We got another ration of used DVDs in. Some of these were pretty hot titles. We are slowly expanding out our section of videos, but it's starting to look pretty good here lately. Our only problem is trying to get them in faster than we are selling them.

We got a solid restock on Munchkin products and we also got the core game of Settlers of Catan back in. We also got the Settlers of Catan dice game in. This is a cool product that plays relatively fast, but still has the fell of the traditional Settlers game.

And for those that love the Pink Godzilla game, rejoice! We finally got it back in stock today. It's even being guarded by our two plush Pink Godzilla animals!

Kights of the Dinner Table #139 is in as well.

I am proud to announce our latest project "The Game Closet Entertainment Exchange Program." Here's how it works:

Customers can buy a DVD or Video Game from us and bring it back at any time and exchange it for a similar item (movie for movie/game for game) of equal or lesser value for only $3.

So, if you buy an item that's $9.99, you can bring it back tomorrow, next week, or even four months from now if you want, and exchange it for an item of equal of lesser value for only $3.

If you choose to get something more expensive, say $13.99. You would simply pay $7 ($4 difference + $3 exchange fee) and from then on, you can exchange for items of $13.99 or less.

It beats renting because there are no late charges. Also, if you like the item, you can just keep it. On the other hand, it's cheaper than renting movies and games anywhere else and you can take your time viewing a bunch of movies or sampling games that you haven't had a chance to enjoy yet.

We just take the information down at the counter when you purchase your item and you're good to go!

Pink Godzilla. I know, the name is groovy, isn't it? This is a very funny, tongue-in-sheek kind of game. It spoofs a bunch of gamer dork material, which is sure to draw giggles.

The interesting thing you, is that the premise is about each player making a vieo game as the cards are played out.

If you are interested in participating in for the store team, please go to this link and sign-up here

The fee is $15 for a 6-week season.
It should be good fun.

Munchkin 6 just arrived yesterday and it on the shelf!

And Diplomacy is back and selling extremely well.

I'm also glad you guys like the pinball machines. The response has been very good for them. If things keep up the way they are, we might even bring in a 3rd one. I just have to decide on which one.

We still need more video games and DVDs. If you having any of these media items sitting around your house, bring them in for cash or store credit.

We also need your old gamer junk that you are planning on throwing out. We've had some good donations so far, but we will definitely need a lot more if we ar eeven going to come close of making our goal.

After being out of print for years, Diplomacy is available for sale again. This is one of the most interesting military stategy games ever created. You should definitely give this one a look.

If you are a fan of Pizza Box Football, you should check out Pizza Box Baseball as well.

Restock arrived on Infernal Contraption.

We are always taking in DVDs and Video Games (currently and previous generation). You can get cash or get 20% more in value by trading them in for store credit.

01/14/08

We got restock on Blokus and Ticket to Ride.

We are still doing demos of the Starcraft board game.

11/07/07

Zombie Fluxx is in!

Giant Blokus is in. This is a great game. With the oversized board and pieces it's an even better family game. Pieces are easier to handle and harder to lose.

10/30/07

Zombie Fluxx arrived :)
D&D Inn-Fighting Dice Game has arrived. This thing is fun and cool.

10/10/07

The Talisman board game has just be re-released and is on sale and moving fast!

The great new edition of Talisman in all its glory.

9/5/07

The game of the moment is definitely The Red Dragon Inn. This game takes a playful spin on adventurers hanging out in a tavern and trying to outdrink and outwit one another. The art is very flavorful and playful. The card titles and flavor text are hilarious. The game is safe to play with pretty much anyone agges 12 and up. Gameplay is fast and entertaining. The average game takes about 20-35 minutes to play. If you are looking for something different, fun, and fast, give this game a look.

We should also see a restock on Infernal Contraption later this week. This game is apparently a huge fan favorite that has sold out on three consecutive shipments in our store.
