In an age when entertainment is often solitary and screen based, the Empire Area Community Center’s (EACC) new Wednesday game night offers something refreshingly analog: a table, a game, and the simple act of being in the same room with other people.
T he inaugural game night was held last Wednesday at the Empire Townhall. Folding tables were set up to accommodate multiple different groups and games with players circled around each. While one table was hunched in quiet concentration, another was erupting in laughter over a weird Pictionary drawing. A table at the back of the room was piled high with sharable snacks brought by attendees for anyone to enjoy.
Games ranged from quick, casual favorites like Uno and Connect 4 to more strategic ones like Sequence. Players bring their own games, and there seemed to be for every mood and skill level.
