German Texans in La Grange and all around the German belt loved to gather for a good time, and often played for luck and chance in casino halls and vereine meetings. Learn about the types of gaming that would have been played within German circles, including nine-pin bowling, "42," and Skat.  

All games will be played in the Kreische House formal parlor. Informal tours will also be available.
