Tuesday, December 17 | 6 P.M. | Variable Player Powers – Adult Game Night (Ages 16+)
Get your game face on and enjoy modern board games at the library! This month, we are featuring Citadels, a game where players take on new roles each round to help them acquire gold and build the largest citadel in the shortest amount of time. A major mechanic of this game is its variable player powers which enable players to play a different character (with their special abilities) each round. Vast the Crystal Caverns and Colt Express are other games that feature this game mechanic and will also be available to play. Adult Game Night meets monthly on the third Tuesday of each month.
New to gaming or need something different to play? Be sure to check out the library’s new Modern Board Game collection. Patrons 13 and older can check out up to two games on their library card for two weeks. There is a diverse selection of award-winning games to enjoy!
