E24 - Games - Cucumber - Family Workshop (Jay Graf)
Come to one (or more!) of our four Games workshops to learn a new game or to play an old favorite. There will be many games to choose from including Uno, Candyland, Yahtzee, Pictionary, and Apples to Apples. Each session will also highlight a game or two to be taught by the presenter. In this session you can add another great card game to add to your repertoire: Cucumber. Although it’s not a popular card game, it deserves to be; it’s quick to learn and fun to play for all ages. The object of the game is to play your cards so that you have the lowest remaining card at the end of the game. But watch out, your opponents can force you to play your lowest cards if you’re not careful.
Ages 4 - 99.
