How to finding local players

[Phishn4dmb]

Hey all:

I love this game as you all do, but i would like to play it more in person. I have the Big box 3 and live in Down Town Long Beach, CA and was wondering if any of you could direct me to where to find, meet and play with people.

Kind of a weird question but any help is appreciated..

Thanks

Steve

Welcome to the forum.  It's funny you mention this because we have been discussing a mapping application for members the site.

It's hit or miss finding someone here due to our relatively small number of active members.  I recommend starting with Board Game Geek.  You can search for members by location.  THIS link has shows all the active members from Long Beach.  I'd start there and check a few of them to see who might have Carcassonne listed in their game library and then perhaps message a few of them to see if they'd be interested in, or could point you toward a group. 

You could also search for game groups in your region at THIS link.

I converted all my friends into gamers.

I have the same thing as Tobias. You can also attend to game cons, but it depends wherw you are living. In my are there are 3 game con every years. And with some of people from cons I play occasionally. Also I had organise (half year ago) game in one of local bars. We played 3 games (basic game + 2 exps). People were joining with every game. Nice thing bit I didn't have extra games to run couple of tables. Maybe I will organise something similiar in next few months. Don't know yet.

I occasionally see Meetup.com gaming get togethers. You could try organizing one yourself

How about a PINNED thread on this site where players could divulge there location in this wished? The first post in the thread could be updated to contain a directory of players that are open/willing to meet others. If there is interest, I will set it up and humbly ask one of the admins to PIN the thread.

Not sure of their online tools but could also see if there's a meetup tool we can embed something like this into a post:
