This Saturday at 1, Bob Fanelli will be running Wargods of Ægyptus. Bob’s games are always fun – no need to know the rules before hand, just show up with some curiosity and a willingness to have fun!
Two of the long awaited games arrived yesterday. Wallenstein was the original inspiration for the game Shogun (conquer lands while keeping your peasants from revolting). A new printing is finally available.
Twlight Imperium: Rex re-implements the mechanics from Dune (which has been long of print).
Included in today’s haul is a pound of dice in a skull and a plush tentacle.
General restocks for the day.
Monday is President’s Day. If you have the day off, feel free to stop in and see us. We have an open box of Pamplona, and we still need someone to open our demo copy of Automobile.
Thursday night we will be running a second L5R sealed event. Everyone will get a chance to play the clan of their choosing.
Sunday we will be having the Magic Game Day, our usual prize format of a pack for all. Sunday’s buy in is mandatory.
We will now be starting the Magic Draft on Wednesdays at 7:00 sharp.
Warmachine War Torn Alliances continues until March 4.

We just added more prizes!
On March 10th we will be running a Pre-Qualifier for World Wide Catan Championship. Winner will receive a free trip to Origins (in Columbus, Ohio May 30-June 3, 2012) to play in the Qualifier. Once there, they can attempt to win a trip to the Championship being held this year in Blue Bell.
$15 per player to enter. Winner will be reimbursed up to $200 for travel expense. Attendance at Origins will be paid for by Mayfair Games. Pre-registration for this event is strongly encouraged. Either leave a comment here, or stop in the store to add your name.
The tournament will start at noon and we expect it to end around 6PM.
We would appreciate players that own the game to bring out their set in case our turn-out is greater than expected.
Just before the mob arrived
Today we got in some new things including Nightfall: Coldest War and the L5R Emperor Edition Starter Decks.
We also got in a bunch of board games that fell out of print and Abacus Spiele has just republished, including Zooloretto Mini, China, Hansa, and Valdora.
We just got in Reiner Knizia’s Kingdoms along with a few restocks of things.
