Board. Game. Clubs.
They are f___ing awesome!
can you explain how you participate in these clubs? where I'm from, there are restaurants and coffee shops that offer board games for you and your group, as in, you already know the people you'd be playing with, and they're normally not a place you'd go by yourself, waiting to find someone to play with.
Each area of the world is different.
Where I am, there are 3 or more groups that meet up every 2 weeks. They are informal meetups with a small fee of $5, for anyone to come down and join in playing boardgmes with others. At community centres in different suburbs.
You can pre-arrange to play with friends, or just meet and play with people on the day.
I've made many good friends, found great games, and taught many games to others through these groups.
To find them in your town, search for this:
Boardgame association [your town name]
Casual boardgame night [your town name]
Boardgame meetup [your town name]
If you can't find any meetups using these strings, it may be an opportunity to set up a casual game group in your town.
When I visited Copenhagen I visited a massive board game cafe. 'Bastard Cafe'. Not my video but look how awesome it is:

What a great space! That looks beyond cosy.
