The mission, if we choose to accept it.

This is a blog about playing games in public in Portland, OR.

I can't take the dreary days anymore, so I am leaving Portland.  But before I do, I've decided to go on a mission that will let me enjoy two of my favorite things about Portland, OR. - The awesomely large amount of game-playing/nerdish/smart/fun people here (aka Meeples)  and the fantastic number of welcoming venues to play games while drinking a pint, or cup, or mason jar of something lovely! (aka Mead).

Well maybe no Mead for me. I'm vegan (8 years vegan, veggie 25+), so I don't drink it, but it sounded good in the title.  But, I do respect my friends' decisions about their own life and eating habits, just like they respect mine.  My goal isn't for this to be a vegan blog, but I will obviously mention things that the whole party attending have talked about.  Please leave any vegan OR meat-eater bashing/judgement/hate comments OUT!   

Lastly - I am also on a mission for the month of May to play 50 different games. Yes, different games, not 50 different games of Set, or No Thanks!  So, the game list is varied this month with some short games mixed in.  I'll keep my list going below and see if I can make it!
