Mondays
Backgammon. 12:00-3:00
Backgammon is a two-player board game where players race to move all their pieces (checkers) around the board and off into their home board before their opponent. The movement of the checkers is determined by rolling dice. The game combines elements of chance and strategy, with the use of a doubling cube adding an extra layer of risk and reward.

Canasta Hand & Foot. 12:30-3:30
Canasta Hand & Foot uses 5-6 decks to play 4 rounds, where players aim to get rid of cards from their “hand” (first) and then their “foot” (second) to form sets (melds). It’s essentially a faster-paced, easier-to-learn version of traditional Canasta, focusing heavily on creating “books” (7 cards of the same rank) to score points. It is a lot of fun and laughter. Come join us! We’ll teach you to play if you don’t know how. Activity Activity Leader: Bella Hughes

Scrabble is a classic 2–4 player board game where participants create interlocking words, crossword-style, on a 15×15 grid using letter tiles with varying point values. The goal is to achieve the highest score by placing tiles on premium squares (double/triple letter/word scores) and using all seven tiles in a turn (a “Bingo”). This is a word puzzler, and those with the highest points win. The players have alot of fun!
