Sip N' Play Game Library
You might have a hard time agreeing on a game with so many selections to consider.

The current collection, which will grow, consists of more than 200 board games. Though the library includes lots of strategy games (like Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne), there are also plenty of kid-pleasing classics, including The Game of Life, Clue, and Pictionary. Little gamers can appreciate choices like Operation and Zingo. An updated list of titles is posted online. If you can't find one you're excited about there, you're welcome to bring games from home.

Super friendly staff members are on hand to assist anyone who needs a little help figuring out some of the more complicated rules.
