Game On: Free Board Game Night @ Game Knights Cafe
**The Plan:** We are opening up our board game library for a night of free gaming. No cover charge, no table fees, no entry costs. Whether you are a hardcore strategist or just want a casual round of Uno, the table is yours.

**The Deal:** **Pay for your food, not for the games.** We believe good games deserve good food. Weโll cover the entertainment; you just handle your own dinner or drinks. From quick bites to full meals (and coffee to keep you alert), our kitchen is open to fuel your victory.

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews as the Venice International Film Festival and later at the Toronto Film Festival where it won the International Peopleโs Choice Award! It just received 3 Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor for Lee Byung-hun. It was also selected as the South Korean entry (and likely nominee) for Best International Film at this yearโs Academy Awards! It's been a stellar year for International films! We've already seen superb entries SENTIMENTAL VALUE, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT and THE SECRET AGENT! My spidey senses tell me those three and this Korean entry could be 4 of our 5 Best International Films at this year's Oscars!
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, youโre covered for the night!

Weโll plan for dinner immediately following someplace nearby. The DINNER portion will be confirmed/announced in the next few days.

Board Games at Easton
Join us at Easton Town Center for a casual evening of board gaming. Play from our library or bring one of your favorites to share. We usually bring along Catan, Ticket to Ride, Cascadia, etc...
We'll be set up at the Donatos Pizza Party Room. It was free for us to reserve, but you may want to buy a drink or go in on a pizza.
Why Easton? Although there aren't any board game stores / cafes here, it's a nice area. More importantly, this event coincides with LifeTime Fitness Parent's Night Out, so our kid will get babysat. If you happen to be a member of Lifetime you too can get free babysitting and play some games.
