The next Family Game Night at Haddon Square takes place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday night in Haddon Township. There is something for everyone to play – easy board games, word games, even a vibrant game of Pictionary. For those who enjoy more active games, there's Badminton & Cornhole set up. Each week is a little different, but a sample of the games they've played include: Ticket to Ride, Exploding Kittens, Taco vs Burrito, Bananagrams, card games, and more including classics like Sorry, Life and Clue. Want to play something else? Please bring your own game – they will have the players. The lights will be on and the toilets open. So bring some food and drinks (of any kind) and join your neighbors for some fun. This event follows CDC guidelines surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
