Exploit Boston Game Night returns to Allston for its sixth month at the Common Ground on Tuesday, August 1st. Prizes include concert tickets, CDs, board games and also gift certificates from the Common Ground and The Games People Play.
An abundance of board and card games are available to play including Boggle, Scrabble, Uno, Scattergories, Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, Sorry, Cribbage, Yahtzee, Operation, Connect Four, Fluxx, Tichu, Encore, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Carcassonne, Whad' Ya Know, and more.
The "house game" is Apples to Apples. At least one group is playing the game throughout the evening and you can jump in at any time! Don't worry if you've never played it before -- it will probably become your favorite party game in about two minutes. If you're curious about how the game is played, check out the online demo.
The Common Ground has exceptionally good food plus sixteen beers on tap. Get there for dinner at 7pm and then stay for the games.
The Boston Globe noted Exploit Boston Game night as "the perfect chance to make new friends and maybe even emerge as the board games champ you’ve always dreamt you could be."
