Gamers converge in Luck


Colleen Allen from Luck had her first successful board game night earlier this summer.  Here’s what she had to say:  
“I must say,  I love having a job where I can do things I love and invite other people to join in on the fun.  And call it “work.”
There were 10 of us last night and everyone was eager to return next week.
Threee teen boys joined an adult and played a cooperative game called Pandemic.  The young set played Connect Four and  Mastermind.  The other adults played Forbidden Island, another cooperative game (sadly, we, the players, lost to the Island), Blokus, and Qwirkle.
We are only hosting an official board game night once a month (because I didn’t want my adult volunteers to burnout) but they plan on coming weekly and playing with whoever shows up, and the boys said they were coming back.  Hurray!”
