GAME NIGHT
Gamers gotta game. Players gotta play. We’re talking world domination, saving the planet from viral outbreaks, solving puzzles crafted by spirits of the dead, and fighting demons in mythical worlds along side your friends.
Bring your friends or make new ones. Bring your favorite board game, or play one of ours. We'll meet from 8pm-11pm (or later if we can get a game of Werewolf going). Have some fun, stay up late and roll the die. Odds are you’ll have a good time.

Dale! A man who knows the best card card game of all time! I grew up in Ohio and Euchre was the only game we played. Every party, every trip, everywhere!
I brought a batch myself (and thanks to driving had a little room):
Strategy: Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Palaces of Cararra
Party: Codenames, Resistance, Linko, Coup
Yeah I know, couldn't help myself.
I'd love to see some large group "quick" games like Uno, but I totally forgot my cards. :smileyangry:
I brought Uno (regular deck) and Martian Dice.
Hello happy campers! I hope everyones day is off to a kumbayawesome start, and that you're ready for an EPIC finish, with Game Night 2016!
We just had a new addition to the fam a few wks ago so my better judgement told me to not leave my wife to take care of 3 young rascals + a newborn, all by her lonesome! I'm so sad to miss out on all the instcon fun this year... especially the 2nd annual #gamenight! Last year's GAME NIGHT (instcon15) was off the charts!
BUT... I was excited to hear @ldoughty and msl_adm's suggestion to have another game night! If I had more time before instcon this year, my plan was to organize a "Virtual Game Night" to run alongside the live Keystone game night! This way Canvas Community members who could not attend the conference (like me this year and @Chris_Hofer last year) could still connect with their Canvas Gamer Comrades and join in the fun!
I also wanted to leave it open so people could connect on Wed and Thu night as well, for more games! So you folks @keystone can meet up somewhere and/or virtually connect with the rest of us, online. Heck, we can even meet up after instcon! Last year I enjoyed a few games of Carcassonne, Lost Cities, and Ticket to Ride after instcon with several folks I met at Game Night. #kumbayawesomesauce
So I reserved a Game Night Virtual Lounge where we all can connect and find others to play games with! Feel free to jump in the room at any time!
https://chatstep.com/#instcon-gamelounge (pswd: keystone)
↳ Join in from your computer/phone any time after 7pm on Tue, Wed, AND Thu. I'll be there!
↳ Feel free to invite others!
Chatstep makes it easy for us to also create other rooms, on the fly, like if several people want to play a game and chat at the same time (instead of the main lounge) we could easily create a room for it!
I've also created a spreadsheet (thx for the idea @KristinL ) that we can continue to use after instcon, to stay connected for games, games, and more games! Game Night - Gamers Unite!
Here's a few of the games I have on iOS... If you have them too, or don't mind skipping your coffee tomorrow and buying a cheap game instead, then let's play!
And here's a more comprehensive list of games available on the iOS app store: iPad Boardgames | 162 Boardgames on iOS

Thanks for the great idea Jordan! I added my info to the Google Sheet. Looking forward to expanding Game Night's InstructureCon legacy!
Learning Happy Salmon!
Having fun playing Happy Salmon and Jenga!
Game Night seems to be quite the hike from everywhere else.
@bmccoy can't log in and is sad her points and badge might be in jeopardy! The community won't regonize her I'd.. My post with her proxy should count
I'm so sad! Hopefully this will show up!!
Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
Looks good, on my end!!
Wow lots of people here!
Wish I could have made it. After dinner I was so cold I didn't want to step out again. Hope everyone had fun!
Having a great time at Game Night. Good times!
I think this is the largest group of game night at InstructureCon. I had a blast watching. LOL. #instcon
Congratulations Jordan on the newest addition to the family.
Enjoying a great game of Fluxx!
Very Nice! Both great games! They just released Tsuro for iOS. Beautifully done!
I heard rumors we're looking to gather for an unofficial game night wednesday and thursday!
For Wednesday's "Unofficial Game Night #1" it looks like people were thinking of meeting outside the Columbine Ballroom (the room where all keynotes are held). I've also heard some people mention meeting again elsewhere... would love to know what you all are hearing...
I think 8-8:30 might be a good time to start... if we meet at columbine, we might need to relocate.
I hope someone brings CAH or an apples-to-apples like game! (and that there's a nearby bar!)
So much fun! Round 2 tomorrow? Anyone?
Sounds like @ldoughty is coordinating a place. If anyone is down for meeting online as well and playing some games in the cloud, join the Game Lounge tomorrow after 8pm!

@mjennings and I were in there tonight! Would love to connect w/others tomorrow.
TBH, I'm dying to play a game of Carcassonne or TTR with someone!
Thank you so much! We're slowly adjusting!
There's no such thing as too much TTR!
I wouldn't say I'm organizing anything... just heard something and wanted people to know about it early in case it helps!
I don't know where we can actually play... nor do I, myself, have any games here 😞
Hi Lee!
I'm checking with our Events Team to see if we can nail something down. I'll post here if we have an assigned place, otherwise, go rogue!
Did you get your Game Night badge? I didn't see it on my profile this morning.
Just checked your profile, looks like you got it. Please let me know if you don't see your badge. Thanks!
Hi! I don't see my Game Night Badge. I was definitely there. Had a good time playing Avalon. Thanks!
I also don't see my badge--I was thinking it was just taking some extra time...
Ask and ye shall receive! Thanks for adding it!
I don't see my Game Night badge either. I had a great time playing some new games! I think I will be buying Splendor and DixIt! Hoping we can do some more games tonight or tomorrow!!
Does that mean you are a good "liar" Lance?! Or should I say, "bluffer"! 😉
Good game face? Apparently. First time playing and no one guessed I was Merlin. That also meant that Arthur's loyal subjects lost because they didn't catch my hints.
ATTN WEDNESDAY GAME NIGHT IS ON!
meet up at Mountain House (same place as Tuesday) between 8pm-11pm for another round of Splendor, King of Tokyo or whatever!
gamers might mostly be in the bar area because the other rooms will be full of #hacknight hackers
snufer YES! Same place, same time!
If anyone has Exploding Kittens in their phone, local games are super easy to start. IMO, the app is way more fun than the physical game.
Sent from my mobile device. Please excuse any typos.
We had so much fun that we forgot to comment last night but we were there! Can we still get our badges?

Can I get my Game Night Badge for posting while I am here on the 2nd night?
