We know it can be hard to make friends when you’re an adult. We’ve got the perfect solution – a low stakes, fun way to talk to people and make connections. We’re talking about learning and playing simple Card Games!

This is your chance to meet a whole bunch of cool people looking to expand their social circle, just like you, and maybe get in a couple rounds of Go Fish.

Participants will be encouraged to join tables where they might not know anyone in order to learn a fun game, meet new people, and connect!
