We’re Back – Tuesday June 16th! change the world
We have now reopened!
To ensure the safety of our staff and customers, seating is limited to maintain social distancing. Parties of more than 6 people will be split between multiple tables, and we require customers to wear face-masks at all times while not at their tables. Due to the limited seating we encourage calling ahead to reserve space when possible on weekends.
We are committed to maintaining a safe and sanitary space. All surfaces will be cleaned and sanitized between customers, and games will be sanitized and quarantined after use. We ask that customers wear a face-mask at their tables while not eating and drinking to help reduce contamination of products.
Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to gaming with everyone soon!
Along with reopening for social distanced on site gaming we are now also offering the ability to bring games home with you!
Grab some games on your way home or call ahead to reserve games for pickup using our Rental Games List. We are always happy to suggest some great new games for you to try!
Games will be sanitized and quarantined between rentals for you safety.
Check our Board Game Rentals page for more details!
