‘Date Night’ is a series of weekly couple themed events for the month of May, to promote unique experiences and conversation between couples. Organized by the Kingston Parks & Recreation department, each week is an individual program designed to promote collaboration and coordination between couples, to deepen bonds and create fun memories. With a focus on affordability and participation, participation in the programs is not limited to only couples, with any relationship of adult partners welcome to participate, from best friends to newlyweds to senior couples.
For the second week of Date Night, the Kingston Parks & Recreation Department is presenting “Build a BoardGame together!” This event is designed around cooperation and teamwork between partners to create a new or modified version of a board/card game!
Participants will have the option of using the materials from upcycled board/card games, or creating materials from scratch using any resources available, to create your game. You can recreate Uno with custom cards, fix all the issues you have with Monopoly, or create an entirely new game together!
You will be tasked with creating the game, the pieces, and write down the basic rules for playing. If there is time available, we also welcome participants to test the game, and for groups to try each other’s games!
Should you finish early, or would rather just play games and not create custom ones, we also have board games you are welcome to try! Examples include Mahjong, Catan, Chess, and even a custom game made by our organizers named ‘Untangle’!
The point of tonight is to experience board games and their power to bring together people through casual competitiveness and cooperation. Games are meant to be enjoyed, so however you want to participate, we would love to have you!
