as a noob to this game. any hints as to a good place to find game would be welcome, or groups of players in the metro that play

if you are in the twin cities area, there a lots of options. as for a regular night . Your Moms Basement in White Bear Lake has monday night xwing every week. We normally have like 4-8 people roughly, sometmes more sometimes less.

You will play anywhere from other noobs to final 4 regional players. SO plenty of learning possibilities.

There also is a couple facebook groups twin city xwing and frozen north gaming, that you can post you are looking for a game, and someone will normally be able to meet up at one of the sites in the cities. FFG is one of the main hang outs, but I know south saint paul game store is getting going, and there are some in the south side of the cities also growing.

The X-Wing Facebook page is pretty lively. There are usually a couple of people looking for games every other day or so.

Where around the metro do you live?

Like LukesFather said, there are several places. On the South Side where I live, a couple of people and I are trying to get something going at Legion games in Burnsville. Every other Thursday (Not this one, but the next) there is a tournament style gathering at Level Up games in (I believe) South St. Paul.

I've yet to make it up to FFG, but I hear good things.

Look for the group on Facebook, and request to join. There's some pretty good information in there too.

thanks for the help

Yep, I run the Twin Cities X-Wing facebook group, it's definitely the hub of activity locally so check it out! Universe Games, FFG Game Center, Level Up, Your Mom's Basement, and Highlander Games all host various X-Wing events. There's a new Air Traffic location opening in Maple Grove that will be running events as well. Pick up play is most common at YMB and FFG, but there's usually people on the group looking for a game with someone. Last Wednesday we had 6 at FFG for a team epic game.
