It's a welcoming space with experienced gamers on hand to explain the games, making it ideal for those who want to learn more about this hobby or are a bit too shy to jump in. For the experienced gamers, it's an opportunity to play games that typically require more players.<\/p>\n<p>St Jean explains that one of the event's highlights is a quiz hosted by a podcaster, providing a way to gauge the gaming community's enthusiasm for such events.<\/p>\n<p>\"We're kind of like testing the waters to see if people are still willing to come to this kind of event and what they would like in the future,\" St-Jean said.<\/p>\n<p>For those wondering \"What exactly is a Weekend Ludique?\" St-Jean clarifies that it is a dedicated weekend of gaming and fun: it's an extended period of social activities where people can immerse themselves in games, make friends, enjoy food and beverages, and discover new games.<\/p>\n<p>St-Jean said that all funds raised are redistributed to the event's partners and a chosen charity.

St-Jean mentions that there's really no age limit, although children under 13-14 must be accompanied by an adult.<\/p>\n<p>Estrie Joue 2023 will take place from Nov. 3-5 in Sherbrooke. Tickets can be purchased at the door or on their website, with options for single days or the entire weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to the story below:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estrie Joue is back with their 2023 edition of the tabletop gaming event at the S\u00e9minaire de Sherbrooke.
