# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Playful Mind Society: Trust vs. Control
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: We’re teaming up with our favorite local game nerds at Village Meeple to host our very first collaborative game night at the bookstore.

This month’s theme? Trust vs. Control ?

Which sounds serious … until you’re side-eyeing your friend over a deck of cards.

Here’s how it works:
• A quick, 15-minute kickoff to set the stage
• An hour of wildly fun, slightly suspicious gameplay
• Then snacks + stories about who betrayed whom and why

You won’t just play the games — you’ll feel the moments when trust wobbles and control creeps in. (And yes, we’ll absolutely talk about it after.)

Your guide for the evening is Professor Michael Lane Bruner — internationally known expert on persuasion and human character — who promises to keep it lighthearted.

Limited space. Big laughs. Mild psychological unraveling.
