Hey guys. This year, UMSA is planning something entirely new, our first Board Games Night this coming Friday. We will be having a variety of board games and card games for you to play all night. Among the games we will be having that night will include In The Year of The Dragon, Cranium, Royal Palace, Amazing Race and MANY MORE interesting games.

Here’s what you will get from ‘In The Year of The Dragon’ game:

“Players take on the role of Chinese rulers around the year 1000. The game plays out in twelve rounds, with each round representing one month in a year that seems to go from bad to worse. Disease, drought, and attacks from the Mongols may claim lives, but make sure you have enough money to offer a tribute to the Emperor“

More importantly, this will be a great event to make new friends and better still, there will be light refreshment of pizzas, snacks and drinks. So, hurry up and register at the UMSA stall because places are limited and this is definitely not an event to be missed.
