Harding is known for its close-knit community. This is typically due to students finding creative ways to spend time together in a slower-paced town. One way students get involved on campus is by joining various clubs and activities, one of which is the Board Game Nights club. The club, formed in the fall of 2023, has been a quick way for many students to find community with those who share a common interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely super casual. It\u2019s basically just a whole bunch of people who like playing games with friends,\u201d freshman Elijah Hawk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawk has been involved in the Board Game Nights club since the fall semester and has enjoyed getting to know other students who share his love of board games. He said that his favorite part about the club was its variety<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll never show up and have the same people, the same games being played, or the same experience,\u201d Hawk said. \u201cIt\u2019s always new. There\u2019s always something different to try. You didn\u2019t enjoy the last game last time? Well, pick a different game this time. You can pretty much show up and leave at any point while they\u2019re there and there\u2019s pretty much always a game for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore Elijah Seright has been a member since it formed and described the inspiration behind starting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, we just wanted to make a place where people could get together and network with people of similar interests,\u201d Seright said. And really it\u2019s just another social event, another way to hang out with folks,\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board Game Nights club meets every Tuesday from 6-9 p.m. in Mabee 111. The club has a collection of board games, but students are encouraged to bring their games as well. Hawk and Seright explained how any student interested in getting involved is welcome to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne thing they can do is they can join our Discord or GroupMe. In addition, if they want to become a member and get involved in the actual administration of the club, they can pay $8 and that\u2019s full membership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their main goal is to get the word out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to make sure that anybody who\u2019s interested but can\u2019t find a group or can\u2019t find friends who are interested can find us,\u201d Seright said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who loves playing games, meeting new people and taking much-needed breaks from school work is encouraged to take part in the Board Game Nights club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
