Board games are becoming more popular, are fun to play, keep your brain alive, and are great ways to have fun with family and friends. Playing online is a great option for doing this – whether it is with a distant grandchild or your local games club on a wet day. This course is a short introduction to playing board games online that provides you with enough to learn how to do it and some practice on actual games. You will learn how to use sites that allow you meet others online (similar to Zoom but better) and to play games for free or, if you wish to access a broader range of games, at modest cost (specifically, Boardgamarena.com). We will meet in person so I can help individuals who find it difficult at first but you can also participate by zoom as this is a hybrid course.
There are further options after the course if you want to play more games – either online or person.
You will need to bring your own computer or tablet and access the U3A wifi. You will need basic computer skills, including using a mouse and accessing websites, and general skills at the level of being able to attend a zoom meeting. If in doubt, contact me.
