Who Are We ???

The Columbus Area Boardgaming Society is a club of boardgamers dedicated to bringing the gamers of Central Ohio together to increase their gaming pleasure. We meet on the odd Fridays of the month and many last Saturdays on the month as well at the MOSSL office on Lakewood Plaza Blvd in Worthington, Columbus Ohio (USA). We currently have OVER 175 paid members.

The games we play (pdf flyer) range from the abstract boardgames, traditional boardgames, the new Eurogames, the historical wargames to the whimsical fast play fun card/board games. Some of us have been gaming for decades, others only for a short time. The majority type of game played are ones called "Euro Games" - these are family strategy games. If you view the website photo section then you have looked at the pictures of us playing games and you have seen the typical games we play. Anyone who loves playing games will love Euro Games ... Many people are not really interested in "playing" games but are more interested in the social aspects in that, that is what they perceive what game playing is about. In other words, Party type games and Trivia Games are more social occasions than game occasions. For us the game play is the focus and the social interaction with our friends is the reward.

CABS also runs its own gaming convention every fall. The Buckeye Game Fest runs annually in late September or early October.

CABS is also active in the gaming community at large with strong participation at several local and national gaming conventions such as ORIGINS, CAPCON, PREZCON, and the World Boardgaming Championships. Over 40 world championships have been won by our members.

If you are new to boardgames or an old hand, you are welcome to join us at our next meeting, our meetings are open to the public and no invitation is needed ...
