  • Big Dill: A hilarious party game where you exaggerate your abilities for big laughs and big points. Can you convince your friends you’re “kind of a big dill”?
  • Broken and Beautiful: A beautiful and thoughtful abstract strategy game inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where you repair broken pottery with golden lacquer to create something uniquely valuable.
  • Jewels of the Emperor Penguin: A delightful game of dice rolling and set collection. Scale icy mountains with your penguin guild to gather gems and impress the Emperor Penguin himself.
• Free and Open to All: This event is completely free! Come on down, grab a coffee or a bite to eat from our menu of “gnoshables,” and dive into some new games. It’s the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon in Door County with friends and family.
