Board Game Book Club – Side Effects

What can we learn from Games? Let’s get together and share our thoughts no various board game genres, inviting new and fresh perspectives. In this monthly event, we will be picking apart board games to explore them at their core, how they relate to society, and what they mean in our everyday lives. The first hour consists of learning and playing a new game; the second hour consists of a discussion with guided questions on the game just played. Come ready to have deeper conversation.

Bookshelf

New Demo Game

Spots

Dogs have spots. Dice have spots. 

Spots is a game about rolling dice, pushing your luck…and dogs! 

You’ll roll and reroll, trying to place dice on the matching spots on your dogs. You get to laugh at your friends when they take a big risk and bust. And they get to laugh right back at you for doing the same thing.

Spots is simple to learn, but has enough crunch to make every turn full of interesting decisions.

Oasis: New Life on a Distant World

1-5 players, 45-60 minutes, 10+

Welcome to Oasis, a distant exoplanet with a vibrant and diverse biosphere teeming with life. While there is no rain on this planet, each year overheated water bubbles up from beneath the planet’s surface. This annual flooding has, over millennia, created a glassy crust at the floodline, and different lifeforms have evolved to thrive above and below the surface.
