Mostly continuous since 9/20/2002 - one of the longest running open games nights in the Triangle.

You are more than welcome to play our games, or bring your own! If you've never heard of one (or all) of these, heck it's just more fun things to learn. And you're more than welcome to bring more!
The trend appears to be about 30 (+/- 8). If ya feel the need to let me know you're coming in advance, go ahead, but if not, please come anyway!
We typically provide drinks and chips. You're welcome to bring more food (food good!) but it's not a requirement. Please note the host can't eat things with dairy/lactose. Doesn't mean you can't bring them, just means Rick won't eat them :-)
If you have any questions, email us or call at 919 490-1067.

We have TWO friendly standard (read large) poodles (tho one is smaller than the other). Then can sound ... noisy ... as you're coming up to the house. Penny does well with groups, but Tanner's still learning and is a bit spooky, so please try not to freak him out. If you're allergic to dogs, they're hypoallergenic!
