One of the best bonuses of Friday night league is getting to have Anjie's amazing culinary delights!! Card's Board Game Cafe has phenomenal food and stellar service! ✨

Unfortunately for me, our baker (Anjie) won't let me have this entire loaf of fresh foccacia with my bowl of soup. She says we need to cut it into pieces and save it for you guys...

If your child is too young to read, we’ll have Pikachu hats, activity sheets, and coloring pages so they can still join the fun.
