2 Player Date Night

We had great success with out 2 Player Date Night on Valentine’s Day that we’re brining it back again. We are still prepping the menu and ticket prices but what we can say is which board game will be paired with the dinner.

For those that didn’t catch the event in February: This will be a 2-3 course meal that comes with a 2 Player board game which you can learn and play in house or take home to enjoy. The game for this dinner is one that is coming out in a few days: Lairs by KTBG. Players begin with a set of walls, traps, treasures, and monsters, then use them to create a challenging catacomb for their opponent to explore while at the same time attempting to navigate their opponent's dungeon using guile, deduction, and a little bit of luck. Think of the format of battleship except you’re exploring, collecting treasure and fighting monsters.

More info to come in the next week or two!
