Game Night

Be part of the very first Troop Mahjong Society gathering in the DMV. Spring is in the air, and a new Mahjong community is blooming. Join The Charleston Coach for a special Spring Fling Mahjong Social celebrating the launch of our local Troop Mahjong DMV community. This is the perfect chance to meet fellow Mahjong players, enjoy great drinks, and grow your Mahjong circle. ✨ **Troop Perks** ✨ Each attendee will receive a Troop Mahjong Society Merit Book, merit stickers, and bingo card to start tracking Mahjong achievements and milestones. **Skill Level:** This event is designed for players who already know the basics of American Mahjong and are comfortable playing with the NMJL card. This is a social play event, not a beginner lesson. Seats are limited. **Registration Required:** Reserve your spot here: https://bookwhen.com/thecharlestoncoach

Games night is back! With our favorite local game store opening back up, Games night will come back starting Monday June 7th! We are an lgbt+ games group that’s been going for nearly 3 years now! We welcome anyone in the lgbt+ community to come play board games every Monday with our fun and chaotic crew! If you’re brand new to board gaming and looking to make some friends or if you love playing 4 hour space operas and are looking to make some rivals, we’re the group for you! We are an lgbt+ group that focuses on creating a safe lgbt+ community. Non-lgbt+ individuals are welcome when attending with an lgbt+ friend, family member, or partner. Huzzah hobbies currently follows cdc guidelines, where customers who are vaccinated are allowed to not wear masks indoors. With their current hours on Mondays, they are open until 9pm; if they change hours and remain open later, games night will continue until close. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to message us here!

Curl up with a good book and a hot cup of your poison of choice. Maybe start a book club to talk about your favs and read together.

Every week it's a different theme! We have done authors and their works, Changing Seasons, Animated Characters, and lots more. Form a team, but your team score is the amount of correct answers divided by number of team members. And, yes, there are prizes! If attendance is low, everyone gets something, but if it's big, the prizes are bigger, including gift cards! All questions are either created by us, or taken from one of our very many trivia games on hand. There will always be easy and hard questions, plus a fair range for every kind of player to be involved. Cost of attendance is being a patron of the store - buy food and drink or even a new game, and you're welcome to sit and play this (or any other game from our massive library!).

**!!Please read to the end for important information!!** Monday night bowling?! What a great idea! Join us for good times and lousy bowling. Lane assignment may vary per week. To find us, tell the front desk you are here for the "OG Lousy Bowlers." Please confirm your plans at least two days in advance (Saturday) of each event and update your RSVP if you can no longer attend. Members will be removed from the group after their second unannounced no-show. **Consistent RSVP changes less than two days before our events will result in a warning, after which they will be considered as a no-show.**

Hello again! After a long hiatus, the Monday meet up at Nanny O’Briens is back! We’ll have some games to play, but feel free to bring your favorites as well. Stop by for a game and a drink, and say hello! We’ll be in the back room. Other info: Nanny O'Brien's is allowing us to use their back room for some board game socializing. Please reciprocate their generosity by purchasing food and drinks. Free street parking starts at 6:30 in most areas (make sure to read the signs). If you're taking the metro, take the red line to Cleveland Park and walk two blocks southwest on Connecticut (we are located next to CVS).
