DFW Nerd Night presents: Kaiju Calamity
An alternative to our regular Charity Auction this year, DFW Nerd Night is helping to host a multi-minigame event, DFW Nerd Night presents: Kaiju Calamity with all of the proceeds to be donated to BGG's charity parter, Cafe' Momentum.
Pay $5 at the door to get "energy" to work your way through multiple minigames in an effort to defeat the Kaiju. Prizes will also be given throughout the event.
This is a come and go event, but we invite all to come and share in some light-hearted fun while contributing to a great charity.
