Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWB

The Grid @ Baruch

Hey guys my name is Naomi, if you totally forgot about me! I chose to join a club called The Grid, which is basically a tabletop game club. They are a club where many people who have many different interests get together and play competitive and fun games from 12:40 to 2:30. Many of the people there are all in all types of clubs ranging from, United Nations International Children’s Fund(UNICEF), The Japanese Anime Asylum or the Japan club. I believe that this club is a great opportunity to bond with many other students at Baruch and you should definitely check it out. 

 

At our first meeting Tuesday September 5th, we got together and introduced ourselves. The president Adam(guy in the middle of my picture) is a really cool guy who loves this club. He believes all people need to come together and enjoy life playing these games, even if you don’t have much interest in some of them. The people in The Grid are much like a family, and will continue to be as classes graduate and move on. At our meeting last week, we played  game called Werewolf. Werewolf, also called “Mafia” is a simple game for a large group of people (seven or more.) It requires no equipment besides cards or some bits of paper; you can play it just sitting in a circle. I’d call it a party game, except that it’s a game of accusations, lying, bluffing, second-guessing, assassination, and mob hysteria. It’ a really entertaining game to play and I really enjoyed bonding with the whole group, even though I totally got killed as a werewolf once(peep the Teen Wolf hoodie). 

I think you should all really pull up to the Grid one day and enjoy yourselves. The club creates a welcoming environment and take you into their open arms.

  1. Hey Naomi! I didn’t know that a club like this even existed before reading your blog. It sounds super fun, a great way to spend free time, and a nice way to meet some new friends. I’d probably learn about a bunch of new games too. The Grid seems like a fun counterpart to all the academic and stressful clubs that Baruch has to offer. Have fun!

  2. Hey this sounds look a really cool club, and I didn’t even know Baruch offered it before or that this type of club was really a thing. It seems like it would be really fun to join and to learn about new games and meet new people.

  3. I will definitely stop by when I get the chance! I have a thing for board games and games in general, it brings people together without the use of technology. I actually recently started a little collection of board games at home so I am excited to drop by the club sometime.
