Looking for people who actually want to play the heavy games? 👀

Join us for Chonky Game Day on August 29th from 1–5 PM as we crack open the big boxes and dive into The Gallerist!

This month we'll be playing The Gallerist, responsible for developing the next generation of trend-setting and evocative artists. This game is best suited for players interested in longer, more strategic tabletop experiences and will be fully set up before attendees arrive so you can jump right into learning and playing.

The Gallerist is a heavy, highly strategic worker-placement board game with stunning production, an elegant and streamlined core loop, and deeply intricate scoring puzzles. Want to know more about this game beforehand? Check it out here:

What is Chonky Game Day? 

Chonky Game Day is our new teach-and-play series focused on bigger, deeper board games that are hard to get to the table. Check out our other community events here: Upcoming Community Events

Who is this game day for?

Maybe your usual group hears “4-hour euro” and suddenly has “other plans.” Maybe you own a game with a 40-page rulebook and nobody brave enough to learn it with you. Maybe you just want fellow cardboard gremlins who think “complexity rating” is a challenge, not a warning.

Good news: we got you.

Due to the complexity and length of the featured games, Chonky Game Day is designed for older teens and adults.

What will we be doing?

We’ll be teaching The Gallerist,  and spending the afternoon making questionable strategic decisions together. Bring your gamer brain. We’ll handle the rest.

Do I need to know how to play this game beforehand?

No! We'll set up and teach the game to you. 

Is there a cost?

Yes, it is $5 per person.

Need more gaming?

Well then stick around after Chonky Game DAY for Cozy Game Night! After The Gallerist we'll be setting up for our Cozy Game Night celebrating Vintage Card Games! Focused on lighter games, this Cozy Game Night will highlight the classic card games played by the Rules According to Hoyle.
