JulieMemberCome and celebrate Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year at the Friends of Southwest Library’s “Check Your Mate” Board Game Afternoon this Sunday from 1 pm to 4:30 pm.
Not just for chess players, not just for those with mates!
Members of the Friends plan to bring a variety of board games and will be available to assist with learning to play them. (Examples? Scrabble, Catan, Dominion, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Once Upon a Time–if your favorite isn’t listed, send us an email to suggest it, or suggest it on our Facebook Event Wall (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=299883231372), or bring a copy if you have one!)
We have a few games for younger children. Most are for 10-and-up.
Let us know what games you’d like to play, learn, or bring! Drop-ins are welcome, but we can plan better if we know you’re coming! Email us at swt-friends@wlonk.com.

JayDeeParticipantI think the decline of card games and board games are a net loss to society and the people who may have played them.

Sure you can play games on-line, but some of my fondest memories are of playing “Mille-Bourne”, “Diplomacy”, “Risk” or card games like “Zion Check”…I doubt the online version would work the same. Thanks for organizing this.

JulieMemberYou’re welcome! We do have lots of FTF fun; I hope you’ll join us!
I’m not so sure card and board games are on the decline, though–game design has advanced: the new games are maybe even more fun than our old favorites. But they’re still fun, too! “Zion Check”…hmm. I’ll have to look that one up…
