Games Night

Game Night is every Wednesday 6-9pm, but the focus alternates between board/card games and Dungeons & Dragons. New people are always welcome to all our Game Nights!

For board/card games, you can bring games from home, or browse our selection here in the store! We’ve played everything from classics like Scrabble and Clue, to more current games such as Wingspan and Lanterns: The Harvest Festival. There's usually more than one game going at a time, depending on the number of people attending. There's no signup required, just come and join the fun!

Dungeons & Dragons has been going strong for over a year now! There are multiple tables each night we meet, with one or two ongoing campaigns, and a one-shot for folks new to the game or just wanting to drop in. We also sometimes try out different RPG systems. You're welcome to just drop in, but you can also email us and we'll forward your information to one of the DMs. They can give you more information and the Discord info, if you'd like to join the group there.

(Basic D&D system information: The group generally uses 5e rules. You can build/create your own character sheet (no higher than level 5, and level 1 is good for starting out), or use a pre-built character that we have here at the bookstore. We have pencils, dice, paper, and minis to borrow, but you're also welcome to bring your own from home.)
