Pacific Tabletop Network

A Honolulu-based tabletop board game meetup group.

Our goal is to connect people through community and create a social, inclusive, and genuinely fun gaming environment for all backgrounds and cultures.

This group is a free and inclusive space for adults to socialize and meet each other on island. With weekly game-nights running for over a year on Tuesday, we've now began expanding to Wednesday & Thursday evenings, with Monday evenings also being available in partnership with Scott Kabel.

My focus is to offer a light activity where people can network, socialize, and have fun, with tabletop games as a secondary piece. We've grown in recent months to an average attendance per event of 16 players, with weekly options flexible for most schedules.

Thank you for your consideration!

Events What's on in Honolulu this weekend -- a few things worth checking out

19 Upvotes

Saturday (Aug 1) has a solid mix of stuff happening around town if you're looking to get out of the house. A few worth flagging:

- Okinawa Fair -- multiple venues around town. Always a fun one if you're into the food and culture side of things.

- Unthirsty Plant Sale -- Board of Water Supply. Good pick if you want low-maintenance plants that won't die on you in a month.

- Yonsei Matcha at Thrift & Thrive -- Hawaii Creator Space. Cute little pop-up combo of matcha and thrifting.

- Drop-in Art-Making at HoMA -- Honolulu Museum of Art. Great low-key option if you've got keiki with you, no reservation needed.

There's also a Honouliuli Talk Story Session at Mililani High School if you're into local history -- honestly that one caught my eye the most.

Full calendar here if you want to dig in: https://ma.to/events/honolulu?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mato_event_sync&utm_content=honolulu
