This program will give families and friends a free fun-filled evening out. Board games are more popular than ever, but it can be daunting to learn all these new games! Each month, participants will be taught how to play a new game and then all sit down to play it together.
This month’s game, “Ticket to Ride,” is a cross-country train adventure in which players collect and play matching train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. There will be a mix of classic and modern board games available to play that all ages can enjoy.
The program is geared for ages 8-years old and up, however, all ages are welcome.
