Once again, the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library became a place where emotions come alive, team spirit is born, and the true magic of gaming reigns. The 4th Board Game Festival "Mykolaivska Chip" brought together children, youth, and adults, proving that board games are not just entertainment, but also a space for communication, development, creativity, and making new friends.
Throughout the day, participants discovered dozens of board games, competed in chess and checkers, solved puzzles, tested their skills in role-playing, adventure, and ecological games, explored robotics, and took part in psychological quests and interactive activities.
