Welcome, star travelers to our humble spaceport.
The Scavenger’s Outpost provides an intergalactic, welcoming play space for the board game community. We especially welcome femme, queer, and non-white players who are often not prioritized in traditional gaming spaces. Our goal is to create a space where these communities have a safe space for entertainment, relaxation, and building community.
CORE VALUES
PLAY TOGETHER, PLAY FAIR
Humans are social creatures, we need spaces to gather and spend time together. While friendly competition is enjoyable, at the end of the day the goal is to enjoy each other’s company, not win at all costs.
EVERYONE IS VALID
Whether a veteran board gamer or a brand new convert, everyone is welcome and encouraged to play. We aim to create a space where people and communities who have historically not been prioritized in gaming spaces feel they can enter and linger at leisure. No mean people allowed.
REST AND FUN ARE ESSENTIAL TO A BALANCED LIFE
In a world where grind culture and career goals are often prioritized to the detriment of other aspects of life, we want to create a space that reminds people to connect with fellow humans and aliens alike. Whether from this planet or the next, we all need to have fun in order to foster creativity and happiness!
