For some kids, connecting is easier when there's already something to connect over.

Our 3rd–5th grade Tabletop Game Group gives neurodivergent kids a place to spend time with other kids who share their interests, with games providing a natural way to interact, start conversations, and enjoy time together.

We play everything from familiar favorites to bigger strategy games like Wingspan. Kids can bring what they already know, discover something new, and be part of a regular group where they don't have to figure out what to do together first.

No pressure to be the most social kid at the table. No need to already know anyone. Just a place to play, laugh, and connect.

Tuesdays at Zulu's Board Game Cafe in Bothell
Grades 3–5
Fall groups begin September 8

We could call it “practicing flexible thinking when things don’t go according to plan.”

Or we could call it absolutely destroying the Jenga tower.

Both are technically correct.

At Game On Youth, games give kids a reason to talk, negotiate, problem-solve, recover from spectacular failure, and try again without turning any of it into an obvious lesson.

Weekly gaming groups for neurodivergent youth in grades 3–12.

No lectures. No forced icebreakers. Just games, other gamers, and a place to belong.

Sometimes connection looks like a whole table laughing.

Sometimes it looks like two kids hunched over a problem saying, “Wait. I have an idea.”

That's why we use games.

There's already something to talk about. Something to figure out. Something to disagree about. Something ridiculous to laugh about.

Kids don't have to figure out how to start a conversation from nothing.

Game On Youth offers weekly D&D and tabletop gaming groups for neurodivergent youth in grades 3–12 at Zulu’s Board Game Cafe in Bothell.

Teenagers generally aren't looking for an adult to organize some “social interaction” for them.

Fair.

The High School Guild is built differently.

It's a participant-led gaming community for grades 9–12. D&D, tabletop games, and whatever else the group decides deserves a place at the table.

The adults provide the space, games and support. The teens help decide what the group actually becomes.

Because finding your people gets a little easier when you already know you have something in common.

Making friends is easier when nobody tells you to “go make friends.”

Give them a game, something to laugh about, and other kids who speak their language. The rest tends to happen on its own.

Our elementary tabletop group is for grades 3–5 and includes board games, card games, ridiculous decisions, friendly competition, and plenty of opportunities to connect along the way.

School Year groups begin September 7, so don't delay!

Sometimes kids don't need another activity. They need a place where they actually want to connect.

At Game On Youth, games give neurodivergent kids and teens that common ground. They come to play D&D, board games, card games, and other favorites. Along the way, they're communicating, collaborating, problem solving, navigating disagreements, and building relationships.

The social skills are there. They just don't have to feel like the point.

Registration is now open for our fall weekly groups for grades 3–12!

Elementary D&D has just 2 spots remaining, and Middle School D&D is already full with a waitlist open. Tabletop Gaming groups and our new High School Guild are also enrolling now.

If a group is full, please join the waitlist. Openings do happen, and waitlist interest helps us determine when there's enough demand to add another group.
