About

Modern board games have evolved far beyond Monopoly and Scrabble. Today there are thousands of engaging games that encourage teamwork, strategy, creativity, communication, and laughter for every age and experience level. Our motto at the Board Game Catalyst is "There's a board game for everyone!"

Our mission is in our name and modern board and card games are our focus. Whether they be casual party games or complex strategy games, we introduce you and your group to games you'll love but may not know existed.

The Board Game Catalyst brings a carefully curated selection of games directly to your organization. Every event is customized to your group, whether you're looking for a screen-free social activity, a team-building experience, or an ongoing game night. If your group is looking to build connection through modern board games, or just curious about what the hobby has to offer, we're here to make it happen.

We handle everything, from selecting the right games and bringing the materials to teaching the rules so participants can focus on having fun. We strive to create a memorable experience by making your gaming event stress-free. No previous gaming experience is required.

Testimonials

"We had a great time. Our regular mahjong group wanted to try some games we saw being played at our library. The games were more complicated than what our group is used to, but Alex was so patient in his teaching approach. Now we play Sushi Go, Kingdomino, and Splendor weekly!"

— Carol (MCPL Board Game Learn & Play)

"Want to say that it was given 5 stars from our kid. As a parent, we loved it because it was a program for an age group that isn't always addressed - not yet teens but don't want to mix with "little kids" - they do need to be engaged and board games are perfect and they are able to handle more strategic and thoughtful games."

— Amy M. (MCPS Teen Game Night)

"We're always looking for new engaging activities for our campers. Alex arrived a dozen games tailored to the age group and after some quick rules explanation, this kids were having a blast."

— Jim B. (MCPS Summer Camp)

"Alex volunteered to host several games for our teens over winter break. The kids played several party games none of us even knew existed. They had a great time and we'll definitely be bringing him back for more."

— Gabe G. (New Hope Integrated Behavioral Health Care)
