$99 World Wake Box Sale!

February 2nd, 2010

We have confirmed our box numbers and have decided to have a $99 release day sale on the MTG WorldWake boosters. Plus the first 20 customers at each store will get a free buy-a-box foil promo card! See you Friday Feb 5th.

We are buying used board games!

January 24th, 2010

Game Universe (Greenfield & Brookfield) is now starting to buy/trade for used games… They need to have all their parts (a missing standard die isn’t an issue) and they need to be out of print (can’t buy them new in the store). Stop on in with your games and we’ll give you a price (more for store credit).

GAME UNIVERSE EVENTS

January 3rd, 2010

NEW BOARD GAME DAY:

We took a survey of our customers at the Brookfield store and most of them are willing to attend a Sunday 1pm board game event. So we’ll be start this event Sunday January 10th at the Brookfiled location. It will be weekly though you need not attend weekly. Hopefully we’ll see you once a month or so though. We have over 50 open games at the store and we’re always happy to teach you how to play a new one!  Participants will be offered a special price on the game played that day!

SPECIAL EVENT: Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play Demo

The new Fantasy Role Playing set for Warhammer looks and plays very well, but it’s $100 so you may be holding off. So we’re going to be running one or two free events to help teach the system and give you a chance to check it out. Our first event is: January 16th, 1pm at the Brookfield store. Make it there on time please.

MAGIC THE GATHERING:

FNM - Booster Draft: Starting in February, the Brookfield store will regularly hold FNM as a booster draft. This will allow players who are not interested in constructed play another venue to attend.

Boardgame Night - Brookfield

December 20th, 2009


We would like to attempt to host a Board Game night at our new store in Brookfield where we can play any game that is in our library or one you bring. The idea being that it’s much easier to learn a game from others then to read the rules. So, since we have some 50+ current games open at that store, why not make use of them. It would be a weekly event and a small group 4-6 players most likely (since it’s weekly the people who show will most likely be different each week). I will promote this to the new customers at our store as a way to learn and try out games before they buy.

The only question is, which day? Here are my suggestions and I welcome input before I finalize it.

Monday 6pm
Wednesday 6pm
Sunday 1pm
