Board game club. Attracts a certain type (in my experience: bookish, just the right kind of geeky, patient, willing to take things slow). And besides being engaging in their own right, board games 1) force the players into drawn-out interactions, thereby increasing the chance of getting to know your club members; and 2) allow (for the most part) the players to take the experience at their own pace with plenty of breathing room for conversation, study breaks, etc. Also, most board games can be retro-fitted into drinking games, if you're into that sort of thing. Love me some board games.

Good one. I was looking at the clubs' stands this afternoon and after talking to the Outdoors club one of their members invited me to a small board game club. Back home I often play board games with a group of friends, it's almost always a good way to spend time.
