See all- Afternoon Board Gaming at Central Public LibraryCalgary Central Public Library, Calgary, AB
Calgary Public Library features a selection of board and card games available to all visitors. Let's spend part of the afternoon learning a new game you haven't played before! Organizer Brian K has booked a private board room and he will get 3 to 4 games from the collection for people to play. If we get 6 or more attendees, then 2 groups will be created and each group will play different games.
Brian is familiar with a few of the games and can teach them if needed.
Bring your own drinks and snacks (I would recommend you do), but we must follow the library rules and clean up after ourselves. The board room must be left "in the same condition it was found"; bring a drink with a lid, don't bring messy food, and clean up before you leave--the library rules are specific about this.
Game selection will be dependent on library availability.

Board games, and bring your own drinks and snacks. Drinks with lids allowed, non-messy snacks allowed.WHERE:
