The Steel City Games Fest is this weekend! The 24-hour festival of new games will run in Mellon Park, the Shadow Lounge, and the Waffle Shop from noon on Saturday, August 27th, to noon on August 28th. The festival's goal is to celebrate the power of play, revitalize urban space, foster community and explore creativity in unorthodox ways. At this year's festival, 24 games will debut over 24 hours, including urban games like The Signal, an all-night chase played out in the streets and over the radio; new sports like the award-winning Silverball, human-sized pinball played on a hill; and parlor games like Revolucion!, a government-toppling version of Monopoly. The Festival is open to adults and kids 7+. Registration is $5 at the Shadow Lounge, and participants may play as many (or as few) games as they wish. More details are available at the festival website, www.scgf2.com, or at www.obscuregames.org.
