March 7th - Brimstone Board Game Night featuring: Arcadia Quest

The first WGR event of March!

It's time for Brimstone Board Game Night!

The Windsor Gaming Resource returns to Brimstone Games on Saturday February 21st.

Brimstone Board Game Night hits on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. These events run from 5pm to 10pm and are open to all ages.

Reminder:
At Brimstone all board games are 30% off all the time.

You can win a board game! 

Every Board Game Night at 8pm the store will draw 1 ticket and the winner will receive a free board game! Sometimes we get extra generous and give away more than one. Heck one night we gave away 6. No matter what there will be at least 1 game given away every event.

Players earn 1 ticket for playing games, 1 ticket for purchasing a snack or drink, and 1 ticket for bringing 1 or more board games for people to play. Earn 5 more tickets for each game you purchase. First time players will receive 5 additional tickets.

You can find Brimstone at 3298 Walker Rd. Parking is available on the south side of the building and on the street around back. Note that Brimstone used to be located in McGregor. This is no longer the case, they moved into Windsor just over a year ago.

Featured Game: Arcadia Quest

Arcadia Quest is a very cool JRPG simulator for four players with some of the best looking chibi miniatures on the market.

Each player creates a guild of three characters and then works to re-claim the city from the evil necromancer by completing both PvP and PvE quest.

It's this combination of player vs player and co-op vs. the board that really makes this game.

We will be doing demos of this great looking game all event and you can even win a copy to take home.

Games & Grub - February 27th

WINDSOR STAR NEWS CAFE

Friday February 27th we've got a Games & Grub event being held at The Green Bean's Windsor Star News Cafe. This all ages event runs from 6pm until 11pm. 

The Windsor Star News Cafe is located at 300 Ouellette Ave, 3rd floor. This is the cafe that is part of the new Windsor Star located where the old downtown Palace Theater was.

The Windsor Star News Cafe has great food, coffee and other yummy things. The location is also licensed and offers some awesome beer from Walkerville Brewery as well as local Wines. Street parking is free after 6pm if you can find a spot and there are two parking garages in a very short walking distance if you can't.

We play a wide variety of games at these events. You will find card, dice and board games. We've even seen some miniature gamers bring their armies out. There's no theme to the event. Our last gaming event saw games of Catan, King of Tokyo, Timeline, Tribune, Merchants & Marauders, and more.

We encourage you to bring some games out, whether an old favourite or something new you want to try out. If you don't have anything to bring, that's cool too. There's always lots of variety and people are always happy to teach you the games they have brought.

Featured Game: Star Wars Imperial Assault

The featured game for this event will be the awesome new Star Wars Imperial Assault from Fantasy Flight Games.

People have been asking for a good ground based Star Wars game since X-Wing and Imperial Assault delivers.

Using an updated Descent 2nd edition engine this is one of the best 'dungeon crawlers' ever made, and it's Star Wars!
