WHAT THIS IS: A Modern Tabletop Gaming Event. We will have beginner games like Catan, Sushi Go!, Splendor, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, & Codenames, as well as some slightly more advanced games like Wingspan and Everdell. For people familiar with the hobby, feel free to bring your own games if you'd like. If you don't know how to play a game, we'll teach you!
For an idea of what modern tabletop games are, you can check out this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/DYedXMq-R6I
WHAT IT’S NOT: You should not expect to see anything mainstream like Monopoly, Scrabble, Boggle, Risk, Battleship, Yahtzee, or Poker. This is also not a Dungeons and Dragons, Magic, or Warhammer event. If it’s a game someone tried to make you play in the 90’s or earlier, it’s not modern and so you won’t see it here.
WHO: Anyone age 16 and up who is interested in learning and playing great games with great people!
Age 12 and up if accompanied by a participating adult.
WHERE: Matawan Aberdeen Public Library downstairs in the meeting room!

For an idea of what modern tabletop games are, you can check out this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/DYedXMq-R6I
WHAT IT’S NOT: You should not expect to see anything mainstream like Monopoly, Scrabble, Boggle, Risk, Battleship, Yahtzee, or Poker. This is also not a Dungeons and Dragons, Magic, or Warhammer event. If it’s a game someone tried to make you play in the 90’s or earlier, it’s not modern and so you won’t see it here.
WHO: Anyone age 16 and up who is interested in learning and playing great games with great people!
Age 12 and up if accompanied by a participating adult.
WHERE: Matawan Aberdeen Public Library downstairs in the meeting room!
Stop by the Children's Room this morning to play with our marble music track. You can change the sounds it makes and experiment with scales, pitch, and tone. What song will you make?
Open to children of all ages.
