Happy De-stress Friday everyone!

We know - there's still a lot of reason for stress around here (and those of you under evac alert and order are still in our thoughts), but we want to help you de-stress by offering FREE UNLIMITED GAME PLAY EVERY FRIDAY IN AUGUST!

We also want to share a new product with you 📯Our housemade SETI Game Upgrade: Sun LED Light! The perfect addition to your SETI gameplay to help really set the mood ☀️ Only $9.99, plus it comes with an extra battery!

New to our in-Lounge Collection this weekend:

Lift Off🚀

For 2-4 astronauts; recommended ages 12+; suggested play time is 60-120m

1950/1960: The race into space is in full swing! We're making great progress on the techniques for supplying astronauts and space-ready machines, for optimizing launch conditions, and of course for designing the much-needed rockets. All this to explore the sheer vastness of space.

But in Lift Off, not only are two superpowers competing for the most glorious milestones of space travel, no, we players are also very involved. In this game, we each play a private space agency that wants to develop in their own areas. We must hire specialists, improve our rockets, and expand our capabilities because soon we have to decide which missions we want to carry out and what we want to bring into space. Only those who plan ahead and properly manage the resources available will win this race to the stars...

Babylon 🌺🛕⛲

For 2-4 players who love strategic building; recommended ages 8+; suggested play time is 40-60m

In Babylon, you take on the role of an eminent architect. Dig the quarry for the best materials, and use them wisely to build your gardens. At the end of the game, the player who unveils the most impressive design before the king will be declared the winner and crowned the greatest architect in the kingdom. Although Babylon is accessible to the whole family, it is also very popular with heavy gamers, due to a large number of optimization possibilities.

And Black Forest 🏞️🐷🐄

For 1-4 players who love trying new game mechanisms; recommended ages 14+; suggested play time is 60-120m
In Black Forest, you start out with a small domain in need of new buildings and livestock. You’ll travel from village to village, to enlist the aid of the best specialists. Exploiting the abilities of these specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g. ponds and fields), and build a variety of buildings, which come in four types. Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.

⭐Don't forget⭐

This Sunday is Miniature Paint Day! BYOM (Bring Your Own Miniatures) & we'll supply some paints, primers, & paintbrushes! Only $8 pp and includes Unlimited Game Play so you can play games in between coats!

Saturday, Aug 22nd is our D&D Prison Break One Shot with DM Rodney 🐲🧙‍♂️🧝⚔️💣⛓️ Only 4 spots left! Register online or in-Lounge by Aug 20th!

Come check us out this weekend! We have more games, which means we needed to acquire more shelving! Come check out our new games layout 👀😍🎲♟️🃏🧩

We also have a bunch of new board games available for purchase, including your old favourites like Catan and Ticket to Ride, but also new favourites you have yet to discover, like Sagrada, Magical Athlete, & Dorfromantik!
Don't forget - we have most (if not all) the games we sell also available in our in-Lounge Collection, so you can try them before you buy 'em via our Unlimited Game Play - only $8 per person!

New to our in-Lounge Collection (and available for purchase): SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence 🛸👽🪐🌌

In SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, 1-4 players lead a scientific institution tasked with searching for traces of life beyond planet Earth. The game draws inspiration from current or emerging technologies and efforts in space exploration. Players will explore nearby planets and their moons by launching probes from Earth while taking advantage of ever-shifting planetary positions. Decide whether to land on their surfaces to collect valuable samples or stay in orbit for a broader survey. Additionally, by directing your telescopes to gaze into distant star systems, you may detect traces of alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets, and collect promising data to examine and study back home.
SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence plays in 5 rounds, and pays homage to space and planetary exploration, astronomy, the ongoing search for signs of life in the vastness of space, and efforts to understand the nature of life in the universe. Recommended ages 14+; suggested play time is 40m/player.

Speaking of Unlimited Game Play - we're covering it every Friday in August to help everyone de-stress and prepare for the upcoming school year 🎉🙌🫶🎲 Come de-stress & enjoy yourselves with some board gaming fun!
