Ho ho ho! Welcome to the 12 Days of Small Town Games! For a very limited window (12 days, November 27 to December 8!), we are offering the best entry-level games at 20% off. If you or a member of the family are wondering about this board game thing, these are all products that would be great to introduce you, grandma, or baby sister to gaming.
- King of Tokyo – my go-to game for new players, and one I have taken to calling Kaiju Battle Yahtzee! Recognizable mechanics, giants monsters, and quick game play makes this a hit on every table.
- Catan – The board game that brought more gamers into gaming than any other! It is still among the most popular and most played games.
- King of Tokyo Dark – Like King of Tokyo, with a couple of new elements to add a new layer to your monster-smashing goodness!
- Ticket to Ride – Playable with kids as young as 6, but still plenty of depth for granny also. Plus, TRAINS! Even with no experience, you can be playing this with your family in under 15 minutes.
- Dominion – The first, and still rated by many as the best, deck-building game. Plenty of expansions, tons of strategy, and where winning feels really good. The base box gives tons of different options, and this is a game we used to play 4 or 5 times in an evening.
- Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza – Hand slapping fun for everyone, TCGCP is crazy, and one of the most popular party games available!
- Marvel Champions – Similar to Dominion, but it’s a cooperative experience (meaning the players are playing against the game, not each other) and oozes great Marvel theme. It is a bit more complex in its game-play as well, but we have a great Marvel Champions teacher in the store that would love to show you how to play. It also has tons of expansions and replayability.
- Pandemic/Pandemic Legacy – For those without fear, Pandemic is the grandaddy of co-op games. It is slightly heavier (Gaming lingo for a little more complex) than the first 6 games, but still readily accessible to almost everyone, and often the first game folks pick up after Catan.
- Dungeons and Dragons Stranger Things Starter, D&D Beginner Box, and D&D Essentials are the first steps for those kids asking to learn D&D (and we’ve had dozens of those in the store so far). Parents, Start Here! There are tons of players here in the store, so you’ll never have to wonder if your child can find a game.
- For those that know someone who would love a game, but aren’t sure what to get them, we have beautiful Small Town Games Challenge Coins, with a face value of $5 each. Any purchase of $25 and up in Small Town Coins and you’ll get a free Santa Dice Bag to carry them in! The ultimate stocking stuffer!
