ClanGuide is an independent directory and playbook for board game clubs, card collecting circles and strategy game societies. We collect real organizing lessons from clan leaders so new groups don't have to start from zero.
ClanGuide started as a shared notes document between a handful of local game night organizers who kept running into the same questions: how do you keep a group active past the first few sessions, how do you welcome new players without alienating the regulars, and how do you split the workload so one person doesn't burn out.
We are not a game publisher, a retailer, or a tournament operator. ClanGuide is a directory and a knowledge base — every listing and every guide on this site comes from clan organizers describing what actually worked for their group.
A growing list of board game, card collecting and strategy clans organized by city and by game type.
Practical notes on scheduling, difficulty balancing and building a core organizing team, written by people who run clans.
ClanGuide is reader-supported and not affiliated with any single publisher, venue, or platform.
