The Spire is a non-profit gaming space where members can play tabletop wargames, RPGs, and card games on club-provided tables and terrain. Members can freely access the space any time during operating hours. Club members host special events and tournaments.
The Spire is located at 265 West 37th street, Unit 306. Walking distance to major subways, Penn Station, and the Path Train. Easy access from Grand Central via the Shuttle.
All net proceeds from membership dues, sales, guest passes, and events go directly back into maintaining and improving the club. Most importantly, The Spire is member-run - members elect officers and all activities in the club are volunteer-driven. All terrain and materials are donated by members or purchased with club proceeds. The Spire is operated by a 501(c)(7) corporation.
Our members are always bringing new games into the space but the most popular games include: Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Kill Team, Blood Bowl, Trench Crusade, and Warhammer: The Old World.
There is also plenty of room for members to host RPGs, board games, and card games such as Magic the Gathering.
There are no limitations on what tabletop games can be played in the space. The Spire has many sets of terrain that work across game systems and the community is always working together to grow and paint the collection. Join the Discord and start looking for a match of your favorite game!
The Spire opened April 1st 2025.
Use of the space; access to tables, terrain, and gaming materials; discounts on merchandise and special events such as tournaments; and the ability to bring guests when the guests purchase a day pass.
Membership is currently capped at 60 members.
Members are selected via lottery. Signing up for the lottery grants one entry and each day pass and event ticket purchased at the club grants another, so those who come out and engage with the community are most likely to be drawn for future memberships.
Access to gaming tables and terrain for the most popular tabletop games. In the first year, The Spire plans to make available storage lockers, a hobby space, a 3D printing area, and host many special events.
John Flores, Nicholas Hill, Charles Iselin, and Josh Scaglione founded The Spire in January of 2025. We’ve been members of the Manhattan gaming scene for several years and run the Uptown Wargaming Discord. In addition to our enthusiasm for tabletop gaming, between the four of us we bring our own professional building management, tech leadership, non-profit, and corporate finance experience to help get The Spire started.
