From game nights, to drop-in Dungeons & Dragons sessions, we always have something on the go:
| Magic: the Gathering - a Saturday drop-in club for tweens & teens |

Get ready for a new club where you can learn about Magic: the Gathering (MTG), a classic card game. We'll provide decks and people to play with - all you have to bring is yourself! We welcome all skill levels, whether you have never heard of MTG, or you've won championship games, all are welcome!
This is a free drop-in program; no registration is required. |
| Mahjong Club |

Whether you're a beginner or already know how to play, an afternoon of socialization and strategy awaits!
Similar to Rummy, Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation and involves a degree of chance. A tile-based game, Mahjong was created in China in the Qing Dynasty and has spread throughout the world since the early twentieth century. The game is proven to keep the mind sharp, producing an increase in cognitive function. This is a free drop-in program. |
