Dating for Nerds: Chicago Classic August 19, 2012

Find your partner in Life during a celebration of board games old and new.

Play recent diversions like Morphology, Telestrations, Ultimate Werewolf and Smart Ass with other smart singles.

Plus, boggle minds and monopolize hearts with festivities inspired by tried and true favorites.

Put a spin on socializing during a Twister style icebreaker activity.

Use your cranium during a themed trivia contest. How it works: Each round has general clues loosely related to a different title and ends with a "What board game am I?" question.

Get rewarded for your trouble with prizes like Barrel of Monkeys keychains, pirate dominoes and Connect Four pens.

And, go from trivial pursuer to risk taker with drink specials such as the Queen Frostini (blue curacao floating on top of white creme de cacao), the Spare Ribs (scotch, orange juice, sweet vermouth and muddled cherry) and the Millionaire Estates (hard cider with a shot of Goldschlager).
