I don't have a LOT of updates, but I do have a lot of upcoming fun things to tell you about!
Upcoming Events:
Lorcana sales were a hit and I hope we get another allotment soon to get more of you into the game!
If you're already a Lorcana player, sign up for our Lorcana League. It's a very casual game style. We give out points for signing up, for wearing a Disney animated character, and other fun things. The league meets every Sunday from 12pm-3pm. We can typically get 3 matches in each day, 1 match is equal to 3 games.
There is a various selection of games in our retail section that have star stickers on them. They are 15% off right now! We're making room on our shelves for some new games, and have a little extra sales for the expansion into the new space.
Last year we were so caught up with the build-out we missed our family trip to the Bristol Rennaisance Faire. Our family has decided to close on Labor Day so we can visit Faire before it closes for the season. Thank you for understanding.
Blood on the Clocktower has been such a hit, and our Storytellers have been gracious enough to continue volunteering their time, we will be continuing every Saturday through October 21st. Those are the only dates we have scheduled as of right now. So, join us every Saturday from 6pm-11pm for Blood on the Clocktower at Critical Grind. It's free to play with cafe purchases and the first game of the night is always accommodating of new, beginner, players.
We officially have a new game night starting at Skeleton Key Brewery in Woodridge. We'll be there on the first Wednesday of the month as of September 6th.
