Tween and teen gamers will have the opportunity to play strategy-based, miniatures games on three-dimensional boards complete with painted figures, terrain, and features reminiscent of some of the famous conflicts in history. Games will be facilitated by HMGS Next Gen, Inc.
If you’ve never seen a miniatures game before, they are played using dice, tape measures, cards, and other implements, in which teams of players will battle it out to meet the conditions of the scenario. In some ways, they are familiar to anyone that’s played Risk, Stratego, Axis and Allies, and other popular board games. In the case of miniatures, games are played on fully terrain-ed boards, with playing pieces as small as 6mm and as large as 54mm. They are enormous fun!
Our Fall game day will take place on October 22 from 11 AM to 3 PM with a break for lunch. This session will see two games being played concurrently- one for the patrons in 4th-6th grade, and one for teens in grades 7 and up. Please make sure you are registering for the correct session. Registration required.
