After a long week, sometimes one can barely muster up the energy to stay in and play board games. You get endless texts, emails and phone calls reminding you that you should be social, but your idea of a great time is playing a seven-letter word with a Q on a triple-word score square. Tell your friends you can’t join them on whatever physically exhausting outing they have scheduled because you’re needed elsewhere in the city to win a rousing match of Pictionary. The best part? You won’t be lying.
This Saturday at The WindUp Space is the first weekend gathering of the Baltimore Brews and Boardgames. Generally a group that meets Tuesday nights, they decided they needed more time for play and secured a second timeslot at the popular Station North locale. Grab a drink, head to a table, and play from an assortment of provided games. Feel free to bring your own, should you be so inclined. Their game list is extensive and includes classics like decks of cards, Scrabble, Boggle and Bananagrams, but ranges all the way to other games like Fluxx, and Gloom, that I personally have never heard of. There is a ping pong table in the back if physical exertion is more up your alley.
