contact Curt here for details and any questions.

Classic Board Game Day

Starting at 10am we will be enjoying the good old Avalon Hill flat box games. D-Day, Afrika Korps, Gettysburg, Midway, Bismarck, War at Sea, Russian Front, Waterloo, Guadalcanal and so on. Also, perhaps some Panzer Blitz? Feel free to bring in other games, like SCS games from The Gamers/MMP, or the old Quad games from SPI. Perhaps one of the easier GMT games. The idea here is to play the classic style wargames (hex and counter), especially those that can be concluded in a relatively short time and that can be learned (or relearned) fairly quickly. We're pretty open here so if somebody wants to play out an Avalon Hill Blitzkrieg that would be neat too. Hopefully everybody can get at least 2 game plays in during the day. If you have any questions send them along to Jeff by clicking here.


Federation Commander

Want to learn Federation Commander or just find someone to play with ?
There is a group trying to meet once a month on Saturdays to play. Interested ? You can contact Mark here.


Magic the Gathering
Dragon's Maze Pre-release Tourney

We will be running a Magic the Gathering Gatecrash Pre-release Tourney on Sunday, April 28th.

There will be a total of 30 seats and pre-registration gives you the ability to request a particular faction. No guarantees - based on availability.

Doors will open at 10am, Tourney starts at 11 am. Entrance fee is - $25.00
That gets you in the tourney and a Guild pack of cards

At the Dragon's Maze Prerelease, players will choose their guild to run the Implicit Maze with, then receive a guild pack containing a guild booster pack for the guild they chose, a guild booster pack for an allied guild, and four Dragon's Maze booster packs. The two guild packs will be the same as they were in their original Prerelease, but will not have that set's Prerelease promo for those guilds. The guild Prerelease packs will contain the Dragon’s Maze Prerelease promo but not a Spindown life counter, sticker, or guild welcome letter.

If you have any questions - drop a line and we will try to forward them to the tournament organizer.


Games Workshop Events 

Nothing specific going on but folks are around here and there playing WFB, 40K, Man o War, Epic and other classic GW games.


Windy City Bone Rollers
