Organizations
Video Games Club
The purpose of Video Games Club is to gather people who are interested in video and tabletop games. Members will gather in order to socialize and discuss their interests with others who share their interest in video and tabletop games. They can also practice and compete with one another through the club. We want to spread the knowledge and skills of video and tabletop games to new and veteran players alike. We shall strive to represent the University of Miami while making efforts to impact and expand the South Florida gaming community.
