Brain Games Game Evening Riga

Meet your gamer soulmate

"The "Brain Games Game Evening" at Riga's National Library of Latvia is a monthly event for everyone looking for board game mates. Let's share our passion!"

I lllooovvveee games. I mean really love them. Not online - video, mobile or internet, but offline games - party games, outdoor games and board games.

Since in our busy world it is not always easy to manage my friends who share my passion in a single place and time, this event is perfect. It is not only a great opportunity to meet your board gamer soulmates, but also a great way to find out new games that you like and cast aside those you don't like so much. There is a moderator who helps you and explain rules of games you don't know, so you don't need to waste time on long reading and understanding, which happens when everyone plays a game for first time. 

Come and join, train your brain, imagination and reaction. The more people, the more fun!

The event is held every last Thursday of the month in the National Library of Latvia, on Floor M, in room 15+. You have to leave your bags in lockers, and near the entrance you get your visitor pass (just say you are coming for the game event).
