Zulama Happenings

The Zulama Evolution of Gaming group has been busy exploring a wide variety of games and their origins recently. Using their creativity, they have modified historical games like Checkers, Tic-Tac-Toe and Farkle.

Most recently they have explored the digital gaming world through a Voxel based game called VOXATRON.  Completely customizable worlds are being created by this group to challenge even the most confident of gamers here at Wilkinsburg.
