March 22nd, our Indie Board Game showcase is back, and bigger than ever! We're once again teaming up with the folks at Knight Moves to host a slew of local game designers, giving you a chance to not only play their cardboard creations, but also meet the brilliant minds that made them. The event boasts 30+ local game designers and a lineup featuring over 70% games that have never been demoed at one of our events before.
Please note: We use the title BOINGA in all of our collaborations with Knight Moves. So for those of you who attended the BOINGA Game Festival last year, don't worry, that's coming back in the fall! But this March 22nd event is exclusively focused on indie board game designers.

Public Service
In honor of our upcoming Parks and Rec trivia, can you answer these questions about government, politics and public service? Quirk Events style.
- The landmark 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges ruled that same-gender marriage was protected under which Constitutional amendment?
- What contentious US policy was implemented by President Lincoln to fund the Union war effort, repealed in 1872, revived in 1894, ruled unconstitutional a year later by the Supreme Court, then finally embraced through an amendment to the Constitution in 1913 - in anticipation of another war effort?
- When Elon Musk’s The Boring Company sold 20,000 promotional flame throwers, it got in trouble with the California state government, prompting Musk to sell what instead, saying they would be “overpriced” but would “come with a really cool sticker?”
- What website, which launched on January 15, 2001 and is now one of the most visited sites in the world, once temporarily banned anyone with an IP address linked to the US Congress because of multiple attempts to significantly edit the site’s content?
- Two of the following statements about the 2000 election are real. One, we just made up. Which one is fake?
A) When the Supreme Court heard Bush v Gore on December 11, they had only one day to make a momentous decision, as Florida had to assign its electors by December 12.
B) As of the 2022 election, Florida’s Sarasota County was still using its controversial punch-card voting machines.
C) While Florida got more attention, the election’s vote count in New Mexico was even closer, where Gore won by a mere 366 votes.
