Meet nearby Party Game Players! This group is designed for adults (sort-of) who enjoy games like Pictionery, Scattergories, Password, and Charades. Very easy rules and a nice, intimate setting where we keep score but nobody loses.  Typically, we stick to PARTY games and not card or board games. It's more constant action for everybody, and, I believe, lends itself to more goofiness!    MAKE TIME FOR FUN!!

This is a group of people that get together each Tuesday night to get to know each other. We always eat dinner together. Every other week we play triva at a local bar or have a game night.
