Our Why

Why We Exist.

Human connection is essential to well-being.

In a time when we are more digitally plugged in than ever before, yet so many feel disconnected, we believe in the power of play to create those meaningful connections that every person deserves.

We believe games provide spaces where people can rediscover the joy of belonging that reduces the discouragement that is felt by so many today.

When we play together, we create shared moments and the kind of interaction that can transform isolation into togetherness.

We’re here to gather people back to the table, where connection is not just possible, but also the opportunity to build the lasting bonds that can strengthen the fabric of our communities.

DID YOU KNOW?

A 2023 U.S. Surgeon General advisory identified that loneliness and social isolation are public health concerns. Namely, it identified that…

  • Loneliness can occur at any age, in any community, and affects people across all walks of life.

  • Nearly 50% of U.S. Adults report feeling measurable loneliness.

  • Social isolation is as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

  • Social isolation has been linked to higher risks of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.

Connection matters. That’s why we gather to game & grow.

Our Approach.

Every event, gathering, and initiative is built with one goal in mind: to create moments of meaningful human connection. We don’t just bring people together to play games. We create environments where bonds are strengthened, laughter is shared, and isolation begins to fade.

  • We welcome everyone to the table. Our events are designed to be accessible and welcoming across age, ability, background, and experience. No one should feel like an outsider when the goal is to belong.

  • We focus on games that foster teamwork, communication, and mutual support. The most powerful connections are formed not through competition, but through shared goals and experiences.

  • Connection deepens over time. That’s why we offer recurring events and programs that help participants form relationships that grow week after week, game after game.

  • Connection shouldn’t depend on geography. Our programs include both in-person and online events, ensuring people can participate no matter where they are.

  • Every game we select is intentional. We choose games that spark conversation, invite collaboration, and open the door to moments of joy and discovery.

Our Impact.

Playing together changes the game.

Tabletop games may seem simple, but their impact is powerful. Sitting around a table, people listen more closely. They laugh more freely. They share, collaborate, and grow together.

At g3 Games, we don’t see play as a distraction from life. We see it as a pathway back into it.

Every card drawn, every piece moved, and every turn taken is a step toward connection. For many, it’s the first in a long time. And for some, it’s the first that really feels like home.
