Clear your calendar, because Manitowoc Public Library is hosting a can’t-miss event that promises fun for all ages! Mark your datebooks for Friday, December 6, from 10 AM to 2 PM, and get ready for “Game On! All Ages Board Games.”
This drop-in program is set to transform a day off for Manitowoc Public School District students into an extraordinary adventure. Whether you are a strategy expert, a casual player, or a board game newbie, there is something for everyone. The library’s Balkansky Room will be filled with a fantastic array of classic and modern board games, ensuring an exciting and engaging experience for all attendees.
One of the best things about this event is its intergenerational appeal. It is not just for the kids or the adults—it is for everyone! Grandparents can show their grandkids how to dominate at Monopoly, parents can challenge their teens to a game of Chess, and younger siblings can teach their elders the ins and outs of Don’t Spill the Beans. It is a wonderful opportunity for different generations to bond, share laughs, and create lasting memories through the joy of gaming.
Among the featured games, you will find timeless favorites like Ticket to Ride—where you will build train routes across the map—and Uno, the colorful card game that has been a family favorite for generations. Monopoly will have you buying, trading, and scheming your way to victory, while Chutes & Ladders takes you on a nostalgic journey back to your childhood. Chess enthusiasts can test their wits in intense battles of intellect, and for those looking for a quirky challenge, Robot Face Race will offer a unique twist.
