Game Night
|
Quick, let’s play word association: parlor games. If your first thought is of a Charlotte Brontë novel, then dust off your notion of a good time and discover the fun of the Gulfshore’s game nights. Whether you’re a card-carrying bridge fan or a trivia buff, there’s something here for you.
Bill Gates does it. So does Warren Buffet. And now you can play like the billionaires while honing your skills at the Naples Bridge Club. The club plays daily and lessons are available to beginners—net worth not included. Naples Bridge Club, 5865 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, (239) 455-4445, www.naplesbridge.com.
If you understand the triple-word blocks of a Scrabble board to be the holy grails of wordplay, then spend Tuesday night with the likeminded wordsmiths of the Naples Scrabble Club. Three rounds of play start at 7 p.m. For location and details, contact Gerry Sugarman at (239) 305-5444.
Imagine your Trivial Pursuits board came with a shepherd’s pie and pints of Guinness. That’s about what you get on Thursday’s quiz nights at the English Pub in south Naples, where tables of pub-goers compete in a trivia contest for prizes and bragging rights. Bring your mates, games start at 8:30 p.m.. English Pub, 2408 Linwood Ave., Naples, (239) 774-2408, www.naplesenglishpub.com.
Chess is a game of strategy. Fortunately, if you show up early to play in the monthly game at the South County Regional Library, you can check out a book of game tips. Participation is free and the library provides boards and pieces. Players of all levels are welcome. South County Regional Library, 21100 Three Oaks Parkway, Estero, (239) 390-3200.
