Anytime indoor / weather day

Rain day hang games

When the park plan dies, open one board: a zero-gear opener, a table or skill mid-round, and a short finale so the afternoon still feels intentional.

Unofficial Studboards activity hub for weather-day hosting. Keep formats apartment-safe, agree quiet rules if neighbors are close, and keep any optional STUD amount group-agreed before play.
