Messen Community Events
Mark your calendars! Here’s what we know is happening in the next several months:
Monthly Messen: June (yes!)
Mark your calendar for the next monthly gathering for Monthly Messen & Potluck at Tom & Sarah’s on Saturday, June 20. RSVP please.
Messen Community Board Game Yard Sale & BBQ potluck - Saturday, July 18
Bring your games to sell, your acquisition quest list, a tasty plate, and your appetite! Messen Community members will gather to buy and sell games, share in a potluck lunch, and perhaps play a game or two on Saturday, July 18, from 11 am - 3 pm.
Selling games? Bring a potluck dish and table/shelf/something to display your games on. Mark the games with the prices, name, and how people can pay (PayPal, Venmo, etc. [QR codes make it easy!]). Then hang out, enjoy lunch, and have fun with the Messen community. Bonus points if you bring a chair or two, if you can.
On a quest to acquire games? Bring a potluck dish, a chair or two if you can, and your list! Enjoy lunch and an afternoon of perusing the game sale tables while hanging out with your soon-to-be, new-to-you Messen friends.
Additional details will be shared in the Messen Community Discord (look for Live Events). Mark Saturday, July 18, from 11 am-3 pm on your calendar. Setup likely to start around 10am.
Partiful invitation - RSVP not required
PS - Several of the games from Spiel 2025 will be available for sale at the event!
