Pair-A-Dice
Pair-A-Dice is SUUSI's dedicated table-top gaming space for all ages! Sit down at a table and play a game with old friends or meet some new ones. Check out a favorite game or game you'd like to learn from our huge lending library. Staff and volunteers can recommend (and sometimes teach) games for all ages, group sizes, and gaming familiarity levels. This year we'll be having theme nights focused on teaching games to people who might not have played them before and matching up people with games they might like, but you can always come to Pair-a-Dice and check out and play any of our games, no matter the day or the theme. If we have space at a table you are welcome and encouraged to play right there, but if our room gets full, you can take your checked out game to another lounge or room and bring it back later.

Dungeons and Dragons
The SUUSI gaming community has collaboratively created the world of WUURTH, a typical fantasy land with one important difference. About a decade ago, the various peoples and races in WUURTH came together and crafted a charter. The Charter of WUURTH grants full and equal rights to all who have signed it. Each group that has signed it has been granted a representative on the Council of WUURTH, the ruling council of the land. Because of this charter, the realm of WUURTH is much more diverse than most others in the surrounding lands; that doesn't make it a utopia, however.
Each year’s adventures in WUURTH shape the world and provide inspiration for the following year’s settings, so it’s fun to come back year after year. But it’s always a good time to join and step into our world of dragons and kobolds and gnomes and enchanted armor. If you’re interested in helping to craft or lead this programming, email games@suusi.org.
