Hi!  I'm one of the folks that helps setup and run the GAMES! event, so
let me clarify our expectations for munchkins (no, not Steve Jackson
munchkins, young human munchkins).  We do welcome folks with kids to come
and participate, but we do not offer childcare for any age during the
event.  Parents who wish to bring their children along are expected to be
responsible for keeping them safe and entertained.

The event is held in a gymnasium with concrete floors and carpeted walls,
so there is room for kids to run around and play, but we do want parents
to keep them under control so they don't disturb other folks playing board
games (and we request that they be kept in the gym for their own safety
and to minimize the impact on the building).  Depending on who attends and
whether they bring their kids, there might be other kids to play with, but
we still ask that parents maintain order.  We also don't provide any
kid-targeted games to play (my kid isn't old enough to play yet, otherwise
I'd probably bring some), so you'll need to bring along stuff for them to
play with.

All that said, folks are welcome to come and go as they wish, so it might
not hurt to pop in and check it out sometime, with or without kids.
Thanks for your interest in our event and we are looking forward to a fun
time this Saturday!

-Bob Mosey

Hey Mike,

   I have gone to several of these - and they have a variety of games. Mostly
whatever games people bring. The church usually has a fooseball table and ping
pong and darts set up - otherwise it's all what people bring.

There are usually a lot of younger kids here, and normally some 'younger' games.
There is usually a couple toddler-age kids there to play with. I quite often
bring my seven year old (well, he just turned 8 now).

But that being said, if you plan on playing a more in-depth game requiring
concentration, you will find it tricky to keep an eye on the kids (especially
younger ones) and play your game.  But, nothing lost if you try - stop by, stay
as long as you like! Maybe bring some games your kids can play, or play with
other kids.

I will probably be there this weekend with my boys (ages 8 and 12).

Do you have something for young children? ( 2 - 5 years of age)?
