Game Universe Greenfield is running Dual Land Legacy Tournaments at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday night in September! Entry is $10 and, if we get at least 8 players, first place gets a dual land! If for some reason you’re not interested in free dual lands, you can always take the value of the dual land in store credit instead. Proxies are allowed, but please observe Star City’s proxie rules.

See you Wednesday!

From the Vault: Relics are available while supplies last, tomorrow and Saturday, at both Greenfield and Brookfield stores. Supplies are extremely limited, so we can only offer 1 box per customer.

Ever wanted to get a look inside that a gigantic and awesome strategy game like Claustrophobia or Descent but didn’t know anyone who owned it? Well your friendly local game store has got your back!

Game Universe Brookfield is pleased to announce 20% Off Board Game Demo Night! What is this night of wonder, you ask? Quite simply this: each Wednesday our friendly and knowledgeable staff will demo one game from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. You’ll get a chance to sit down and play all sorts of games, meet some local gamers, and figure out what games you like. If there’s a game you want to try, let our staff know and we’ll demo it sometime in the next few weeks.

But wait! There’s more! Whatever game we demo each week will be 20% Off to participants in the demo! That’s right; we’re going to give you a discount just for playing a cool new board game!

So swing by at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11th for our first 20% Off Demo Night!
