Forbidden Island Launch Party
Forbidden Island is a wonderful family game, full of fun and suspense, and perfect for people who want to work with each other instead of against. During the launch party we'll teach you how to play the game, and then you and your fellow adventurers will continue the game on your own. With careful planning and a bit of luck, you and your teammates should be able to capture the treasures and escape the dreaded island before it sinks into the sea. Are you up to the challenge?? But that's not all - Gamewright has generously provided us with a copy of the game that's been autographed by Matt Leacock. We'll be raffling it off during the event, and one lucky player will take it home! Speedcubers to Descend on Wicker Park in July
We'll have competitions for all cube sizes (the original cube is 3X3X3, but they also come in 2X2, 4X4, 5X5, 6X6 and 7X7) as well as 3X3X3 one-handed and 3X3X3 blindfolded events! Visit our web site for complete details about the competition and registration. Can you solve a Rubik's cube but don't feel that you're fast enough to compete? Compete anyway! Lots of people participate just to get an official time, and then work to beat their own time. Or are you like me, a complete flop who can't even come close to solving a cube? Don't fret, anyone who likes puzzles can still have fun at our event. It's fascinating to watch speedcubers compete (all of the competitors are impressive we think, but blindfolded?!?) and we'll also have tons of demo puzzles and brainteasers out on tables for people to enjoy playing with. We'll also be giving away door prizes all day long. It's an event you won't want to miss!
