Board Games Consignment at GOB |
Do you have board games you no longer play? Now you can sell them on consignment through GOB. We've got a new dedicated section for consignment games. It cost nothing up front. Just bring your games in and fill out our consignment agreement and form (or download it online and fill it out at your convenience). When you game sells GOB takes a modest commission and gives the rest of it to you in the form of a GOB Store credit. So bring those older games in and turn them into new treasures to play. And even if you don't have old games to sell, come in and check out this new section. You can find some great deals and some out of print, limited or kickstarted games not generally available at retail.

Magic: Bundle Builders Tournament - Sat Nov 9th @ 4:30pm |
A favorite event for casual players, our Bundle Builders Tournament is where players get 1 of our Magic Bulk Bundles and 1 Booster Pack (any set priced $4.99 or under) and build a 60 card deck from that card pool plus basic lands. It is a fun event where players are challenged to make the best deck possible out of the completely random card assortment found in our bulk bundles. Event will consist of 1 hour of deck building time and 3 rounds of swiss play. Cost to attend will simply be that of buying 1 GOB Bulk Magic Bundle and 1 booster pack.
Prizes: We've got some great ones. We'll be prizing this event with 3 Magic 2020 Premium Prize Packs, 5 Magic 2020 Regular Promo Packs and 3 Nexus of Fates. 1 of the Premium Promo Packs and Nexus of Fate will be given away randomly, with the rest going to the top 3-5 players depending on attendance.

The Gen Con Board and Card Game Avalanche |
Every year publishers time many of their new releases so they can showcase them at Gen Con each year. When the convention is done, all these products then release to retail store over the following two months. This year, the number of new board and card games has arrived as an avalanche. And GOB stocks nearly all of them!!
You can see all of these in the store on our middle tables, where we showcase new arrivals. Or feel free to browse our new arrivals on our board and card game pages (see link below). Games are shown in order of last receival, so all new releases will show within the first 5-10 pages, mixed in with existing games that have recently been restocked.
