Hey everyone,

I’ve been hosting events in Gurgaon for a while now (through my venture Page&Rest), and I’ve noticed a pattern: it’s hard to form genuine friendships when everyone has a ticket price hanging over their head. True community shouldn't feel like a transaction.

I want to strip away the "commercial" feel and start a club where you show up just because you love the game, not because you’ve paid for a seat.

The Essentials:

  • The Time: 9 PM – 11 PM (After-hours chill).
  • The Space: My place in a gated society, or we can do it in any cafe too (Safety first: verification/profiles shared upfront).

I'm taking care of the logistics and coordination. All I need from you is your presence and a good attitude.

Let’s build a space where people come just because they love the hobby or want to try it out.

Hey all,

In the past few months, I interacted with lots of Gurgaon folks thanks to my venture (Page&Rest) through our paid events (board & card games, art & craft, books, etc.). Talking with all of you helped us to figure out one thing that is lacking here, which is a genuine club for people who love their respective hobbies or want to try them out. I want to fill that gap, starting with Board & Card games.

Currently, there are multiple options for people who are willing to pay (misfits, ATF, even my own startup). But there is a lack of a place where people can just come without any strings attached. Hence, I thought to make one. The biggest challenge in forming & running these clubs is the lack of someone who will manage and coordinate things, no longer as I will take care of those things (talking to people, setting a time, fixing a place, etc.).

The idea is simple, as this is a club that won't take any money, we will start hosting at my own place & later we can think of a neutral space as the community grows. Don't worry, proper verification is done, and you will also see my and my partner's profiles before coming here. Also, as it will be in a gated society, security will literally be a click away.

Also, no promises of food & drinks (besides cold water, of course), but the members are free to order or bring anything they want to (just keep in mind that I personally won't take charge of splitting the bill). Reading this may feel weird, but yeah, just wanted to keep things real & transparent from day 1.

Regarding timing, currently the timing will be from 10 pm-12 am, as we have paid events before that, but yeah, as the community grows and evolves, the timing can be decided by various sub-groups that will form for various events.

Just let me know if you need any other details, and also comment below or DM me for further details.
