The Board Room is a great place and offers the chance for drinks and food while playing Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar (or Necromunda or Kill Team or Titanicus or Blood Bowl or whatever you want!). Learn more about it at www.theboardroomva.com. Please sign up in advance for tables using SignUp Genius (https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4DA8A72EA4FA7-board)

GAMES WE PLAY
30K. Club is big into the Horus Heresy. New players always welcome. Usually play Sunday afternoons at the Board Room.
Aeronautica Imperialis. Games are being played at the Board Room on Sundays on an ad hoc basis. Air War Pyrriah friendly tournament is ongoing.
Adeptus Titanicus. Everyone digs giant robots, and Adeptus Titanicus gives you the chance to fight with the biggest in the Grim Dark. The club is assembling their legions and games are being played. No regular gaming days and times have been set yet.
Battletech. Big robot combat from the 80s and 90s returns better than ever.
Blood Bowl/Blitz Bowl. Lots of interest in the club and was played a lot during the pandemic. New editions of both games have been great. Usually played at Board Room on Sundays.
Board Games. We play them. Which ones? Seems like all of them. Check out the Board Games WhatsApp chat to see what people are playing at the moment.
Conquest. Lots of buzz around this rank and flank fantasy game from Para Bellum. If you are interested, join the Conquest WhatsApp Chat to learn more.
Dropzone/Dropfleet Commander Dropfleet is a Battlefleet Gothic style big ship combat game. Dropzone is more akin to Epic. Both have great models and stories. Join the Dropverse chat to learn more. Games played on Sundays at the Board Room on an ad hoc basis.
Gaslands. Several members have started to buy Match Box cars and kit them out for combat. If you are interested in Mad Max meets Running Man mayhem, Gaslands is a great choice (and affordable to get into). Check out the Skirmish Whats App chat to learn more.
Malifaux. Club is gearing up to add Malifaux to its menu of regularly played games. There are lots of opportunities to play, both within the club and with the DC area Malifaux clubs. Check out the Skirmish WhatsApp chat to discuss.
Marvel Crisis Protocol. Many club members are getting in to this game and painting up models. If you are interested in joining, there is a WhatsApp chat for it.
Middle Earth Fantasy Battle. Said to be the best game GW makes. Sure some people disagree, but hard to argue with the enthusiasm and fun being had by the group playing it. Check out the Middle Earth WhatsApp chat if you want to join the fun.
Necromunda. Generally plays on Sundays at Board Room. Club campaign is seeking to start. Gangs are being added to the campaign via Yaktribe. Contact Martin Rauscher on the Whatsup chats for details.
RPGs. All sorts of role playing games are played, from mainstays like D&D and Pathfinder to more niche games like Twilight 2000. Check out the RPG WhatsApp Chat to find a game.
Star Wars. There has been renewed interest in Star Wars: Legion and Star Wars: Imperial Assault. If you are interested in either of this games, there are discussions going on in the club's Legion and Star Wars WhatsApp chats.
Warcry. Usually play Sundays at the Board Room, but can also be played at Victory Comics on Thursday evening.
Warhammer Underworlds. Went somewhat on a hiatus during the pandemic, but sure to be back. Best way to keep abreast is to join the Skirmish WhatsApp chat.
