I have been trying to put together a regular playtesting group that meets on Monday and Thursday afternoons. I know most people aren't available during weekdays, but I figure there must be some gamers who work on different shifts, attend school, or whatnot. If you are interested in having a prototype playtested or simply playing new games from local designers, we would love to have you join us!

We meet Monday and Thursday every week at noon at Game Night Games. Please bring a prototype or just yourself and come have some fun!

Thanks!

This is a free admission league with no entry fee and no prizes - just good old fashioned competition. We will keep track of stats and post them on our website and in the store.

We will start with 500 point armies in May for both leagues and escalate the point requirements each month. This means there would be two meetups using the same point scale each month for each system.



For more info in general about our Table Top in-store meetups, visit our Table Top event page.

For any additional questions, feel free to contact the store.

Thanks,

Wings of War is being brought to life again in Wings of Glory.
Ares Games (http://www.aresgames.eu/upcoming-products) is continuing this great game. They just released the WWII set. Looks cool, but the real excitement is in the WWI game. Ares is putting out super heavy biplane bombers. They look awesome, plus their first release of 16 single engine planes includes monoplanes, early war planes, 1915.
These big beasts should be out soon. Great pics on the internet.

There seems to be quite a few people interested in playing. We had four players on Thursday (4/12) with a balloon objective. I meet another player today (4/14) who has a large collection including balloons. Also, I heard a group played last Saturday during the war games time slot.

If your are interested in bi-monthly play with possible campaign style missions (central vs. axis) and a leader board involving "ace" bonuses come join us.

Hope to see you on April 26th, 7pm.

So I know not a ton of people read this, but today (18 March) a couple of us at the store were talking with Mike, an employee, about starting a Fantasy escalation league, running on Sundays and probably being like the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. Some friends of mine from Santa Cruz just started a league, and I like their ideas so I stole them and created the following rules. They are open for critique if you guys can think of better stuff, but I certainly think this is a good start point:

Start: Unknown

Sign Up: We would love it if you could start the league with us, but you are free to jump in anytime! Contact Brett Merkley (merkbc@gmail.com or on facebook) or Game Night Games (info@gamenightgames.com) or go down to Game Night Games 2148 S 900 E Suite 2, Salt Lake City, 84106 (801-467-2400). Please leave your name and some form of reliable contact.

List Restrictions: No special characters allowed. Lists are fixed for the week; submit your lists every Monday, either in person or by email. Every army needs a general! “Proxying” is allowed (if you do not have the actual models, a placeholder is just fine!).

Scenario: Standard faceoff. Games won based on % of points killed (the person who kills the most wins!).

Brackets: Round Robin. Record calculated by W-L-T

Participants:
Calendar:

1st Week
First meeting. Please try to make the first meeting so all the participants can meet each other and we can go over match pairings as well as go any issues/questions. Games will be 500 points and last 4 turns. Games under 1000 points run on the short side. To compensate we will play a best of 3 series for all games under 1000 points. Games over 1000 points will be best of 1.

2nd Week
500pts, 4 turns, best of 3

3rd Week
750pts, 4 turns, best of 3

4th Week
750pts, 5 turns

5th Week
1000pts, 5 turns

6th Week
1000

7th Week
1500pts, 6 turns

8th Week
1500pts, 6 turns

9th Week
2000pts, 6 turns

10th Week
2000pts, 6 turns

11th Week
2500pts, 6 turns

12th Week
2500pts, 6 turns

End of League Tournament:
3000pts 6 turns
No restrictions except those in the army books, i.e. Dark Elf Black Guard are units of 5-20 models only.

Thoughts folks?

Our new gaming area is much bigger, has much better lighting, and is sectioned off from the retail area to allow for a more comfortable gaming experience.





We now have more parking available than we did before - but it's not all in one place. There are rows of parking stalls on all sides of the building and there's street side parking available on Elm Ave and Commonwealth Ave next to the store. There's also parking available in the neighboring Alarm Company building's lot after 4pm during the week and all day on weekends.
