We labor on Labor Day

Posted on by September 5, 2016

Yes, we are open, because we know that, after the barbecue, what you really want to do is kill Uncle Earl’s goblins in a game of Smash Up. Or have some laughs playing Codenames. Or save the world in your first game of Pandemic Legacy.

Or spend the day hiding from Aunt Sally by digging through our bulk bin, looking for the 400 bulk cards you can put in a 300 count box (they fit unsleeved) for $5.

Planeswalkers for Diversity

Posted on by August 30, 2016

Hello! Back in May we started a local chapter of Planeswalkers for Diversity. For a variety of reasons, in July we had very low attendance and we decided to take a bit of time off.

Recently, several people have asked when it will start up again. What we’ve discovered is that our official Meetup group ended up with people we have never seen, so I don’t know how to judge its usefulness. So, if you are interested, please take a moment to join our mailing list to let us know you are waiting for the event to start back up.
