I'd love to have one as well! Can't say whether it's popular because we only accepted about 20 regular members and we didn't have to advertise the club to find them as it's something some students asked for. We have one big group of 13/14 years old who play their own D&D game, and other games occasionally too, and two groups of 10/11 years old we play lots of different games with, some they know, some they don't (so far, Ticket to Ride, Splendor, Takenoko, Black Fleet, and other "modern" games). The school is located in a pretty privileged area (with lots of scientists and engineers and other 'intellectual/academic' folk-types) so some kids are used to playing board games. Also I think Stranger Things, which lots of older teens love, kind of made playing games seem cooler ;)
