What we’re about
Have fun, meet new people and learn new games! We play card games, board games, local games -- you name it! --We encourage local game designers to come play-test their games with us as well! You can bring a game to teach us or bring an open mind and we will teach you something new. The store has a game library with over 800 games for you to play. This group meets every every Thursday night from 7:00 PM to 11:30pm at It's Your Move Games (4920 Telegraph Ave., a block south of 51st St. across from Walgreen's). We just ask everyone who can to donate a few dollars to help us keep the lights on. Suggested donation $3-$5, although no one is turned away for lack of funds.
