We’ve continued to hold our Board Game Nights online, as e-Board Game Nights! This way, we can still meet new people and have fun, while staying safely at home! Our latest e Board Game Night was July 8th.
Unfortunately, due to the spread of COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic, we weren’t able to host any in-person events for a few months. However, on June 19, we were able to host the very first JOMO JET eBoard Game Night! Although it was a bit smaller than our usual board game events, everyone was able to enjoy online games, language exchange, and cultural exchange all from the safety of our homes.
Throughout the night, participants were able to play games such as Apples to Apples, Scattegories, Skribblio, and Kodenames.
Most games were played in English, but we even had some chances to play games in Japanese!
JOMO JET is constantly thinking of new ways to host events during these difficult times, so hopefully we’ll have something exciting for you in the near future!
“Kodenames” is just one of the four fantastic online games we featured at our first ever eBoard Game event!Look at all those happy, smiling faces! All brought together through the power of JOMO JET and our online Discord server. Isn’t technology wonderful?
This holiday season brought Board Game Night to Tomioka! People of various ages came out to enjoy a round of games at the Lifelong Learning Center, just the right venue to practice language exchange, learn new games, and make new friends! Even Santa Claus came for a visit!
