Oakville Gaming Club
Who:
The Oakville Gaming Club is non-profit
organization, part of the OakEdu Learning Centre. We
are a very small group of local board games hobbyists, family oriented. We
welcome all gamers from novice to experienced, but prefer “serious” persons who
intend on staying for years in the neighbourhood. The more, the merrier.
Interacting in the games, making it fun, rewarding, surprising, educational,
challenging, a real experience in itself to wash away sorrows of the day-to-day
life.
What:
Our main goal is to have fun, but with
respect of each other in mind. We play mostly board games and card games
involving family, strategy, memory, management, history, bluff,
math with a French and German touch. Occasionally we organize a LAN party of
videogames of strategy. There is also space available for the heroic-fantasy
role-playing campaign of Ravenloft. We also research and design variants of good games. You are
invited to bring your own games for pick-up play or Game of the Week.

When:
We meet Saturdays at noon and run until
between 6pm and 10pm. Sometimes we meet Sunday or whole days while on holidays.
How:
We promote a positive mental attitude, good
sportsmanship, fair play, flexibility, open minded approach, relax, cool
atmosphere, patience and communication. We provide many precious and rare
games, but also ask that members bring their favourites to share with the
group. You can study the rules during the week and apply them on Saturday with
us. We are always willing to teach and learn new games.
Membership:
Membership is open to everyone more than 7
years old. But you have to be committed and motivated. Membership is free.
Just send an e-mail or phone to identify / present yourself,
to explain your motivation / expectations. Then we meet in a public place to
chat and make sure expectations / objectives are clearly understood.
Access:
To enter, you need to become a member first.
Then to come in, since the access is filtered, just phone before, to warn about
your arrival and to make sure there is somebody to open the door. Please bring
your food / beverage with you to share for others.
Code of conduct:
Please clarify how long you intend on
staying. Some games can not be done within a few
hours. We have a better time when we know ahead of time.
You found it clean on arrival,
please leave it clean when you leave. No littering.
No advertisement, promotion, sales, real
money or anything else than hobby gaming. It's only a hobby, not a commerce, not a business.
No cheating. Cheating is not fair play. Real
gamers accept their defeat and learn from it. The pride of a gamer is to have
all people having fun, giving everybody equal chances to win, by providing
suggestions and advices.
No illegal activity tolerated. No weapon, no
thief, no smoking, no alcohol, no disguise, it's neither a
sport, boxing arena, a show nor a pub. It's a serious gamers meeting.
