Does the mere hint of playing a board game conjure up interminable hours waiting for other players to take their turn in Monopoly? Were you never a winner at The Game of Life? If so, take heart! There are far better games to play. In this Nerd Nite gaming extravaganza (yeah, we went there), we’ll explore hobby or Eurogames – games that balance strategy and luck with collaboration and camaraderie. Learn about the rise and extent of Eurogames (From “Candy Land to Chess”), how to pair Eurogames with the appropriate cocktail (Gamers Don’t Let Other Gamers Drink Water), and – if you’ve not yet been eliminated by an exploding kitten – how to win at games (“The Game Whisperer”). Hosted by a gargantuan collaboration including Eric Momsen, Jenni Momsen, Rachel Salter, and Tara Slominski who’ve settled Catan enough times to know the robber will get rolled just as we have the resources to build our first city.
