Metro Detroit Game Night

Please join us for our annual Party Game Night as we welcome new members and celebrate 11 years of MDGN! New this year is the Wade Boggs Challenge (21+), see below for important details if interested in this one time *optional* fun. The games we're going to play won't be set in stone in advance - we'll pick them together and go over the rules before we start. We have a growing library of 500+ board games (MDGN Board Game Library) and 300+ video games (MDGN Video Game Library) to choose from but feel free to bring your own too if you like.

• Main Floor: Party / Board Games
• Downstairs: Video Games
• Basement: Party / Board Games & (21+) Drinking Games

• The Wade Boggs Challenge (21+): immortalized in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 10 Episode 1 and inspired by a legendary drinking feat where the baseball player allegedly drank 73 beers on a cross-country flight from Boston to LA. If you'd like to participate and become part of the lore simply buy/wear a cheap t-shirt that's a light enough color to mark with a black sharpie and bring as many beers, hard ciders, or hard seltzers as you can drink (could just be a six pack, or a lot more). When you arrive check in with our official Commissioner who will be wearing a badge. Whenever you finish a beer or two bring the empties to her and she'll mark them off on your shirt. No cheating, be respectful, be safe, feel free to crash, do not drive after!

Please park on the nearby side street to the Southeast called Irval Drive. No parking on the grass. BYOB if you're 21+ and planning to drink, whatever food you like for snacks and / or dinner, and anything you want to play that isn't in our game library. Please note there are no shoes allowed on inside (except medical boots) but you're welcome to bring your own clean slippers if you like.
