riends more than twice a year, Atomic Squash was formed. Since conception Atomic Squash has been open to anyone willing to come out and play a game. Still local in concentration Atomic Squash now has friends all over North America. Play a game with us and whether you like it or not you are a member. Board Games
Our primary focus is on American and European style Board Games. On most Mondays nights we meet at a local game store named Otherside Games in Edwardsville Illinois. Here we play and teach games like Settlers of Catan, Carcasonne, La Havre, Dominion, or whatever new game that becomes available. We start at 6pm and play games until Midnight. These events are always open to the public and are free. Board Game Library
Atomic Squash currently has a traveling board game library with close to 60 titles. These titles support 5 area conventions, Atomic Squash weekly board game days, the Metro East Meetup Board game events, and Various other Game Days and Events. We try to make these games available to as many gamers as possible during the year. We are always taking donations to the Atomic Squash board game library. Interactives(LARPS)
In addition to our weekly Monday meetings we have written and ran original games for local conventions and GenCon. These have mostly been based on the Spycraft and Kobolds at my Baby game themes. RPG's
