Ideally something you can do with the same people every week so you get to know each other.

Many have card games too. My local game store has both open Pokemon TCG and Magic free play nights weekly, and tournaments occasionally. They also gave me a lot of free cards and helped me in improving my deck. And this wasn’t only the employees, but other players.

They also have open DnD games they run twice a week. They give you a character sheet and help you build yours, then run a game for a couple hours. Not sure, but I bet this is more rare because you have to have a good DM who is willing to help new players, run or sometimes create a campaign, and who knows how to help players get to the end when time is limited. (DnD people don’t roast me if I’m wrong, I’m not a frequent player.)
