Play Along with Us: The Game of the Month club

  • 1.  Play Along with Us: The Game of the Month club

    Posted Jul 29, 2009 07:29 AM

    As a new activity of the Games and Gaming Members Initiative Group, we are starting a Game of the Month club.  Like a book club, your goal will be to play the game and then join us to talk about the game and different ways it could be incorporated in libraries.  The hope is to explore games and help you expand your gaming horizons!  We plan to cover all sorts of games over time, so even if you are a fan of one type of game, this will be a way to explore some highlights of other game types.

    The main space for this club will be a discussion forum here on ALA Connect:
