Join us for an afternoon of board games featuring an expedition into **The Lost Ruins of Arnak**. Expect to spend about 2 1/2 hours learning and playing your first game. *The teaching game will start at 1:15. New arrivals won't be able to join the game once it's underway, so please plan accordingly.* We'll also have a table set up using the Snake Temple side of the board, for returning explorers who want a new challenge. If a jungle adventure isn't your cup of tea, you're welcome to use our other games or bring your own. If there's a specific game you'd like to play, please mention it in your RSVP. This is a recurring event, held on the 2nd Saturday of each month.

While we do aim to play seriously and challenge ourselves, the focus is more on growth and enjoyment than simply winning at all costs. That’s why the title doesn’t include “competitive” or “social”—we want a healthy mix of both. This is a space where you won’t be judged for making mistakes, but we do expect a mindset geared toward learning and getting better over time. That said, this group isn’t intended for total beginners; a basic understanding of the game is expected so that everyone can contribute to meaningful and engaging matches. The host holds the right to remove you from the game if they believe that you are at a C level. **Skill Level:** 1. **If you want to know your level, please see the link below:** [Smiley Social Volleyball Levels](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PojSi4qdlRsv1msCHhvpQ43iDc4FfzQwpWCc3kafVMY/edit) **YouTube:** The games may be recorded and uploaded to our channel here: Let the host know if you have an issue with this.
