NYPLarcade Teen: Sportsfriends
NYPLarcade Teen is an opportunity for teens to play, watch, and discuss independent, experimental, and thought-provoking games in a library setting. Think of it as a book club, but for video games.
We recently concluded a 14-week local multiplayer series, which featured everything from Sophie Houlden's unreleased, steampunk jousting game There Shall be Lancing to the locally-designed (and free to download) Field-1.
Our next series at Muhlenberg Library features Die Gute Fabrik's recently-released Sportsfriends. Inspired by game compilations such as Epyx's Summer Games and Nintendo's Wii Sports, it features four distinct takes on local multiplayer.
All events listed take place in the community room of the Muhlenberg Library and begin at 3:30 p.m. For ages 12 to 18.
