Hello! And welcome to the best club on campus. We're free, and there's no commitment required. We meet most Saturdays of the semester from 6-8 pm in PCL rooms 8 and 10, or more recently, on Zoom. Each day that we meet has a theme to promote a select few of the games in our collection, but we always bring the rest of the games that we have to ensure that everyone can find something to play. We gather to relax and have a little fun playing board games. Although our club has nothing to do with why we are going to school, it's always important to relax a little bit to unwind, and maybe make some good friends in the process. We are open to any and everyone, and we hope to see you there!
