Some Gift Recommendations...

So, by now the reality of things should be setting in. You are going to have to buy some stuff for people for the holiday. If one of those people happens to be a gamer, let us do the hard part for you. Pick something off this list and it is a guaranteed "WIN". Also, check out the gift guide on the front page of our website!

Gift 1: When all else fails and you can't decide or just don't know what your gamer wants; Gift Card. We can sell you a gift card for any amount $5.00 and above!



Gift 2: Have a new MTG player on your list? Grab a Return to Ravnica Holiday Gift Box. It comes with some packs of the new set and a super cool storage system; you can't go wrong. Magic players love packs and once you open enough packs, you have to have a place to put all the cards.












Gift 3: Game of Thrones is a hot property right now. Choose from our wide variety of AGOT products. If your gamer is a George R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R. Martin fan, this may be for them.

Board Game:











Card Games:





















Gift 4: Dark Vengeance 2 Player Starter. It will bring any 40K player up to date with the newest version of the rules and give them some cool new minis to boot. Also, please note that the miniatures do not come assembled or painted. If the tabletop gamer in question prefers Warhammer Fantasy, we also have a 2 player starter for that game... or we can jump ship to a completely different game system; grab the WARMACHINE 2 player starter for any steampunk miniature enthusiasts out there!













Gift 5: We have about a million different board, card, miniature and RPG games in stock at any given time. Come in and talk it over with us and I'll bet we can find the proper gift to fit anyone on your list!

Black Fridayest

And.... rounding out our Black Friday sales will be:

For every $30 you spend on stuff we will give you a FREE set of dice or a FREE GW/P3 paint pot. This one is cumulative, so if you spend $60, you get 2 free items, $90, 3 free items and so on. Once again, this deal won't work with store credit and it is only good while supplies last.

Our individual Pathfinder Battles miniature packs will be $1.50 each all day long. Be sure you have minis for all the things your party may encounter!

Board games will also be getting some love; I'm sure you all were very worried about that. We're going to have a sale table that we will be moving items to periodically throughout the day. Items on the table will be marked down anywhere from 30 to 70 percent and will probably include a multitude of board games as well as other neat stuff.

Monday: New Stuff!

There are a few cool new things gracing our shelves this week. Here are our Monday arrivals to brighten your day:

Sentinels of the Multiverse Card Game... the original Sentinels of the Multiverse was very well received and now we have the next game in the popular series (not to confuse anyone, this is a brand new stand alone game based in the same universe).

Also new on the shelf is the Flames of War - Open Fire! starter box. It provides everything you'll need to start gaming with 15mm WWII minis. Not only do you get a super sweet full color rulebook, but also about 120 minis, terrain, dice and some other useful tidbits.

Circle Gargantuan!

Here's a nifty comparison photo to give you an idea of the Woldwrath's scale.

This thing is monstrous and we've got it in stock now.

It wants you to buy it, if you don't you're going to wake up tonight with a Woldwrath's glowing eyes in the darkness at the end of your bed. You should probably do what it wants.

Used Warhammer

So, since Games Workshop has nixed all metal miniatures in favor of the more popular plastic (and finecast -  arguable?) we've decided to start moving all our metal minis to our used case. The first ones to be transferred over are all of the Fantasy metal blister packages. 

They're all roughly half off the original marked price. As we sell through the blister packs, we will start adding the metal boxed sets to the used shelves (both Fantasy and 40K).

Come by and check out our expanded used selection!

New Stuff and Restocks Too

Our shelves are abound with cool new things this week and there is still more to come!

From where I'm sitting right now I can see Spartacus, a brand new board game set in ancient Rome. It
borrows some artwork from the television series but doesn't seem to be subject to the pitfalls of other TV based board games. It's got an 8.something on BoardGameGeek which is very respectable.



Also hitting the shelves today is Dungeon!, a new D&D fantasy board game. Dungeon! is a family friendly, slightly simplified version of Dungeons and Dragons. Players get to choose a class and take off to adventure through the dungeon. The winner is the player who manages to bring out the most treasure from the adventure. This game is also sitting atop the BGG Hotness list this week!


The much anticipated Elminster's Forgotten Realms is also out this week. This supplement was done by the creator of the setting, Ed Greenwood.

As far as restocks go, we've got several more copies of Super Dungeon Explore, Gloom and about a million Pathfinder Map Packs.

Our main order comes in tomorrow so expect more to come this week!

Seasons - A Fantastic New Board Game

This game is awesome, you should definitely give it a try!



The first shipment sold out quick but never fear, we have it restocked now and we're ready to play. 

Draft cards, roll dice and manage resources! It doesn't get any better than that. AND... most importantly (according to me) it plays fairly quick. Come by and check out our demo copy and if you love it, we'll gladly sell you a brand new one. If we're not busy you can probably even get us to demo it for you!
