The Toronto Boardgamers are a volunteer-run community group of friendly folk who have a passion for discovering and playing modern boardgames. We gather at free, non-competitive events in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and stay in touch between events through multiple online platforms.
We treat each other with respect and welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about our hobby. Join us if you love learning new games, are excited to share your enthusiasm about games, and enjoy the social interaction of playing with others.

History
Our group was initially formed on the Meetup site in November 2008 as Toronto Boardgame & Social.
The intention was, and remains, to provide an inclusive and non-judgmental environment for gamers of all experience levels and interests at free events.
In the early years, our calendar was filled with boardgaming events, but also many social events like dinners out, sporting events, live theater and scavenger hunts. After a few years, other social meetup groups were becoming plentiful and we decided to focus on building up the gaming events around the city.
In 2016, we changed the name of the group to the Toronto Boardgamers and our calendar had 6 weekly events spread across the city, 4 monthly events and other ad-hoc events, like arranging shared travel to out-of-town conventions.
