The Draught House in downtown Youngstown will continue to host their games nights on Tuesday evenings.

Carly's been involved with the Draught House for four years, it began in the summer around mid June. It all began on one day when a group of people would come in with a group of cards called Cards Against Humanity and asked the bartenders if they could play. With permission, that group has been playing ever since.

The game nights consist of purchased dollar store games and even household games of various age groups and different varieties. The categories of games would range from the original Sorry, Connect Four, and Life

One of the most popular games at the Draught House is a go fish card game that tends to attract a good group of players each night from all ages.

The night begins just like any other normal night at the bar with drinks and food of every variety being served, then around six or seven the bartenders and other attendees will bring their own games to the game night. This isn’t a structured night, with set rules and logistics.

Along with the board and card games going on, the Draught House will also feature wings, and $3 draft specials along with shots for those who do or not engage in the festivities.

“Whether it’d be an award, like I got first place, or little mini coffee cups that people end up using as shot glasses,” Carly said. “Something fun and silly.”

Carly likes to think of this weekly game night as a way for business to grow and more people to get involved with others on Tuesdays when the house would normally slow.

The Draught House wanted to do something different then what the other bars would do on certain nights. Not only that, but Carly mentions how some of the players become friends from being frequent attendees from the oddest of games.

“Wednesdays were just so mundane and we had such a blast the first time that happened it just snowballed from there,” Carly said.

After that one night, it started to grow from various people joining different tables and those people telling their friends. According to Carly there is one avid group that will choose their one table and relaxing while playing their favorite games along with drink some beers.

For those are new to the Draught House or game night and aren’t sure what’s going on, the bartender would come over to them explain what’s going on and then lead them to a table.

Each group is limited to game play by 20 minutes in order to make things fair for everyone who might be waiting for a certain game.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
