SCARAB Gaming Convention
Board Gaming
SCARAB Board Game Library has over 400 board games from a variety of publishers for ages 3 to 99 and ranging in play times from 15 minutes to 4 hours. You can look through our handy Board Game Library book to find a game to play or look at the shelves.
The book contains alphabetized cards that contain the name of the game, a picture of the box, the age suggestion, the number of players, and time of play. If the game has been reviewed on the SwarmCast Podcast Hosted by Jon Maness and Toast there will be a SwarmCast sticker!
In order to check a game out of the SCARAB Board Game Library you simply leave your ID with the attendant, they store it in a secure location and when you return the game you get your ID back.
Board Game and similar type game submissions are being accepted NOW until December 31, 2019, or until all slots are full.
