Welcome to our all day Board Game Marathon! If you enjoy games like Wingspan and Azul, you're in the right place! They are a great baseline for the modern strategy games our group gravitates towards.

The Glenbrook Athletic Club located at 937 Hope St, Stamford is a private club for members only, we are renting a room from them. Enter through the door on the left from the main door which should be open.

The event is free to attend, however we do need to pay rent and cover other costs and we rely on attendee donations. We have a suggested donation of $10 per person, we are also selling raffle tickets for $5 each, 5 tickets for $20 and 10 for $35.
