Heavy Board Game Club Constitution

PREMISE

HBC works on the premise that when most people have board game nights, they invite everyone… and then six or more people of varying degrees of interest show up… which leads to you playing only casual party games like Codenames, Resistance, Deception or whatever.

Nothing wrong with that, but… this means heavy board games (weighted 3 or higher) rarely (if ever) get on the table.

So - instead of inviting everyone, HBC does this instead:

One person proposes a game, place and time to the Discord server. Then, on a first come, first serve basis – members commit to the slots available. (Ideally, they watch a walkthrough or read the rules beforehand as well.)

This system has allowed us to get games as extreme as Through the Ages, Dominant Species and Indonesia on the table.

THE RULES

1. THE FIRST RULE:

The first rule of Heavy Club is you don’t talk about Heavy Club.

(Just kidding! If you have a friend who likes doing “competitive project management and accounting” after a long day of work… let us know! We can add them to our secret Discord server.)

2. HOW TO PROPOSE A GAME:

To propose a game, please edit the google sheet at [LINK]

3. HOW TO JOIN A GAME

IMPORTANT: We have kicked flakes out of this group before. Don’t be a flake.

4. THE FIRST & THIRD FRIDAY

We have regular ongoing nights. It’s the first and third Friday of every month. We’ll alternate between Coquitlam & Vancouver, depending on which host is available to host. But just because those exist doesn’t mean you can’t propose other impromptu nights/games. We encourage other nights to be proposed.

5. AVAILABLE VENUES (SO FAR)

6. THE HOTNESS

Here are some games we’ve recently gotten on the table and/or members are asking to play again quite a bit:
