There are so many amazing board games out there to to learn how to play! While many gaming stores offer demo nights for games they can often be in a loud overstimulating environment that might not feel welcoming to women gamers. Our low-sensory women's only game night is for women to come in and learn about different amazing boardgames and try their hand at a round or two of the games!
