GOB Retail July Newsletter
Greetings,
Summer is squarely upon us and its once more time to do this monthly newsletter thingy. Before we go on to talk about the upcoming events and great new stuff here at GOB, we would be remise if we didn't remind everyone that those brand new AC units we installed a couple years back work great, so weather you are browsing our 146,000+ games, comics and collectibles or getting some games in at our open game room, either makes for a fine retreat from the heat and is far faster relief than waiting for the next snow...
D&D Teen Summer Camps - Last 2 Filling Fast
This summer we have been running Dungeons and Dragons summer camps for youths ages 12-18. We have two camps remaining this season and spots are filling up fast. If you have someone in the family looking to play, we suggest signing them up soon before the camps are all booked out. The two camps remaining run 12:30-4:30 on the following dates:
July 16-19
July 23-26
Run by GOB Dungeon Master Aric, these camps are a great summer activity for youths. They get to have some fun, socialize in a cooperative play environment, flex their creative side and maybe even be forced to get some reading and math in there also! Good for new players and kids with plenty of D&D under their belts already. The July 16-19 camp will be running characters starting at level 6 and the July 23-26 camp will start with characters at level 8. New players can bring an appropriate leveled character or make new ones at the appropriate level. For full details, read the link below. You can sign up in the store or online at:

GOB Comic Subscriptions
Did you know that GOB offer a FREE Comic Subscription system. That's right. Pay nothing to start subscribing to comics with GOB. Further, besides being Michigan's largest game and comic store and carrying almost all new comics, plus lots of indie books, GOB also offers free 24/7 Online access to the GOB Comic Subscription System. This is an online tool that let's you easily manage all of your comic subscriptions and gives you useful info on what you have on subscription, what is forthcoming, what has arrived and is waiting for you at the store and more. We recently added and Comic Kiosk to the store that besides giving you the ability to search our entire real-time comic inventory (hint, you can also do that on our website), also offers a great demo of our comic subscription system. Drop by the store and one of our associations will be happy to show you a demo of the system.
Family and Kids Games
GOB has one of the nation's largest selections of family and kid games. And while it is awsome to have this much selection, we know it can also be intimidating to browse it all. So we've created a showcase table for our family and kids section that currently highlights some of our most popular family and kids games. Drop by the store to check it out.

Gaming Room Makeover
All good things take time. Usually more than we like. The open game room makeover project continues onward. We've completed the installation of the carpet tiles in the room. That's made is nicer to walk on and has reduced the noise levels in the room a bit. The private game room has some more work to be done yet. Waiting on electricians work at the moment, but definitely more is yet to do. We've got some additional painting yet to do and some additional decorating. We ceased selling frozen foods and have changed over to offering an range noodles and other microwaiveables. There is a plan to offer coffee in the works as well.
GOB Board Game Rentals
Just a remind that we recently expanded our open board game demo library so that all the board and card games there may also be rented and taken home to play. Here is a short list of games currently available to rent:
