Board Game Night, Tuesday evening, November 5th from 6-8 with pizza!

Whether you are new to board games and want to give it a try or have been gaming for some time, Board Game Night at the Waterbury Public Library is a welcoming, inviting space to make new friends or meet-up with old ones.

We play Euro-style which means there is player interaction, but without conflict. One of the social aspects of Euro-style is it's no player elimination. Most of these games are designed to keep all players in the game as long as possible, so it is rare to be certain of victory or defeat until relatively late in the game. Related to no-player-elimination, Eurogame scoring systems are often designed so that hidden scoring or end-of-game bonuses can catapult a player who appears to be in a lagging position at end of play into the lead. It is also low-random, which means there is strategy involved. Often, it is not obvious to other players which strategic path a player is pursuing, so games are competitive to the end and exciting!

Our host Robert Bradford will not be at this month's meeting, so please feel free to bring a favorite game or two. Popular games include Ticket to Ride, Splendor, Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Wingspan, Spirit Island and many, many more.

Hope to see you Tuesday evening for some fun and camaraderie.
