Startups are games. This newsletter is about empowering brains (with startup game theory 🧮), hearts (with community & wins 🫶), and your network (with highly curated tech games filtered for your new big-brain founder & investor friends 👾).

Today: 👾 incoming underground games for the next few weeks across NYC, London, Berlin, and all around the world.

Hey, Remy here! Welcome to our 83 new friends 👋🏼

That’s why, every week, all around the world, our community gathers around tables — poker hands, Catan boards, chess matches — to mingle together, relax & meet new sharp allies. 😎

No name tags. No forced networking or sales pitches. Just laughter & connection with high-signal startup founders, operators, and investors.

Below are the incoming games over the next 3 weeks: join us! 👇👇👇

🫂 We’re putting an official Techgames WhatsApp Community together

We want this community to be one of the highest-ROI systems in your life.

Not just with better quality games, higher quality crowds, but also infrastructure, discounts, and tools to support founders at early or growth stage, insane operators who’re looking for a job, and investors to quickly deploy their capital within the insane people who come.

👾 Official Underground Techgames (20th November-22th November)

(🇬🇧 NYC) 25th November - Tech Poker Cash Game: Thanksgiving Edition

Is there any better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than giving money to smart startup friends at a poker table? Of course not. Hosted by our very own Ben & George!

(🇩🇪 Berlin) 25th November - Tech Catan Tournament

Catan in Berlin is like a selective fever in the startup ecosystem—the word is spreading and everybody is feeling the itch. This edition is one of the biggest so far in Berlin. If you're around, join!

(🌍 Online) 30th November - Tech Chess Tournament on official Techgames Discord

This is an experimental online event on the Discord—the only place where you can meet people from SF, London, Berlin, Paris, and Zürich without having to apply for a visa.

(🇬🇧 London) 2nd December - Techgames’ Christmas Family Dinner

We’ve played around many tables, but there’s one we haven’t met yet this year—a feast table. Celebrate 2025 with all of the TechGames & friends.

(🇬🇧 London) 5th December - The London Tech Catan Tournament #6

Any end-of-the-year family schedule involves some board games, and this won't be an exception. Join us for a tech Catan tournament, cohosted with our friends from Deel & Sequel!
