So much fun at our Community Games Night with Sal

So much fun at our Community Games Night with Sal @frank_ditto 🤣🤣 A special free holiday class for our members, it was (to quote Sal) really cool to play games with a bunch of folks who literally signed up just to play games.

Please enjoy these hilarious videos and feel free to put your guesses as to what’s going on in the comments! 🤪
