A year in and I've enjoyed being out with my Meetup social group -- for the record, they're called the Albany (NY) Young Urban Professionals Group. One of my favorite events is a game night done at least once a month, mostly at an area coffeehouse. I asked the group's organizer if I could bring games of my own, and he said yes I could.

Now, among the games played range from established board games like Scattergories, to seemingly hipster-worthy games like cribbage (which I learned to play earlier this week), to other games like Settlers of Catan and my personal favorite, Cards Against Humanity. I'd bring board games from home, but they wouldn't work out of size and boredom. My feeling is that they'd have games that could easily fit on a table without taking up too much space.

With all that out of the way, any suggestions?

I love Settlers of Catan.

I wish there were a meetup social group for Aspies in the Albany. NY area.

Cribbage is hipster now? It's pretty popular in Michigan, I guess we're more hipster than everyone else.

Maybe hipster wasn't the best word there...
