Some days are full of monotony, and entertaining actions like board video games may help infuse these days with power and pleasure. In Brazoria County, there are teams devoted to assembly as much as delight of their mutual love of board video games. One such group is the Angleton Board, Card and Dice Gamers.
The group, created by Sharon Barrow and Bryan Grady, meets month-to-month at varied places throughout Brazoria County.
