X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>What can board games teach us about how we
  make decisions\, work together\, and navigate conflict? Come find out at&
 nbsp\;Civics Game Night: a casual evening of games\, food\, and conversati
 on with a civic twist.</p>\n<p>We&rsquo\;ll have three games available\, e
 ach offering a different kind of challenge and level of commitment:</p>\n<
 p><strong>Trial by Trolley:</strong> In this darkly humorous take on the t
 rolley problem\, players work together to decide who gets hit by the troll
 ey. Each round takes about&nbsp\;15&ndash\;20 minutes\, making this a grea
 t option if you want to drop in for a quick game.<br /><br /><strong>Secre
 t Hitler:</strong> A social deduction game where&nbsp\;Liberals and Fascis
 ts&nbsp\;compete to pass their agendas\, while the Fascists work to concea
 l the identity of the Secret Hitler. Expect bluffing\, persuasion\, suspic
 ion\, and plenty of debate. Rounds take about&nbsp\;30&ndash\;60 minutes.<
 br /><br /><strong>Daybreak:</strong> A cooperative game about stopping cl
 imate change. Players work together to build the technologies\, policies\,
  and resilient societies needed to address the climate crisis.&nbsp\;Daybr
 eak takes about 60&ndash\;90 minutes&nbsp\;and offers a hopeful vision of 
 what collective action could accomplish.<br /><br />Whether you&rsquo\;re 
 a dedicated board gamer or someone who hasn&rsquo\;t played since childhoo
 d\, you&rsquo\;re welcome.&nbsp\;No previous experience is required\, and 
 you can choose a game based on how much time you have and what sounds fun.
 </p>\n<p>We'll have&nbsp\;food\, snacks\, and drinks&nbsp\;available throu
 ghout the evening\, so come ready to play\, hang out\, and meet other peop
 le interested in civics and community.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>About the Program<
