Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

7% seems very low. In my local group I'd be surprised if it's less than 20% :D ASD: The ininity symbol in an orangered/white color

It's 100% if you have ASD and play solo board games.

Possibly selection bias? Those attending open game groups are more likely to be the ones who don't have a closed personal group to play with, and ASD folks are more likely to be in that situation.
