- Grab your bike and your walkie-talkie, put your favorite tape in your Walkman, and join in this game of misfits pre-teens, big adventures, and getting home by curfew! I’ll have pre-generated characters to start with, but we’ll do some additional world building and you’ll flesh out your characters to make them truly your own. You can learn more about Kids on Bikes here.
Board & Card Games
Bring your friends and your favorite games, or try out one of the games on our demo shelf!
Our list of demo games is available to view on BoardGameGeek (last updated 3/29/25). We occasionally get in new demos or cycle out old ones, so the list is subject to change.
Usually this will be an open play night for board games, card games, and miniatures games, but occasionally we might run organized play for some of these along with our TTRPGs. Check our game signup form and individual event listings for the up to date list of games being organized by our GMs.
Also check out our monthly Sunday game days hosted by Ventura County Tabletop! Each month, their team of experienced GMs teach a variety of games within that month’s theme. See our events page or our calendar for upcoming dates and more details.
Miniatures games
