Pack Tactics — Fantasy Game Night

Roll for initiative, consume an ale — Pack Tactics has landed at The Barking Barley.

On the first Friday of every month, we’re clearing the tables for a night of fantasy card and tabletop gaming. Bring your Commander deck, sleeve up for 60-card, throw down in a cube draft, deal in some trades, or gather your party for a little Dungeons & Dragons. Whatever you play, there’s a seat at the table.

In D&D, “pack tactics” is what happens when the wolves hunt together — everybody gets an edge when the pack rolls in. Same energy here. Round up your crew, claim a table, and let the dice fall where they may.

New to the game? No sweat. We keep extra decks on hand and we’re always happy to teach you the ropes, so you can go from “what’s a mana curve?” to game night regular in one sitting.

While you strategize, we’ll keep you fed and watered with the best hot dogs, nachos, and craft beer in town. And yes — your four-legged sidekick is welcome too. Dogs drink free. Owners do not.

First Friday. 6 PM. Free to join. Just show up and play.

See you in the park.
