It's happening! Board games and hand-pulled noodles, in the same room, on a Thursday night. We're teaming up with @lil_devil_noodles for a one-night collab at @opentestkitchen .
I'll have a curated box of games — easy party games, some strategic favorites, and a few you might not have seen before — plus folks on hand to teach. Lil Devil will be behind the counter pulling fresh noodles to order. OTK's bar will be open.
Whether you've played hundreds of board games or none, drop in anytime.
🗓 Thursday, May 21 · 6–9 PM
📍 Open Test Kitchen (aka Oakland Bloom), 528 8th St., Oakland Chinatown

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much your interest in + attendance at our TTRPG nights! We’re taking a pause until May, then we’ll back with a monthly date. Stay tuned!
’m considering adding TTRPG one-shots soon! I’m thinking both some beginner D&D games (learn-to-play) and maybe some other TTRPGs as well for experienced players.
If you want to get a feel for my style of GM'ing, check out @rollforshade !
If you’re interested, comment or DM me and we’ll add it to the calendar.
