Welcome to the NY Mostly Go Club! The "Mostly" is there since it's fun to do other things besides Go once in a while. For example, dinner or drinks after a tough tournament, a picnic with Go boards under blooming cherry trees in spring, whatever fun things we can think of. We'd love to meet other people who are interested in the game of igo/weiqi/baduk in the NYC area. Don't know how to play but saw it on some TV show or something and want to see what the game is about? We also host NYAMIGO Beg …

Greetings, and thank you for your interest in Playsmiths. Playsmiths is a group of theatre professionals meeting weekly to develop new plays.  Playwrights bring in pages, actors are cast and cold read the material aloud.  Constructive, respectful feedback is shared.  Our goal is to present first a staged reading, and ultimately a full production of every full length script we develop.

Would you enjoy having a circle of friends that share an interest in cards, possibly unlike your other friends? This group is intended to bring back the simpler times, when a night of cards/cheating/inevitable debauchery could make for a rad time! Please join, it will be good fun! This is specifically to learn and play the card game of hearts. All levels and anyone interested is welcome.  It is easy to learn - and more fun to play with people (if you play on the computer ;.))

After learning the game and playing at the UFT for three years my friend and i decided it was time to make the game more comfortable and personal! Let's play a game or two and discuss all the new and exciting things we are doing or learn some new places to go, people to see!!

THIS MEETUP WAS RECENTLY COVERED IN INC. MAGAZINE I work in the startup/tech world and no one will argue that networking is important. However, I realized that all of the startup meetups fall into one of three categories: 1 - So early in the morning that no one is awake enough to have a stimulating conversation 2 - At a dark bar with a loud DJ making it impossible to actually talk 3 - Being given junk to eat and drink at someone's office. I'd like to take the valuable parts of these meetups but …

Nyeek is a social get together for board game enthusiasts in the New York City area. If that sounds kind of geeky let me assure you that it absolutely is. We play all types of board games (abstract, party, thematic), but we tend to lean towards Euro Games. Games that usually have simple rules, relatively short playing times, and no player elimination, so they’re pretty accessible to newcomers. If you want to know more feel free to check out the (still being written) FAQ, but in a nutshell we're …

Looking for people to play a friendly game of Spades once a month. Will limit it to 12 people and hope to have 3 games going at once. It will be at my place (where I already have a very successful game night meetup) so people can bring some snacks and drinks and we'll just hang out, have some food and play some spades!

We're making a storytelling-driven competitive card game for 3 to 8 players. It's fun for both casual and hardcore gamers! Literally everybody is welcome! There is no real limit on the number of people we can have in our venue and I've yet to meet a single person who didn't enjoy playing this game, so feel free to invite your non-gamer friends. I'll be setting up multiple simultaneous games of 3 to 8 players and playing myself if anyone needs to step out. I'm the lead designer and I'm going to b …

We are a group of men and women with (all too often) hectic and demanding jobs who understand the value and fun that comes with playing Foosball. This is NOT a pretentious or "experts-only" group. Just a group of people who love to play Foosball. We don't care what you do for a living - welcome artists, lawyers, bankers, and convenience store clerks, and we don't care how well you play Foosball - all skill levels welcome. Just bring a good attitude and a love for the game. We play weekly at diff …

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that there are so little opportunities to play soccer in New York. This is a group for anyone who just wants to play some soccer and have some fun and get to know some people while we're at it. It's a great chance to get that cardio workout you've been looking for. I'm hoping to gather people who have basic soccer skills like passing shooting etc as we'll just be playing. I am not a trainer or anything. I just want to play soccer!

Since there is a complete dearth of cricket in Manhattan, let us get a group together and play social/fun cricket in Central Park once the weather gets better. We can meet on the weekends and probably start with duct taped tennis balls and maybe graduate onto the real thing. Group is open to everyone regardless of age, gender, cricket experience and background. If you are looking to learn a new sport, cricket might be a great place to start.

this is an extension of the home game that used to run in my living room. it's a 1/2 NLHE cash game. (for those of you that aren't into the lingo, that's a No-Limit Hold'Em game with $1 small blind, $2 big blind.) stakes are LOW so no one gets hurt real bad. if you're a shark that's looking to make a huge killing playing, this is NOT the game for you. we're just here to relax and have a good time. it's a friendly group of semi-regulars (some of whom i've known for 10+ years) that are just lookin …

Cribbage is for real strategists, people who know how to leverage any hand. You know who you are. Maybe you haven't played in years or perhaps you've never played, but the challenge of the game calls you. There are two parts to a Cribbage game, the first is the "Play" and the second is the "Show." To learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cribbage.
