Enough talking about an event that is over a week away, so let’s chat about about our featured events this week:
FEATURED GAMING EVENT OF THE WEEK
Boardgames & Booch at Local Roots Boochyard
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 - 6PM
This a monthly boardgame event at the Local Roots Boochyard in Vista, Ca at 6PM and is hosted by our friends at Let’s Play a Game Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization that brings modern boardgames to underserved communities.
This is a free event and your chance to play some great board games like Hues and Cues, Flip 7, Telestrations, and many more. You’re also welcomed to bring in your own game to share, as an example, last time we attended, we were able to join in on a game of Century Spice Road and the classic Dominion which were both brought by a fellow game enthusiast.
We love the people at Let’s Play A Game Foundation and we’re thrilled that they’ll be providing boardgames for our charity event. Definitely check out their monthly event at Local Roots and enjoy a glass of Kombucha.
