Coronavirus and the Board Game Community

March 16, Update: In order to help slow down the spread of Covid-19, we are canceling all events for the remainder of March, and possibly longer. Please check back here toward the end of the month for updated information on events after this month.

Please do not show up at any of our regular venues to play games. The venues that are able to remain open need to strictly limit attendees—people there playing games will interfere with that.

Play Games Online

We’re working on setting up an online meetup to play games on Thursday night online, starting at 6pm, our regular Denny’s meetup time. Keep your eye on our Facebook Page for more details, as we’ll be creating an event there.

You can also join our online community at Board Game Arena to play games with other community members. Plus, we have additional resources for gaming online.

Support Local Venues

This is a challenging time the venues we meet at—many of whom have hosted us for years, for free. Here are some ways you can support them while social distancing:

• Anthem Brewery: Grab some gift cards for later use, or pick up some merch. You can also still stop by for curbside beer sales!
• Barnes & Noble: You can order books or games for pickup from the Quail Springs location, or order gift cards for later use.
• Denny’s: You can order food online for pickup or delivery. Put in your zip code and select the Denny’s on 2nd street if possible.
• Elk Valley Brewery: Stop by for some take out cans and enjoy at home.
• Fassler Hall: McNellies Group gift cards, available online, work at Fassler and many other locations.
• Microsoft: Local stores are closed, but products can be ordered online.
• Mazzio’s: Order pickup or delivery from Mazzio’s in Mustang.
• The Parlor: We don’t know of a way to purchase gift cards online, but they are available at the venue.

Support Local Game Stores

Local game stores have had to reduce or eliminate their playroom hours, reducing their income. Consider helping them out. Check out our interactive map of local stores and cafes, find a game store near you, and stop by to buy a game to play at home.

Supporter Shirts

Finally, a note on supporter shirts—due to the current situation, if you purchased a supporter shirt, it will be shipped to you, regardless of whether you selected pickup or shipping. Shirts will ship this week.
