Thunderstone - new deck building fantasy card game
Come join us for Game Night at Here Be Books & Games. Make new friends, socialize and have some fun. You can learn a new game or play an old favorite; either way you’re sure to have a good time.

Next Game Night: Saturday, February 6 at 6 p.m.

Where: Here Be Books & Games at 4650 Ladson Road, Suite I, Summerville, SC [map]

What kinds of games do we play?

Here’s a sampling of some of the games we’ve played recently at the store, including Game Nights.

You can also view a list of most of the games we’ve played since March 1, 2009 (we occasionally forget to post plays, so it’s not 100% accurate).

If you have a favorite game you’d like to play, bring it with you.

You don’t have to know a game to play it: we’ll teach you.  I’ve learned at least one new game at every Game Night.  The object is to have fun. We could all use a little more fun in our lives.  Best of all, it’s FREE!

We got a stack of demos in from Fantasy Flight and Asmodee at the end of 2009: so many we still haven’t learned and played them all yet.

There’s never a shortage of stuff to play at Game Night. You’re welcome to bring your favorite game(s) along to play, too!

What to Bring

We often run out of chairs, so please bring folding chair(s) if you have them. Thank you!Bring a folding chair if you have one. Don’t worry if you don’t, just bring yourself.  Drinks and snacks are available for purchase at the store or you can bring your own. Feel free to bring any games you might want to play, too.

Afternoon Game Days - Thursdays 1pm to 5pm, June 11 thru July 2, 2009

Filed under: Game Night, Other Events — Tags: , , — tina @ 4:38 pm

Summer is here. What better way to while away the hot afternoon hours than playing a game in air conditioned comfort? So, to help you have fun and stay cool this summer, we’re introducing Afternoon Game Days at Here Be Books & Games.  Admission is FREE.  Come by yourself* or bring a friend or two along. Adults and kids 10 and up welcome. (*Kids under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.)

Here’s how it works:

You show up and we play games.

What could be easier than that?  Ok, well, I thought a theme might be good, too. So each week we’ll introduce a new set of games.  You don’t have to already know a game to play: we’ll teach you how.  That’s part of the fun: learning a new game.  The other part is laughing, making new friends, and just having a good time in general.

Here are my proposed themes (these could change if I get better ideas or special requests):

  • Thursday, June 11: Flavors of Fluxx. Includes: Fluxx 4.0, Family Fluxx, EcoFluxx, Zombie Fluxx, Monty Python Fluxx and Espanol Fluxx.
  • Thursday, June 18: Train Games. Includes: Transamerica, Ticket to Ride, USA 1910 Expansion, Ticket to Ride Europe, Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition and Ticket to Ride The Card Game.
  • Thursday, June 25: Cooperative Operative. Includes cooperative games (players works together against the board, we all win together or lose together): Pandemic, Red November, Battlestar Gallactica, and others as I think of them and/or acquire them.
  • Thursday, July 2: Trading’s the Game. Includes: Bohnanza, Oltre Mare, Pit…

What to bring: if you have folding chairs, please bring ‘em.  Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase at the store.

When: Thursdays, June 11 thru July 2,  1pm to 5pm.
