There are a ton of fun games out there and I would love to learn new ones. Everyone is welcome to bring their own games. If you love playing games and laughing and meeting new people this is the group for you.

This group is for people interested in playing... Collectible Trading Card Games like Magic: the Gathering, WoW TCG, Legends of the 5 Rings, etc. Roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, etc. Miniature table top games like Warhammer, Warmachine, etc. This group is run by Lake Geneva Games, and is meant to help coordinate face-to-face gaming so we can enable, empower, and grow the local gaming community.
