Each week, we will play a variety of fun games. Some will be fast-paced, some requiring deeper thought. Some will be hilarious, others strategic. Some will be everyone for themselves, others team versus team. You'll never get bored in this board game group! Before each game, I will explain the rules and give a short tutorial. I will be playing right along with my learners and will be available to offer help when needed. This is a great opportunity to learn social skills, critical thinking skills, strategy, memory skills, teamwork, empathy, sportsmanship and so much more! I will update the schedule monthly, so be sure to check out the listed games for each week. You are welcome to become a weekly regular or to come and go as you choose the games that are right for you. Haven't played many board games before? That's ok! I will help you out! I will even list the complexity and expected duration of each game. We may play some games twice to really get the hang of things. However, games can vary in play time and we may not always get to every single one. Weekly Schedule: Week of March 27-April 2: Monster Factory: Build a better monster one tile at a time.
