Our phone problems are finally fixed! Feel free to call us and we’ll answer the phone.

We will now announce our 2 frequent buyer plans. The first one works for everyone: show us receipts from our Jenkintown store for $70 of full priced items, and you’ll get 10% off your entire next purchase (some restrictions apply).

The second plan for our boardgame players is called First Teacher (although we may rename it when we figure out something catchy) .

  1. Buy a game at our Jenkintown store, be sure to save the receipt
  2. Be the first one to play the game in store, while teaching it to a new player (solitaire games do not count). We will mark your receipt for the game.
  3. Get a 20% discount off your next board game.

For now any game is available for this program. After the First Teacher has taught a game, we’ll add it to the list of game that are no longer count for the discount. Our goal is to see how many unique games we can have run in the store for the rest of the year.
We’ve got 2 things scheduled for this Saturday. At noon, a new GM is hosting the D&D Game Day for Neverwinter. You’ll make be making characters as part of the event. The characters can be used for the D&D Encounters that we will start running on Wednesday nights.

At 5PM, a Z-Man demo rep will be on site to show us the board game Grimoire.

We need to find a less expensive way to do t-shirts, the Cafe Press ones are too expensive for the pre-order quantity I am getting.

Instead of a t-shirt, you can go with an embroidered store logo like the one I’ve been wearing. For $20 each I could order a batch of these shirts from Queensboro. They are definitely stylish enough to wear at any business casual job.

We are still calling Monday “Multiplayer Monday” we’ll see if it turns into a thing. If you have a better suggestion, we have extra tables for you to see if it works.

The Coke machine finally arrived at our new space at 491 Old York Rd, Jekintown, PA 19046.

We’ve been having problems with our phones all week. Sometimes we have dialtone, and sometimes we can talk without getting cut off. Verizon is working on the problem

We had a couple of pre-orders for t-shirts, if anyone else is interested, I’ll try to get us to critical mass this week. The bigger the group order, the cheaper the shirts from CafePress. You can see the shirts (or order them if you are over-eager) at http://www.cafepress.com/SeventhDimensionGames

Instead of a t-shirt, you can go with an embroidered store logo like the one I was wearing yesterday. For around $20 I could order a batch of these shirts from Queensboro. They are definitely stylish enough to wear at any business casual job.

Monday, we have two players for Dystopian Wars. If you are interested in the game, feel free to show up and see how it plays.

This Friday FNM is Two Headed Giant.

Saturday we will be getting a demo of Inevitable at 4:00, from one of the game’s creators.

Too much to post

We received orders from 4 distributors today. While juggling all of that we failed to take pictures.

We did get 1 copy of Hunt for Gollum in. Since that is less than we pre-ordered, that copy is first come first served (more will be here on Tuesday) .

Layout changes

We were contacted this week about a virus warning on the blog – that’s why we are back at the default layout. Let us know if we broke anything when we did the full re-install this morning.

Ongoing sales

From time to time, we set up a sales table, and put all the slow moving games on it. When we do that, we also post those items to our Amazon shop. The prices on Amazon don’t always reflect the prices we have in store. The ones in store are less, because we don’t have to pay Amazon’s fees when we complete the sale.

Sale on Uncharted Seas

Uncharted Seas

Spartan Games has announced that they will be re-sculpting all their bases fleets for Uncharted Seas this fall. Therefore, all the old minis are now 30% off! If you are interested in a particular starter fleet – grab it now – we won’t restock them until the new sculpts are out, and Spartan Games are known for missing deadlines.
