Games & Noodles Night

Tenth Tale Games and Lil Devil Noodles are teaming up for a spooky season night at Open Test Kitchen in Oakland Chinatown! Come for the games, the noodles, or both!

Tenth Tale will have a table of curated board games out, with extra spooky picks for October: easy-to-learn party games, strategic favorites, and a few titles you won't find on most shelves. Bring a favorite of your own if you want!

We'll also be running Blood on the Clocktower, a social deduction game where a demon hides among the townsfolk and anyone might be lying. It's best with a big group, so grab some friends and join in around [7pm].

These nights tend to draw a genuinely mixed crowd of board game folks, food folks, a lot of queer people, and Oakland neighbors. Come as you are, alone or with friends.

Lil Devil Noodles will be serving handmade Taiwanese/Chinese style noodles: Cumin Lamb and "Lil Devil Noodles" (sizzling scallion oil noodles). Vegetarian and omnivore options available. OTK's bar will be open and pouring cocktails.

Whether you've played hundreds of games or none, drop in anytime between 6 and 9. No tickets required. This listing is just so you can RSVP and get reminders.

When: Friday, Oct 23, 6–9 PM (BoTC at 7pm)
Where: Open Test Kitchen, 528 8th St., Oakland (Oakland Chinatown)
Cost: Suggested $5 cover at the door; food and drinks for purchase
