Board and Card Games Night Out for Adults
Details
Have a fun night out playing board and card games with our group. Volunteers will host tables featuring a variety of games. No prior knowledge of the games are needed, just your interest in having fun and learning new games. Optionally, you can bring a game you love to teach and play.
The games vary by host but it has ranged from traditional games like Rack-o, to party games to word games, to modern Euro games like Catan and Wingspan. The library also has games you can borrow to play.
While many games have a competitive feel to them, this group strives to be open and friendly. No matter who is winning or losing, we are all here to have fun.
Note that you should aim to arrive close to the start time or even a little early; if you're late the game tables may have formed already and it could be difficult to find a seat.
Featured Game
January's Featured Game will be Cascadia. Cascadia is a puzzly tile-laying and token-drafting game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. In the game, you take turns building out your own terrain area and populating it with wildlife.
Monthly Game Swap
The Elkins Park Library has agreed to hold a monthly game swap with our group. You can bring in any games you don't want to keep and put on the swap table, and take any games from that table. Any games that are left will go into the next Used Book Sale. If they stay after that, they'll be back on the swap table next time we meet.
A donation to the library for any game you take is recommended. Perhaps at least $5/game, at your discretion.
