You are more than welcome to play our games, or bring your own! If you've never heard of one (or all) of these, heck it's just more fun things to learn. And you're more than welcome to bring more!
The trend appears to be about 16 (+/- 8). If ya feel the need to let me know you're coming in advance, go ahead, but if not, please come anyway!
We typically provide drinks and chips. You're welcome to bring more food (food good!) but it's not a requirement. Please note the host can't eat things with dairy/lactose. Doesn't mean you can't bring them, just means Rick won't eat them :-)
We try to keep the more social/loud games isolated in the den so they're not quite so disruptive, and strategy games upstairs. This is not really a good event for those under the age of 14 or so.
If you have any questions, email us.
