Queer Geek!

Board Games Oct 2022 Meetup
2022-10-15 13:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Phoenix Comics & Games, 113 Broadway E, Seattle, WA, 98102, United States
This is a chance to meet up for some LGBTQ-flavored (allies also welcome) gaming and socializing. Some things to be aware of (these are store policies):

You must be prepared to show proof of vaccination. A photo on your phone (or similar) is sufficient.
Masks are required (N95 rated mask OR double-mask recommended).
Attendance may be capped but that shouldn’t affect us as the cap is pretty high (currently 44, currently slated to be 52 starting April 1st)
While drinks are allowed, food is not allowed.

These are subject to change depending on how things progress, but please respect these policies (or however they are updated before the event) if you attend. Here is more information.
We start at 1 but feel free to drop by when you are able! It’s nothing formal. This meetup happens one Saturday a month. Phoenix has been lovely enough to offer their space for gaming. Their space is on Broadway in Capitol Hill next to Dick’s. The gaming space is in the back of the store.
They have a selection of demo games. I’ll bring some games and definitely bring things you’d like to play (and feel free to mention any requests or games you want to bring).
You are welcome to bring your own (non-alcoholic) drinks, but they do sell (non-alcoholic) drinks there. Of course, since they are offering us their space for free, please consider buying a drink and/or shopping at the store if you can and please treat the staff well.
Feel free to drop by and meet cool people without partaking of games, that’s fine too. If you haven’t played a board game since Sorry and Monopoly, no worries. We’re very friendly to new players. If you’re new to the group, please come say hi and let us know that you’re there for the event, as there are other patrons at the store (I’ll keep an eye out too). If you’ve been coming to the group for a while and play with the same crew each time, try to switch it up sometimes and play games with new folks! Feel free to invite friends and such!

Extra Life Marathon 2022
2022-11-19 10:00 - 2022-11-20 22:00 | Phoenix Comics & Games, 113 Broadway E, Seattle, WA, 98102, United States
Join our team HERE.
The Extra Life Marathon is coming up, where we game for 24 hours to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital. Typically, we are able to raise a few thousand dollars as a team – we’ve started with $3000 goal but can always raise it!
We are back to doing an in-person event! Please note this event replaces our typical monthly board game day at Phoenix in November.
As with our usual Phoenix events, we will follow store policies around vaccinations and masks. At present, you must be prepared to show proof of vaccinations and masks must be worn in the store, and attendance is capped at 32-36. If anything changes closer to the event, we will update this space!
We do this event from 10AM-10PM on Saturday and Sunday. This is very flexible – while we encourage people to attend the whole time, it is on the honor system for team members to fit in their 24 hours and can certainly attend when you are able. If you are not a team member raising money, you are still welcome to join at any time to play games, but we would request you donate to Extra Life (however small the amount) if you are able. Of course, if you want to participate virtually, you are welcome to join our team and do the gaming on your own, but we are thrilled to have an in-person option back this year. There are no regional limitations for participating virtually, and virtual participants can fit in their gaming anytime convenient for them in the calendar year. Let us know if you have any questions and feel free to join the team! (Please note: if you want to join the team, you MUST join via the link above.)
We’ll be providing (and highly recommend wearing) name tag stickers that indicate gender pronouns. We want this to be a comfortable environment for everyone, so please respect people’s listed or stated gender pronouns. Make sure you note our Queer Geek event Code of Conduct which applies for virtual events. Please note this RSVP list will likely not reflect event attendance – many RSVPs come from our event in our Facebook group. Feel free to join that here:

Join our team HERE
The Extra Life Marathon is coming up, where we game for 24 hours to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital. We’ve started with a $3000 goal but can always raise it!
Please note this event replaces our typical monthly board game day at Phoenix in November.
Currently, Phoenix is no longer requiring masks or vaccination in the store (though masks are still encouraged if you want to wear them, and we’d prefer our participants be vaccinated). The store allows food and (non-alcoholic) drinks again. If you require accommodation for health reasons, please let us know ahead of time, and we can try to work something out.
We do this event from 10 AM-10 PM on Saturday and Sunday – we do not do 24 hours all at once. This is very flexible – while we encourage people to attend the whole time who want to, it is on the honor system for team members to fit in their 24 hours and can certainly attend when you are able.
If you are not a team member raising money, you are still welcome to join at any time to play games, but we would request you donate to Extra Life (however small the amount) if you are able. Of course, if you want to participate virtually, you are welcome to join our team and do the gaming on your own. There are no regional limitations for participating virtually, and virtual participants can fit in their gaming anytime convenient for them in the calendar year. But of course, we encourage folks to join us in person!
Let us know if you have any questions and feel free to join the team! (Please note: if you want to join the team, you MUST join via the link above.)
We’ll be providing (and highly recommend wearing) nametag stickers that indicate gender pronouns. We want this to be a comfortable environment for everyone, so please respect people’s listed or stated gender pronouns.
Please note there will also be a signing in the store with queer comics writer Sina Grace from 1-4 PM on Saturday (feel free to bring or buy books to sign for them, though it’s not part of this event).
