 Get ready to play some European board games!
This is an all-day event, so feel free to come for all, most, some, or part of the day.
There will be TONS of board games & card games to choose from - and you're welcome to bring your own. We'll have game captains on hand to lead games, introduce members, and explain rules, so don't worry if you haven't heard any of these games. Part of the fun is learning! Board games are a great "thinking person's relaxation" and offer much funny and odd fodder for conversation.
WHO?
This event is great for newcomers and veterans alike. Meet some new friends, bring a friend or three if you like, and get ready to have some fun! IT'S OKAY TO "JUST SHOW UP"!
TIME?
The event starts at noon and goes til 9 PM. There will be a prize drawing at 5 PM, including brand new games, theater tickets, & more! We'll round out the evening with a large game of Werewolf.
COST?
$10 adults, 50% off for all Supporting Members, $5 for kids 12 and under.
GAMES?
If you like American board games, you will LOVE German games. Just keep an open mind and be ready to have fun!! Euro board games are beautifully designed and have a rich theme. This is what all the other companies have been up to while Parker Brothers has been pumping out themed clones of the same exact real estate trading game for the last 50 years!
