What we’re about
Let's play games at Spielbound! The goal is to create a community of people to get to know each other and play both planned and pick-up games at Omaha's local Board Game Cafe and Library, Spielbound.
While there will be some events posted here, games at other times are always encouraged!
If you would like to post an event to this group, contact Lily Wang, an organizer of this group and Volunteer Coordinator at Spielbound. I will be happy to post your event here, and on the Spielbound calendar and Facebook page as well if you like!
