Our First Play Along Is Here!

The first Tuesday of every month we normally meet at Urban Winery. We can’t meet up and play some board games nowadays so let’s do it online! Welcome to our first #PlayAlong!

What’s Play Along, you ask? I will select games that can be played remotely and stream it in hopes we can pseudo play together. The games will be ones that don’t need direct interaction and can be played at a later day if you can’t make the live portion.

And just because you can’t make the premiere, doesn’t mean I don’t want to hear your scores!

Be sure to stock up on your favorite drinks, I got mine from Urban Winery. Hopefully most of the games I play can be found at Labyrinth Games & Puzzles.

Labyrinth’s Annual Used Game Sale!

Labyrinth’s Annual Used Game Sale is almost here. It actually starts tomorrow, July 26-27! For those not familiar, people offer up their games they don’t want anymore and they are auctioned/sold for charity. Some of the ways this aids the local community is helping buy games for local teachers and help fund Labyrinth’s school aftercare program & demo library.

They raised over $6,000 last year so you know they get some good stuff. That’s where it should interest you…they get a crazy amount of games and even sealed games. Some notable games from their schedule are Root, Gloomhaven, Risk Onyx EditionAcquire, and thousands more. So there are plenty of good stuff to be found.

More details? Hit the jump!

Small Business Saturday Is Almost Here!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, 11/24, is Small Business Saturday. Why should I be bothering you all with that detail? Well your friendly local game store is most likely a small business! You should think about paying them a visit. If you don’t know what to buy, you can check out current/ongoing list of These 35 Games or you can ask someone who works at your store for some help.  They should be able to point you to some real goodies! Or dice…you can never have too many dice.

I know I’m planning to hit up my local store tomorrow morning, how about you?

Get Some Used Games for Charity!

Labyrinth’s Annual Used Game Sale is just around the corner, like this weekend, July 28-29! Not familiar? At the beginning of this month, a bunch of people (including myself) donated some of games to be auctioned off at the end of this month. Some of the ways this aids the local community is helping buy games for local teachers and help fund Labyrinth’s school aftercare program & demo library.

They raised over $4,700 last year and hopefully they can bring in even more this year. They get a crazy amount of games and even sealed games. Some notable games I’ve heard them offing is HeroQuest w/expansion fully painted, Near & Far sealed, Twilight Imperium 4 sealed, Xenoshyft Dreadmire, and thousands more. So there are plenty of good stuff to be found.
