Join this interactive fantasy board game group where storytelling and single-character play, set on a loosely medieval world, will take you on the adventure of a lifetime! This group will run every Friday evenings, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm, and will allow you to meet new people and develop your soft-skills. No previous experience or knowledge necessary, all you need to bring is your imagination and have either a phone or computer to connect to Zoom.
