Couch Co-Op - Arcade Side Scrollers 🕹️

Yes, we're still alive! It's been half a year since our last in-person gaming event, and what better way to kick things off again than with some old-fashioned co-op. Games range from 2-player to 6-player, so we can pass around controllers if needed. We won't be finishing all of the games since there are 4 of them. Read more about the games below.

We'll have food and drinks, so feel free to bring something to share with the group.

***Please DM the event host for the address/directions. Space is limited, so please change your RSPV if you cannot make it. Also, in order to purchase the right amount of food, please only RSVP if you are serious about attending.
