Board Games at the Law Library

The Law Library has paired with the Columbia Strategic Simulation Society (CSSS) to offer you the chance to check out board games for use at your next game night!

Here is the full list of the games available to borrow.

Two things to keep in mind - 

  1. Please return the games promptly so they are available for other students and for CSSS use.
  2. Please let the Law Library know if you come across any damaged or missing pieces by completing this 4-question form, so we can make sure they are in working order for the next person who wants to play.
