Play Something New with us every Friday night!

Our Play Something New board game demo nights are a perfect opportunity to relax, learn a new game, and get involved with our ever-growing board gaming community! We will be featuring and teaching a different game each week.

Here’s How It Works:

Sign up for a Demo: We will have several tables of game demos for our Featured Game running from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Demo experiences will last around 30 minutes and will go over the basic rules of the game and several turns of play. Games may be limited to a certain number of turns/ rounds to allow for everyone to get a seat at a demo throughout the night. Demo sign-ups will cut off at 8:30.

Sale and Raffles: Our Featured Game will be on sale for 20% off during the event for anyone who participated in a demo! In addition, some open copies of the game will be raffled off once the demos are finished for the night.

Open Board Gaming: In addition to the demo…..hang out and play! Tables will be available for open board gaming until our Game Room closes up (around 9:45 pm). Bring some games with you to play or get in on a game with other board gamers. In addition, we will have some open copies of popular board games on hand to try during the event!

Cost: The cost for the event is a $10 “Credit Swap” (you’ll get $10 in store credit back with your entry!)

Tonight’s Featured Game: Soda Jerk

"In Soda Jerk, you’ll be dealt a hand of delicious soda ingredient cards, including strawberry, blueberry, banana, kiwi, and orange. On your turn, either:

1. Play a card face down in front of one of the taps (which are also labeled strawberry, blueberry, banana, kiwi, and orange)
2. Flip over a face down card

Play continues until a player starts their turn with three cards left in hand, all players flip over cards consecutively, or all cards on the table are face-up. At this point, determine the final value of all taps: reveal any remaining face-down cards and add up all matching flavor cards while subtracting all non-matching cards. A tap can be worth negative points!

Finally, tally up your score. Each card left in your hand is worth points equal to the final value at the matching tap. So, if you ended with two strawberry cards and the tap value of strawberry was 8, you get 16 points.

Try to get the most points while making your opponents go negative!"
