‘Ticket to Ride’
Journey into the world of board games with “Ticket to Ride.” The Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., hosts “Board Games for Grown-Ups” from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3. Event organizers say playing board games is a great way to meet new people, try something new and have fun. Library officials have teamed up with Meeples of Sequim to offer this introduction into the world of board games.
“Ticket to Ride” is a cross-country train adventure in which players collect and play matching train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. It is suggested for ages 18 and older.
