Board Game Night — Aye, Dark Overlord

by

Are you looking for something to do this Thursday night between 6 pm and 8 pm? Join Brainstorm Comics and Gaming at 54 E Patrick St for a game or two of Aye, Dark Overlord. Each round a new player assumes the role of the Dark Overlord, beginning the story of the failed quest by their minions. But alas, no minion wants to assume the blame (or wrath) of their leader, so it is up to you to shift the blame to your comrades in arms. This game takes several hilarious twists. Don’t be afraid to throw your best friend under the bus in an effort to protect your own hide. Just make sure the Dark Overlord believes your story.

So join us for this absolutely free entertainment. You’ll love the game and the people you meet.
