Killer Queen freeplay night at Barcade

Killer Queen freeplay night at Barcade

Fri, Jul 10, 11:00 PM
From Killer Queen arcade game meetup

Killer Queen is a cult classic team-based arcade strategy game. It's super easy to learn yet infinitely replayable, and it's also a great way to meet new people. The game will be on freeplay all night. All skill levels are welcome. There's always a handful of experienced players willing to teach the game to newbies. We'll informally make pickup teams throughout the night. Come play a super fun game with an incredible community. 21+ because it's a bar.
