Free time is amazing but being stuck in your dorm maybe boring every time. Grab some friends and try these nerdy, fun-filled games. With some even being long-lasting, these games can make the time go by fast while waiting on the line in your favorite cafe or before you have to go to your next class.
1. Card games like Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering and other card games can get pricing but it is good to learn on a starting deck. Cards can be bought pretty much anywhere like Walmart, Target, and local card shops. Other Magic players may also sell cards too. I learned through other players but the rules are most likely online too.
2. Tabletop Games like Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinders
Dungeons and Dragons has been around since the late 70s and loved by many nerds, young and old. The easiest and most accessible version is 5e. This is the version played by most now. Ways to be able to learn are easy to access. There is a channel on YouTube called Critical Role which plays and post sessions every Thursday plus websites like DnD Beyond. Books are kinda expensive but .pdf files of them can be found online.
3. Board games like Munchkin
Munchkin is a board/card game that has you face monsters to go up in level. You even get bonuses and such with the cards you have. The game can be bought at most places with the board games. They are also online.
