⭐ Now for the good news ⭐

We are not going anywhere!!! We will be anxiously awaiting the time when we schedule our next board gaming convention. Board game development has not stopped, our Vault of board games continues to expand and our love of board games just keeps growing. (Attached are just a “few games” that we have added to the Vault over the past couple weeks)

All tickets will be automatically refunded in full via Eventbrite. We will submit the request to Eventbrite this evening (8/21). Please look for an email from Eventbrite with confirmation.

I know you are probably as disappointed as I am, but I know we will have another opportunity to get our game on in the future. May you keep rolling 20’s!
