Turn left and the village hall will be on the right side of the road next to the US Customs building and across the street from the gas station.
Border Board Games (BBG) formed in 2010 and is a small gaming group that meets every 3rd Saturday Evening at the Derby Line Village Hall in Derby Line, VT to socialize and play tabletop games.
BBG was created in an effort to find other people in the Orleans County area who enjoy playing tabletop games as much as we do.
What types of games do we like to play? We mostly play board games but the board games we play are games that people traditionally haven't heard of, such as: Settlers of Catan, Carcasonne, Ticket to Ride, or Dominion. These games are what are known as EuroGames. They all involve strategy and thinking with a little luck thrown in.
We also play other tabletop games. Many of the people who attend BBG play roleplaying games too. These include games like Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu and The Song of Ice and Fire. If you'd like to form a roleplaying group, you are more than welcome to use the village hall as a play space on the same night we play board games (every 3rd Saturday). Or, if we have space, we would love to have new players for our RPG group.
RPG sessions:
There are many RPG players in the NEK with several groups active. Head to the Facebook page and make a post to find a group/game.

Carnage - Vermont's Tabletop Gaming Convention:
Every year - first full weekend of November - Vermont's only tabletop gaming convention held every November, currently being held at Mount Snow. We highly recommend attending Carnage. It is 3 days of gaming and is an awesome place to learn and play games. Carnage has ALL types of tabletop gaming: board games, war games, card games, RPGs, miniatures, LARP, and an annual Diplomacy tournament. There are lots of lodging options but if you want to stay at the hotel where the convention is held, we recommend reserving your room as early as possible.
