Afternoon of Board Games @ Crowne Plaza, Saddle Brook

Focal Point - LIC

Games we play: party, social deduction, strategy, euro. There's usually plenty of games around, but feel free to bring your own. It's very important to support our hosts in opening up their place for us. We ask you to purchase a beverage from them. They have a great drink selection to choose from. Great food options in the area and that we're allowed to bring in! If you arrive late and games have already begun, the wait for a new game shouldn't be long.
