Love, Peace & Spades:
A Rather Fly Game Night
It’s our anniversary! Join us at The LINE Hotel, as we celebrate our second successful year with our annual open play game night and official Spades tournament dubbed, ‘The Love, Peace & Spades Invitational’.
For anyone looking to pull up and bond over delicioso food, flavorful drinks, and classic Black family heirlooms, this is an event not to miss!
Love, Peace & Spades™ is a community of creatives, professionals, and grassroots organizers who curate free, donation-based game experiences to honor, celebrate, and cherish our Black family heirlooms (e.g. Uno, Bid Whist, Tunk (or Tonk), Dominoes, and, of course, Spades).
In addition to gameplay, we offer pop-up experiences, skills-based education, tech/VR integration, a comprehensive directory of Black-owned businesses, game developers, and makers, plus an annual Spades tournament and festival for enthusiastic players.
About Us
🖤✌🏽♠️
Our mission is to curate Love, Peace & Spades™ as a modern-day “hush harbor,” a protected space created by and for Black people where we can promote intergenerational communion through music, tech, education, and play.
Love, Peace & Spades™ events and programming address social isolation and trauma commonly associated with past gaming experiences by reestablishing new and healthier relationships to gameplay through ‘Spades Academy,™ a curriculum-based activation for players to develop skills and strategies.
In the span of two years, our organization has managed to curate safe and inclusive spaces for over 7,000 individuals throughout the Los Angeles area to meet and connect with one another from across the table. We celebrated these strides towards community wellness by enacting Love, Peace, and Spades Day as an annual event.
