Tonights games - Mansions of Madness and Snow Tails

Can you explore Arkham and discover the mysteries of the mansion without going mad? Play one of 8 different investigators exploring the mansion, looking for clues while trying to maintain their sanity.

If you want something a little less stressful, try racing sled dogs through Alaska, trying to get to the finish line first without wrecking your sled crashing into trees or the cliffs bordering the track!

Defend the realm as King Aurthur and his knights of the round table against Mordred and the Dragon, discover the grail and lead Camelot to an age of enlightenment in this co-operative board game. Will you defend against the Celts, fight against the catapults sieging the city, fight the black knight or search for the grail? Teamwork is critical in this game, so plan carefully every turn or the forces of darkness will overwhelm you. As always, tonight's game and its expansion is on sale - 10% off retail price, 25% for club card owners.

Automobile and Killer Bunnies tonight!

I won't be at the store tonight thanks to an opportunity to see a Red Wings game, but the games must go on!

In Automobile go back to the birth of the auto industry in this game, building up your factories, hiring sales men, and advertising to sell the most cars and make the most money in the 4 turns before the game is over!

If you don't feel like selling cars, play a cute little bunny who slaughters all of the rest of the bunnies around him in the search for the magic carrot! Gather as many carrots as you can, as you won't know which one is the magic carrot until the end of the game!

Remember that there is a tournament for Warhammer 40k tomorrow with a $10 entry fee and a $100 store credit first prize! Sign in is at 11:30, games start at 12:30.
