Guild Hall Game Night: Mental Blocks

Loading Events

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Mental Blocks. 

Mental Blocks is cooperative puzzle solving game where players work together to build a common structure out of foam blocks. For every puzzle, each player receives a card depicting one perspective of the finished structure. Players must work together using their limited information to solve the puzzle before the timer runs out. After a couple rounds, we will try the “hidden traitor variant,” where a player who knows the puzzle’s solution is actively trying to sabotage the team without being found out. Mental Blocks is an incredibly simple concept that has everyone playing with blocks, stretching their minds, and working together.

Out with the old, in with the new!

In the past couple decades, game designers have been creating fascinating, immersive table-top games that make Monopoly seem like it was designed in 1905. Game night no longer means suffering through hours of rolling dice in Monopoly or Risk. Today’s newest non-digital board and card games cultivate creativity, problem solving, social skills, and dexterity through clever game design. Join Guild Hall and Game Master Noah Salaway in embracing the tabletop revolution as we play some of the best modern board games on the market the last Monday of each month. Take a break from the digital age and join us at the table! Ages 16 and up only.
