This is not just game night. It is a chance to gather, laugh, connect, and support a creative movement rooted in culture, community, and purpose.

Each month, guests will join David Hommy Gonzalez for a featured board game experience at Birch Road in Lincoln Park. David will guide the group through the game, explain the rules, and help lead everyone down the path, whether you are a seasoned gamer or completely new to the table.

Every ticket helps support the work of Beats, Boards & Brushes, a cultural strategy nonprofit using creativity, storytelling, games, and community experiences to generate real impact.

What to expect:

  • A hosted board game experience with David Hommy Gonzalez
  • Rules explanation and guided gameplay
  • A fun, low-pressure atmosphere
  • A chance to meet new people and support B³
  • BYOB vibes with a little something extra from the host

Come play with purpose.
