Detroit UNO Social + Tournament | The Front Room Social Club
Meet Detroit founders, business owners, independent professionals & people with ideas over UNO, pizza, and real conversation.
Come spend your Friday evening with The Front Room Social Club.
The Front Room Social Club brings Metro Detroit founders, business owners, entrepreneurs, independent professionals, and people with ideas together to get to know one another, share what they’re working on, and support each other along the way. It is free to join for invitations and community news; this event is ticketed separately.
Join us for UNO, pizza, friendly competition, and time to talk with the people around your table. Whether you’re running a business, working independently, or figuring out where to start, you’re welcome here. Come on your own or bring a friend.
How the night works
- Check in between 5:30 and 6:00 PM, pick up your player card, and find your first assigned table.
- Play three qualifying rounds, with new table assignments and quick introductions along the way. Each 20-minute block includes introductions, 15 minutes of scored play, and time to record scores.
- The six players with the lowest combined scores advance to the final table. Everyone else can watch, enjoy casual games, or keep connecting.
- A champion will be crowned and awarded a prize. We’ll close with a group photo and an invitation to stay connected with The Front Room Social Club.
We’re playing classic UNO—because stacking Draw Fours is how friendships end. 😂
We’ll walk you through everything before play, with instructions at each table.
Pizza from The Rectory
Pizza from The Rectory Detroit is included with your ticket. We’ll pause the cards for a dedicated pizza and conversation break before returning to play.
The Rectory is our pizza provider next door. The event itself takes place in The Congregation Detroit’s Fellowship Hall on the lower level.
