Fall Events Line-Up!

Fall Events Line-Up!

The leaves are turning and fall is here! And with it, the last of 2021 is coming up fast. We've got a solid line-up of events ready to help you get through the winter months. Wanna know what's happening? Read on and find out more!

October - December Schedule of Events

As with our previous blog, we do want to begin this section with a short note regarding our Covid-19 Protocols. While we will be increasing our capacity cap (more on that below), proof of vaccination is still required to play at our tables and masking up is mandatory in the store. For more information on our logic and reasoning behind all that, please check out our updated Covid-19 response blog here.

As we head towards the end of our year, our line-up is gonna stay pretty much the same as it was in July, August, and September, with a couple of notable exceptions that we'll get into in just a bit. But for those of you just joining us, here's a quick reminder / rundown of what our monthly, weekly, and other one-shot events are.

Monthly Events

  • Narrative Games Northwest (Monthly on the first Monday of every month at 6 PM)
  • Queer Geek Board Game Meetup (Usually on the second Saturday of every month, but in November it's gonna get a double-billing as part of the Extra Life Marathon)
  • XL Bears Board Game Meetup (Monthly on the second Sunday)

Weekly Events

    Higher Capacity Caps

    Thanks to everyone's dedication and willingness to mask up and get vaccinated, we're able to raise the capacity cap! The new capacity limit beginning Monday, October 11 is between 40-44 people playing in the shop. Please note that due to supply chain issues, the current draft cap for events will remain at 32 for the time being. This cap will vary based on the types of games being played and the general level of foot traffic in the store.

    As with our previous capacity cap, we'll be re-evaluating it on a monthly basis. If things look good and we haven't had any issues with the current level of safety protocols, then we'll raise it up a little higher! We're so close to full capacity, so keep masking up, and get vaccinated so you can come join us for events!   

    November 6-7 - Queer Geek Seattle Extra Life Marathon

    Looking to help contribute to a good cause? Wanna play board games? This fall, the folks from Queer Geek Seattle are partnering with us to host their Extra Life Marathon event! For 12 hours a day (10 AM - 10 PM) Saturday and Sunday they'll be here playing board games and raising money for the Children's Miracle Network of Hospitals.
