After a long week of mid-term-induced stress, one of Regis’ newest clubs recovered with none other than a fun-filled round of board games. This type of fun was the goal from Allison Schroeder, the president of Board Game Club, when she founded the group this past year. Fun, new friends, a little competition, and a chance to relax at the end of the week.
New member and sophomore, Seth Beebe, came ready with two duffel bags full of assorted board games. Those bags, he explained, contained all of the games he brought from home. Apparently, he still left behind at least 80 board games when moving to Regis.
From one of these duffel bags came The Resistance, a card-based game of role playing and sabotage. Even other new members like Beebe were soon caught up in the action. This was just the first of many games, and almost all of the club’s members stayed long after the club officially adjourned. “It’s a great way to end the week,” says Berenice Aldecoa, another club member. “Because it’s a stress-free environment.”
“Although, I’m very competitive,” adds Schroeder, laughing.
Interested in attending? Board Game Club will meet from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Student Center on Oct. 31, Nov. 22, and Dec. 6. Better yet, their next meeting is a Halloween party, so expect free food along with free fun. For any questions, just reach out to Allison Schroeder at aschroeder003@regis.edu. Happy board gaming!
