Finding someone can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and searching for a partner?

​

Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics and try out new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of people, getting a chance to meet some other fun singles. All while in a great restaurant or brewery. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out.

​

Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends.

 

Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great.

 

Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol.
