Welcome to the Unity Games official webpage! Unity
Games is an open board game discussion forum which
includes members of various game groups in the Eastern
Massachusetts and surrounding areas (parts of RI
The Unity Games Yahoo Group is open - and if you want to see a sample of the type of discussion that takes place feel free to visit the group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Unity_Games In addition, it should be known that some Unity Game
subscribers are members of their own local groups - some
of which are open, and some of which are currently
closed. I'm sure everyone understands After being added to the Unity Games list, giving a short intro about yourself to the group is encouraged and very much appreciated. Something short is fine - describing who you are, general area you live in and the games you like to play.
Enjoy the list! We look forward to hearing from even more local gamers! If you are interested in joining our Unity Games email list, please feel free to sign up below. |
and NH) plus interested individual gamers from the
region. The "Unity Games" list is aimed at discussing
boardgames and boardgame related events in the local
area. The emphasis is on German/Euro/Designer style
boardgames (Settlers of Catan, Acquire, Euphrat &
Tigris, Union Pacific, Carabande, etc) but "classic"
boardgames are discussed and played as well. We also
discuss open game gatherings in the area where you can
find friendly opponents. Although we sometimes refer to
ourselves as "Unity Gamers", the list is not a formal
game group and joining the list does not make you a
member of a formal organization. Unity Games is a forum
and resource which serves a pool of gamers in the area.
The Unity Games forum is coordinated through a free
Yahoo! Groups mailing list. If you wish to form a game
get-together, you can ask for recruits using the list.
Several new semi-regular open game events now take place
and are organized through the Unity Games list. The
discussion is fun and we would love to have you join us
and see just how much gaming goes on right outside your
door!
that
some groups, by necessity, are closed - Unity Games does
not attempt to remove the identities of the individual
game groups, but simply gives us a wider base of
like-minded gamers in the region. There have been
numerous open events and regular gaming in the UG list's
history so there should be plenty of opportunity for
gaming - and you can always use the list to start some
gaming in your area. I also see no reason why people
cannot post for-sale or for-trade messages as well.
Sometimes it is easier to sell something to a local -
saves shipping, payment hassles, etc. We currently do not
allow auctions on this forum. The list is moderated - but
with free and open postings by any member. Should any
discussion get badly off topic or out of hand, we reserve
the right to warn and possibly suspend or ban existing
members of the list. This keeps the forum focused on
local game related material. If you have a potential
member you would like to invite, just ask me 
After joining, be sure to check out
the "Files" section from the Unity Games site above to
see some pictures of our Unity Gamers in action! Also
check out the links on the left-side of this page for
pics and info about our big Unity Games events. This
list should be a resource - to keep interested people in
the area informed of the various open gaming efforts and
to discuss boardgaming in general. Please be aware that
the Unity Games list can generate quite a bit of email
traffic. In its first month, there was an average of 13
emails per day - about 400 for the entire month of July.
You can switch to Digest mode (where you only receive 1
or 2 emails containing a digest of the posts for each
day) or can view by Web browser. These options can be set
