Every month we offer activities for the whole family. Easy, roll the dice games to help the younger children with their counting and sportsmanship skills. For the older kids and adults, there will be several historical miniatures games to teach critical thinking skills while having some fun. We will continue the historical book sale and the flea market selling tabletop gaming items.

The historical miniatures games for this month will be;
Age of Sail – Naval conflict at sea.
Gladators! – Man to Man Combat in the Arena.
The War of 1812 – British and American troops clash on the field of battle. 
.
No experience with tabletop gaming is necessary and the easy beginner rules will be taught.
