Board Games Night with Friends
Organise a games night, learn the rules, play and argue about cheating in casual Spanish.
In Spain friends often meet at someone's piso on a Friday night: one person hosts, the others bring drinks or snacks, and dinner is late, around ten. Everyone uses tú and vosotros, and the banter is loud. The cards follow three friends in Zaragoza from the plan in the group chat to the last game and the clean-up.
