MIGHT be missing next week so I'm going to pack as much of this as I can in here now.
Next week, Shaun and I will be out of town at GAMA (Game Manufacturers Association) Expo. Ash and Rudy will be holding down the fort with our new team members, Aidan (he/they) and Ky (they/them).
Last Week's Recap
Episode 5 of Critical Community Podcast came out last Thursday. Meet Nick Vanaria. Nick is a south-sider, husband, father, woodworker, and gamer.
I enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about him, and I think you will too.
Highlights & New Stock
Kid's D&D is BACK on February 28th!!
Nick, our dear wood-working friend from this past week's podcast made Critical Grind these beautiful Ticket to Ride train and card holders. I posted about them when I played, for the first time, a few weeks ago and a lot of you were really excited about these boards. Nick has made 5 more, sets of 5, and have donated them to Critical Grind. I am going to give them to the first 5 interested to donated $25 or more to our Kommunity Chest fund at the cafe.
For those who don't know, the Kommunity Chest is a reloadable gift card that we keep behind the counter for anyone who is on a fixed income, disability, or simply unable to afford being able to "pay to play". They can ask to use the Kommunity Chest for their play fee. This card was created by our dear friends at Liquid Kourage Entertainment and has been sustained since May by our community.
We still have our limited edition Critical Grind Sleeves available.
Any magic players looking for a new special sleeve for those commanders, or Lorcana players need something for those Enchanteds, make sure you stop in and get your limited print Critical Grind Little Toast Guy sleeve. They're only $1 each and we won't be printing more of this one. Once they're gone, they're gone.
