In the past couple decades, game designers have been creating fascinating, immersive 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 games cultivate creativity, problem solving, social skills, and dexterity through clever game design. Join Guild Hall and Game Master Noah Salaway in embracing the tabletoprevolution as we play some of the best modern games on the market the last Monday of each month.Ages 16 and up only.
This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Barenpark. In this game, players compete to build the best bear park. Everyone starts with a gridded board which, over the course of the game, must be filled up with polyonimo (Tetris-shaped) bear enclosures. On your turn, you choose one of the available pieces, maybe a polar bear or kodiak enclosure, and fit it into your park. Depending on which spaces you cover up on your board, you will be eligible to purchase a new piece for next turn. Barenpark is a test of spatial reasoning, planning, and love of bears.

Downforce is a drag racing game where players not only compete to place first in the race, but also place bets on the results for extra “cash”. On your turn, you simply play one card from your hand that moves several racers forward on the track. Even though you are usually forced to advance your competitor’s vehicles, you get to decide how to move them. This means you can cause a backup of other players’ cars while yours sails through the crowd effortlessly. Be wary, however, as other players are trying to do this to you as well! Additionally, each racer has a special advantage – will you specialize in straight-aways, sharp turns, or weaving through traffic? Three times during the race, players will place bets on the final results. This means you don’t actually have to win the race, as long as you can bet on who will!
Presented by Professor Phil Armitage, Astrophysicist, Stony Brook University. Cosponsored by the Montauk Observatory and Guild Hall of East Hampton.
The first body of interstellar origin was discovered as it passed through the inner Solar System on October of 2017. It was given the name “Oumuamua,” after the Hawaiian term for “scout.” The existence of interstellar interlopers was not entirely unexpected since planetary systems are expected to eject many Earth masses of comet and asteroid-like bodies as they form. However, many of the observed properties of Oumuamua were and still remain mysterious. In this talk, Prof. Armitage will discuss what we know about this interstellar visitor and what we hope to learn about the formation and early evolution of planetary systems as more such objects are identified.
This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Azul, a beautiful tile-based game about building a mosaic wall. In Azul, players take turns strategically selecting colorful tiles from a common supply available to all players. At the end of each round, acquired tiles are slid over into each player’s mosaic wall and points are scored based on connecting tiles. Azul, 2018’s game of the year, is a great, easy game to learn and has beautiful, tactile pieces to play with.
