You are not required to register or reserve a table during a session to attend the event. However, registration is free and scheduling a session guarantees you a table for you to host a game or a seat at a scheduled game (as availability permits). You may reserve two morning or two evening sessions back-to-back if table availability permits. There is no time limit on the open tables but they are reserved for board game use only. The open tables are available on a first come, first served basis.
Lunch is not provided. Please bring your lunch or, if you wish, many of Brunswick’s fine dining establishments are readily available downtown (within walking distance from the library).
Please Note: Food and drink are not permitted at the game tables.
