Board Game Speed Dating at Dorchester Brewing

Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner? Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out. Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends. Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great. Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol. Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover: 1) This event is for men &amp; women, ages 21-29. We also have events for other age groups, an event for gay men and an event for queer women. And we're hoping to add events to serve even more people in the future! Head over to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.quirkevents.com/public-events-boston" target="_blank">www.quirkevents.com/public-events-boston</a>&nbsp;to see what else we have to offer. (If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you'll be able to join our mailing list and get notified about future events.&nbsp;Plus, joining our mailing list gets you 50% off your first ticket purchase!) 2) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 24 hours' notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we're blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable. 3) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven't sold five tickets for each gender, we will cancel the event (and notify you). When we have run this event in the past, tickets have consistently sold very well, so we don't expect this to happen. But we thought we should cover this in case it came up. 4) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can't tell you for sure what we'll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven't-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you'll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round. 5) To stay up to date on everything we have going on here at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/quirkeventshq/?hl=en" target="_blank">here!</a>

BOINGA Game Festival

From the minds at Knight Moves &amp; Quirk Events comes a celebration of all manner of games, from board games to trivia nights to puzzle rooms, and everything in between. We've been given the keys to High Street Place- a giant and wonderful food hall in the heart of Downtown Boston- with one primary directive: Pack it full of as many games as we can. At the heart of our event is our indie board game showcase. We'll have over 20 local designers showing off games they've built for you to try. Hop from table to table, playing games in every stage of production from pen-and-paper prototype to Kickstarter-ready to final products available in retail stores. Surrounding that will be all manner of game programming, including board game tournaments, a trivia night, our battle for rock-paper-scissors global domination, a puzzle hunt running throughout the whole food hall, a puzzle room, a Q&amp;A with local board game designers, and more. For those unfamiliar, <a href="https://www.highstreetplace.com/">High Street Place</a> is a food hall filled with delicious offerings, so you'll be able to enjoy food and drink as you play. In fact, your ticket comes with a $5 food voucher good at any eatery in the building. To stay up to date on this event and all other offerings, check out our <a href="https://www.quirkevents.com/">website</a> or follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/quirkeventshq/?hl=en">here!</a>
