Game players break out Ticket to Ride at a past GeekWire Game Night.

The nights are getting shorter. The cool autumn air is settling in. And the football season is in mid-stride, though we don’t really want to talk about that.

That means one thing: It’s time for one of our favorite gatherings of the year.

The action will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 17th at the Spitfire bar and grille in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Tickets are available here, and at the bottom of this post.

Dust off some of your favorite board games, and join us a for a night of serious geekdom. Or participate in our fun trivia competition — where close readers of GeekWire will be challenged to a news quiz like no other.

Not into games? No worries. Just come out and join us for some fun conversations, shooting the breeze about your favorite tech topics with the GeekWire team and other geeks.

Catan fanatics at the GeekWire Game Night.

Our presenting sponsor  — the Amazon Web Services Kumo software team— will be buying drinks and food and giving away prizes. We’ll have some cool surprises in store, too.

In the longstanding tradition of GeekWire Game Night, we will once again host a Settlers of Catan tournament, pitting some of the fiercest negotiators of ore, wheat, sheep, brick and wood against one another.

Who will be crowned the geekiest “Lord of Catan?”

We’ve hosted Game Night for the past few years, and we’re always amazed by the number of geeky board game players in Seattle’s tech ranks. In fact, nearly ever week some engineer, developer or designer asks us when Game Night is coming back.

Well, now you’ve got your answer. Come on out on Nov. 17th, and enjoy the fun!

Can’t make game night? Don’t worry. Our epic holiday bash — the GeekWire Gala — is coming up on Dec. 2 (Hint, hint: Early-bird ticket rates end in just 11 days).

Don’t get stuck in the cold. Join us for both events.
