Uptown NYC Board Gamers welcomes players at every skill level, while asking the host to lead the storytelling. The listing also outlines how to ask about that role and sets clear expectations for how the group treats one another.

Every Friday, 6:00–9:00 p.m. The listing says attendance is capped at 40, but that anyone may come after 7:30 p.m. because The Hugh will be emptier. No season end date is stated.
At Uptown NYC Board Gamers’ Blood on the Clocktower night, the distinction between playing and storytelling is explicit: players of all skill levels are welcome, but the host should guide the story.
Blood on the Clocktower is one gathering from Uptown NYC Board Gamers, a group that meets regularly in Uptown Manhattan for board and tabletop games. The group’s broader interests range from Carcassonne to Through the Ages, and its invitation extends to people new to tabletop gaming as well as experienced players.
That background offers context for the event’s welcome to players across skill levels. The specific listing does not say whether a rules explanation or teaching session will be provided.

The group describes its gatherings as social and friendly, and sets boundaries against discriminatory language or behavior, including racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. Bullying or disparaging hosts and guests is also not acceptable. The group is not intended for political debate or dating.
Trash talk is conditional: players should know whether their opponents are comfortable with it. The guidance also recognizes that people may make mistakes and says an apology can help after causing offense.
