A Little About the Tomfoolery

Board games are better around a real table. Good company helps. So does a well-timed betrayal.

Boardgame Tomfoolery is a Jacksonville-area tabletop gaming group built around a simple idea: make time for good games, bring people together, and collect a few stories worth retelling. Sometimes those stories involve brilliant strategy. Sometimes they involve a spectacularly bad decision on turn two.

What We’re About

Our tables have room for different styles of play. We’re interested in the experience as much as the final score:

• Modern board games, from approachable favorites to deeper strategy
• Cooperative challenges and competitive showdowns
• Deduction, negotiation, clever deals, and questionable alliances
• Learning something new and bringing old favorites back to the table

A Regular Table, Not a Convention

We’re a smaller, organized group. Most gatherings are planned around one table; sometimes two makes more sense. We try to work out attendance and game choices ahead of time so everyone knows what they’re getting into and we spend more time playing than deciding what to play.

Good Table Manners, Terrible In-Game Alliances

You don’t need to know every rule or own a wall of board games. Curiosity, consideration for the other players, and a willingness to follow through on plans matter a lot more. Friendly competition is welcome. Actual table drama is not.

Roll. Play. Scheme. Repeat.
