🎲 Offering Game Day Support: We provide board game support to local events, assisting and amplifying the communal spirit.

📚 Donating to Game Libraries: We contribute to expanding game libraries, ensuring more organizations can access these enriching resources.

📖 Running Board Game Teaching Events: We partner with organizations to deliver engaging teaching events, introducing board games to new audiences.

Education Outreach

We have been praising the social and cognitive benefits of board games for years. Ideally, we want to see them incorporated into the classroom curriculum everywhere. So, in order to make it more accessible, we’ve recruited educators to develop game lists, lesson plans, and guides specifically for educators.
