Our staff is made up of seasoned board game players whose love for these games translates into every interaction they have with our campers. We'll learn together through lessons on sportsmanship, organization, as well as techniques that allow the children to teach the games themselves. Our goal is to empower each of our campers with the knowledge and ability to share these complex games with their family and friends - building skill sets that extend into the world outside of our adventure camps!

Tzolk'in is a brand new worker placement game by Daniele Tascini and it's already ranked among the top 20 strategy games in the world! Players face difficult decisions while allocating resources, building monuments, and collecting victory points all while immersing themselves in the ancient world of the Mayans. This game offers a brilliant balancing act with almost no luck involved at all - a true gem among its peers. Oh, and did I mention it has actual working gears?
Mage Knight is a massive cooperative adventure game that runs on a deck building mechanic. This means that instead of rolling die, players carefully play from a deck of cards they've built in order to move around the board, explore dungeons, heal their friends, and fight off dragons! Since players are all on the same team, they must combine their strategies in order to conquer this very difficult game.
Alien Frontiers may look like a luck based game with all its die, but this masterpiece rises above mere chance, tasking players with calculating odds, modifying their rolls, and tactically controlling the board with their colonies. A little like Yatzi meets Chess, this game is a real mind grinder, and for that reason, a favorite among our teachers.
Struggle to survive in the Stone
Age by
working as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers. This
worker placement game was released in 2008 and has received great
praise from game designers and teachers alike. Its beautiful
board and elegant rules combine seamlessly with mechanics that
reinforce planning ahead, calculating odds, and simple division
skills. It's always fun to teach math when the students don't
even realize they're learning. Click HERE to return Home
