About this event
Every Saturday afternoon, Game Lab is reserved for our gaming girls! Girl Adventurers was developed by two women who are passionate about games and wanted to provide a dedicated space for girls to connect and play games created and designed by women. Girls can adventure together in Dungeons & Dragons and other story-driven games, where teamwork and cooperation lead to success. This is a perfect space for girls seeking out a calmer, kinder fantasy adventure! SCHEDULE This weekly program meets every Saturday from 12pm-2pm at our South Slope Annex location (481 7th Ave). PAYMENTS This program is paid by recurring monthly payment. After your first payment (collected upon registration), payments are charged at the beginning of each subsequent month. If you register after the beginning of the month, your first payment will be prorated accordingly. DURATION Participants enjoy and pay for 8 months of programming (September - May). MAKEUPS For families that miss a class or two, we’re holding sessions in June for make-ups (at no additional cost). Brooklyn Game Lab is an inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly space, and all kids who identify as girls in any sense are welcome to join. All necessary materials will be provided.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM Ready for some exciting Magic: the Gathering competition? Kids get new Magic packs, build great decks and play matches every Friday night. They earn points for each win, and the one with the most points at the end of each season (February and June) gets a prize! If your child joins this program after the first session, we configure points to make sure they are still a contender for the season finale prize. Cards distributed during the program must remain at the Lab for duration of season. Kids can take them home at the end of the season. This program is designed for kids who know basic MTG play and rules. Winter League runs September - January. Spring League runs February - June. SCHEDULE This subscription program meets Fridays from 7pm-9pm. Due to the ongoing competitive nature of Magic League, drop-in registration is not available, but players may join the league after the beginning of the season. COST Friday Night Magic League is a subscription program costing $165/month. The subscription fee includes free MTG packs set aside for participants of the program and ensures we can plan to have enough packs for everyone. MAKEUPS If you know your child will be absent for Magic League, let us know. They will receive their MTG packs next time they attend Magic League, and we can move the registration for the date they miss to Teen Board Games Saturday or Sunday, or Sunday Showcase (Afternoon D&D or TCGs) according to their age and interests.
