About the Game of the Week Series
The goal of our Game of the Week series is to introduce the community to Designer Games. To help accomplish this, each week we'll have the Game of the Week set up on a table in the front of the store so we can teach you how to play.
To encourage participation, we'll be giving away a game or expansion via drawing to a lucky participant of that week's gaming lessons.
You can participate and earn an entry in the week's drawing by either 1) requesting a demo of the Game of the Week, 2) letting us teach you how to play, or 3) playing the game at the store.
Please spread the word to help us make these events a success.
Store Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
