Edgerunners join us for an introductory Cyberpunk RED one-shot campaign. We embrace the chaotic, the quirky, and the dangerously stylish street-level action. No experience necessary!

Be among the first to play the newest Tend expansion: Hive! 🐝 It supercharges everything you love about Tend with new ways to upgrade tools and tasks!

For this tour, we’re asking all attendees to learn the base game before the event by watching the How to Play video linked above. Even if you’ve played Tend before, it’s a great refresher!

Your local host will be there to answer questions, offer guidance, and teach the new Hive expansion material. However, they won’t be expected to run a full base game teach, so coming prepared will help everyone jump into the fun faster. Thanks!!

COOL NEW GAMES!! Order online and pick up in shop!!

SIX SOJOURNS is a short area control game full of tough choices, creative strategy and tactics, and high player interaction. You can customize your experience by playing the six journeys as a campaign or play through each sojourn in order!

CONTAINER is a game where you build factories, produce containers, set prices, negotiate with your rivals, sail across the sea to trade, and (obviously) buy low, and sell high. At least that’s the goal — but can you make it happen?

SLAY THE SPIRE is a co-operative deck-building, dungeon-crawling adventure. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to slay the Spire!
