This week we welcome a new resident, The Brooklyn Strategist, a board- and card-game social club. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, from 3-6 pm, The Commons will become a place to play, learn and think creatively, socialize and strategize against an opponent or with team members. The Brooklyn Strategist focuses entirely on games that require face-to-face interaction. It has a huge inventory of board and card games (including many that are out-of-print) and multiple table sizes to accommodate games for up to 8 players. There are no computer or digital games of any kind.
These afternoon clubs are open to kids (7+ years old), tweens, teens and adults. Individuals, couples and families are welcome. If you want to play a favorite game or learn a new one but don’t have someone to play with, The Brooklyn Strategist will find partners for you to share the experience.
Homemade refreshments (savory, sweet and beverages) with ingredients from local, sustainable farms will be available..
