Summer is here. What better way to while away the hot afternoon hours than playing a game in air conditioned comfort? So, to help you have fun and stay cool this summer, we’re introducing Afternoon Game Days at Here Be Books & Games.  Admission is FREE.  Come by yourself^* or bring a friend or two along. Adults and kids 10 and up welcome. (^*Kids under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.)

Here’s how it works:

You show up and we play games.

What could be easier than that?  Ok, well, I thought a theme might be good, too. So each week we’ll introduce a new set of games.  You don’t have to already know a game to play: we’ll teach you how.  That’s part of the fun: learning a new game.  The other part is laughing, making new friends, and just having a good time in general.

Here are my proposed themes (these could change if I get better ideas or special requests):

• Thursday, June 11: Flavors of Fluxx. Includes: Fluxx 4.0, Family Fluxx, EcoFluxx, Zombie Fluxx, Monty Python Fluxx and Espanol Fluxx.
• Thursday, June 18: Train Games. Includes: Transamerica, Ticket to Ride, USA 1910 Expansion, Ticket to Ride Europe, Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition and Ticket to Ride The Card Game.
• Thursday, June 25: Cooperative Operative. Includes cooperative games (players works together against the board, we all win together or lose together): Pandemic, Red November, Battlestar Gallactica, and others as I think of them and/or acquire them.
• Thursday, July 2: Trading’s the Game. Includes: Bohnanza, Oltre Mare, Pit…

What to bring: if you have folding chairs, please bring ‘em.  Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase at the store.

When: Thursdays, June 11 thru July 2,  1pm to 5pm.

Where: Here Be Books & Games, 4650 Ladson Road, Summerville, SC
