How to Play and Win!

Pick out a game from our Play and Win shelf for a chance to try a new game and maybe even take it home with you!

Each time you check out one of the games on the Play and Win list, you’ll receive an entry form that you’ll need to complete and return when you return the game. All players who participate will be eligible to enter. The drawing for Play and Win will take place on Sunday afternoon – you’ll need to be there in order to claim your prize.

The game you play is the one you are eligible to enter to win.

A non-playing teacher of a game may also get an entry for the game, you’ll just need the group to confirm with the librarian that they were the teacher for the playthrough.

Play and Win Rules & Eligibility

  1. Before playing a Play and Win game, you should notify the Board Game Librarian if anyone playing wants to participate in the drawing.
  2. There can only be one non-playing teacher per play session.
  3. Regardless of whether or not you check out the play and win copy of the game, you can be entered to win the game. We’ll ask if you’d like to be entered!
