendly gaming! For more info, visit them on Yahoo!
