Eureka!'s Vacation Game Programming

A banner that looks like a game board with cards, meeples, and a pathway that reads "Vacation Game Programming" with the Eureka! Puzzles & Games logo above it. It also reads "Game filled days for ages 10-15," and uses the Eureka! lime green and dark blue.

The Classic (Strategy Board Games)

A fan favorite, Eureka's! Vacation Game Programming has delighted board and card game players since 2008 -- that's fifteen years this year! We transport participants to the world of contemporary strategy games: games that are far more skill than luck, and may call on our powers of reasoning, spatial skills, resource management, negotiation, cooperation, risk management, and deduction. We play a mix of classic Eurogames along with newer releases and party games for the ultimate vacation gaming experience. Have a favorite game to share with others, or looking to learn something new? Players will get to experience both as our counselors are experts at guiding both novice and seasoned players through a variety of different game genres and rulesets.

Programming runs from 10am to 4pm, and is hosted at Knight Moves Café, located at 1402 Beacon St., Brookline. We always encourage families to sign up siblings and friends--though if you're coming to program solo, we promise you'll be leaving with new friends! After all, there's no better way to get to know someone than over a board game.

Dungeons and Dragons

*New in 2023*

Join Eureka! for a self-contained daily Dungeons and Dragons adventure this school vacation! Players new and experienced from ages 10-15 can go on a completely original adventure run by a Eureka! Dungeon Master that will run for about 3 hours total, with a 1/2 hour lunch break (not included in play time). Afterwards players will be able to regroup for 2 hours of general board and card game play to finish off their day. More information about daily adventure themes & character requirements will be provided by our Dungeon Master closer to the start of vacation, though players can be assured they will be able to make their own characters or can choose out of pre-made characters by our DM.

Programming runs from 10am to 4pm and is hosted at Knight Moves Café, located at 1402 Beacon St., Brookline.

MAGIC: THE GATHERING

*New in April 2023*

Magic: The Gathering has been such a popular staple of our Classic Game Vacations that we decided to give this excellent card game its own spotlight! Starting in April 2023, we'll be running a MTG draft using new packs of cards we provide at the start of camp day. Just like our Dungeons & Dragons Program, at 2 pm, we'll shift focus to 2 additional hours of general board game fun! The only catch is that you must already know how to play Magic in order to sign up. We will however teach everyone how to play draft!
