Board Game Club

Purpose and Services

The Board Game Club shall promote public awareness of alternate forms of tabletop, party, role-playing, and digital games, and stimulate student interest in creatively collaborating and meeting new people. A successful Board Game Club should help its members build necessary improvising, collaborating, strategizing, problem solving, planning, and leadership skills.

A tabletop game includes any game that is intended to be played in person on a table; this can include board, card, or world building elements. A party game is a group game that is primarily social, rather than strategy, which helps build community closeness. A role-playing game is a game where the players act and pretend to be a character within the world of the game; these games can involve a physical board and dice, but it is not a requirement for all types of role-playing games. Finally, there are digital forms of these games that are available online, which can be helpful if meeting in person is not possible for certain members.

The Board Game Club intends to teach its members the different aspects of these games, as each category has multiple subcategories. Meeting in person with physical items, or digitally with the correct software and tools, will help members be the most successful in becoming proficient role-players and board gamers.
