About this event

Looking for a way to play more games with friends, family, or formidable opponents? Ready to find your inner board game competitor, sharpen your skills, or just party with fellow game lovers? Game League is back for Season 2 at the Rook Room Game Lounge & Cafe!

Eight teams of four compete over eight sessions: a welcome event, six game nights, and an end-of-season celebration party. It’s friendly competition for every skill level, from first-timers to seasoned champions.

LET’S GET GAMING!

Two Ways to Join

Sign up with a full team of four, or come solo or with a friend or two, and we’ll match you with new teammates. Everyone meets at the welcome event to get to know the games, their teammates, and the other teams.

Season 2 Games

Splendor · Carcassonne · Quacks · 7 Wonders

Every game night, your teammates split up across all four games and earn points for the team. Every team that finishes the season gets a commemorative enamel pin, a certificate, and an invite to the party, where the top three teams take home trophies.
