Will be visiting Indonesia... and looking for gaming

I will be visiting Indonesia next March and April. I will live for 3 weeks in Bogor. I was wondering if your gaming group is far from there and if you welcome lost Canadian gamers in your Meet-Ups.

I usually can't live 2 weeks without gaming, so you can imagine 2 months

Terima Kasih banyak

Marc

Most of us live at Jakarta, Bandung, or Surabaya. Will you visit there? Of course we will always welcome our fellow geeks. As long as you are a gamer, we are one nation.

Hello Marc, you are most welcome to join our gaming group.
Our fixed meet up is every Friday starting from 6:00-11:00PM. The meet up place is at:

2C Coffee Club
Bellagio Boutique Mall
Mega Kuningan
Jakarta.

Unfortunately for you to go there you have to commute. It's in South of Jakarta. I think it's around 2-hour drive maximum depending on traffic.

But do come and join us anytime whenever you can.

Ricky.

You are most welcome Marc, always great to have a new gamer joining us..

Btw, what kind of game do you usually play? (just curious)

Btw, I searched your nickname in BGG just now and check your profile, hope you don't mind I add you to my geekbuddy..

I just want to say one thing though: Holy crap you got Dune!!

@madramir
Hi Marc, you are most welcome here, actually the most active gaming group located in Jakarta, but if you can't go there it's ok, i working in Bogor, so may be we can catch up some games

@rbayu
How if we move the meet up event in Jakarta to Bogor? i think it's a good idea

Hi Marc, a great news to have a Canadian gamer on board with us, but march 2009 is still a long way to go man hahaha but do join us when you have time, or maybe we can setup one full day at your place at Bogor ?

Hi Marc, we will be so glad to welcome you in our meet-up.

we have weekly meetup in a small cafe in Mega Kuningan and a monthly midnight gaming in a restaurant in West Jakarta

perhaps we can arrange our midnight gaming session to match your schedule

hi marc,we always welcome anybody to play games....

hi marc, can't wait to have you join us on one of our meet-ups

I agree with Steve! March 2009 is 6 months ahead from now, maybe we can arrange to have a meet-up at Bogor. btw u said that u will stay at Bogor for 3 weeks. what about the rest of your time here in Indonesia? Will you visit Jakarta or Bandung too?

Hi Marc,

Welcome to Indonesia (soon) ... and you also have our nation game "Indonesia" in your collection

Agree with cottonkid to arrange a schedule ... and who knows I can fly from Batam (also part of Indonesia) to Jakarta then go to Bogor ...

Marc, that's probably one of the most important thing that you have to bring here .

welcome marc, Bogor is a nice place, hope you can enjoy your trip and join us here (soon)

After all the companions (minions) said hello, now it's time for one of the founders to welcome you

There always be no problem actually for me to book my schedule even if the meet up needs to be held up in Bogor, one of the member a.k.a Robinhood_01 lives in Cibubur east Jakarta which not very far from Bogor, as long as we plan carefully from now, also i think most of the companions will be more than happy to spare some time to enjoy the first Bogor gaming meet up, just let us know exactly where will you be there!..
and not to forget, there must be enough space for all of us otherwise we need to find another appropriate place to content all of us...
BTW, my nick name in BGG is Bro Dee ( same sounding but different spelling)

Hi Marc,

You'll be very welcome!
Yup, Brodi is right, we could arrange a gaming session in Bogor or in Cibubur (my area-which is not far from Bogor), or if you want to go to Jakarta, of course we can play as usual in Jakarta how many people will be from your group?

Thanks to all for your welcome. Its nice to know that boardgamers are the same all over the world, always ready to welcome new players in the game !

I know its a bit early to plan for March... but eh, I don't want to miss a gaming night

BTW, I just came back from a 3 days boardgame event. 3 days of play, almost no sleep !

Unfortunatly, Dune is quite big to put in my luggage... not sure my wife would agree And my Dune is in french which I guess not much people understand in Jakarta... lol !

I played a 5 hours game of Dune yesterday, great game and still one of my favorite.

Of course I would love to arrange a meet-up in Bogor. I just have no idea where we could have enough place to play.

Unfortunatly, I will only be a day or 2 in Jakarta and just going trough Bandung. Maybe a couple of days in Bali before taking the plane for Kupang NTT. There my chances to find boardgamers will be pretty thin...

Oh that's too bad... for me... Been dying to try that one...

Nevertheless, I'm sure that there will be a lot to play with. I see that you have M44 and you played it quite a lot, don't worry, you'll find a lot of fellow M44 lover here. Kohee (Eric), rbayu (Ricky), deadwood (Reyner), Brodi (Dani), and I are some of those M44 players I talked about. We'll be more than happy to welcome a new challenger..

Ha ha ha ha ...

Damn right y'all!! i have all M44 editions, so it wil be a pleasure to challange an experience M44 gamer.

I play ENVY! Card to you!!!

Oh well. Too bad I live at Surabaya. I plan to move to Jakarta, but it's probably after your visit. But I think there are plenty of geeks here to company you. Although it's kinda pity that you have 2 months in Indonesia but only few days for cities with boardgamers

The only expansion I never played is the Air Pack (the planes). Is it worth a try ?
