I set up a public game night for a non profit organization. The event space has a bar on one side and Pizza and snacks are available. All ages are welcome as the bar side is segregated from where the gaming area is. We posted it in some FB local groups and I found some local subreddits and discord servers. I even made an Instagram account but it flagged my flyer as spam. It’s a smallish town with about 14k people but near a much bigger college town by about 30 minutes. I’m at a loss as what to do since I’m going to give it a go this week too. We discussed having a vintage video game competition such as an old arcade game. Am I missing something or are game nights just not that popular?

    Two notes that jumped out at me:

    1. I would swap the “Bring your own” and “board/card/video games” text. The latter is very easy to miss, so at a glance the poster makes it look like the event is entirely BYO.
    2. This is a minor nitpick, but if I (a relative board game noob) noticed it then I can guarantee actual board game fans noticed it too: The 3 and 4 shouldn’t both be visible on a d6, because opposite sides of a d6 add up to 7. Meaning if you roll a 3, the 4 is face-down.
