Play Something New Demo Night - Go For the Krill

Play Something New with us every Friday night!

Our Play Something New board game demo nights are a perfect opportunity to relax, learn a new game, and get involved with our ever-growing board gaming community! We will be featuring and teaching a different game each week.

Here’s How It Works:

Sign up for a Demo: We will have several tables of game demos for our Featured Game running from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Demo experiences will last around 30 minutes and will go over the basic rules of the game and several turns of play. Games may be limited to a certain number of turns/ rounds to allow for everyone to get a seat at a demo throughout the night. Demo sign-ups will cut off at 8:30.

Sale and Raffles: Our Featured Game will be on sale for 20% off during the event for anyone who participated in a demo! In addition, some open copies of the game will be raffled off once the demos are finished for the night.

Open Board Gaming: In addition to the demo…..hang out and play! Tables will be available for open board gaming until our Game Room closes up (around 9:45 pm). Bring some games with you to play or get in on a game with other board gamers. In addition, we will have some open copies of popular board games on hand to try during the event!

Cost: The cost for the event is a $10 “Credit Swap” (you’ll get $10 in store credit back with your entry!)

Tonight’s Featured Game: Go For the Krill With Local Designer Sam Pak!

"You are a whale. More accurately, you are a group of Baleen whales and you are hungry for Krill.

In Go For The Krill, 2 - 6 players control a group of whales made up of a hand of cards numbered 1 - 10, a squid card, and a penguin card. Your goal is to play a card each round to consume a school of Plankton (or the more valuable Krill) cards that correspond to the numbered whale card you played. If two or more players play the same number in a single round, the cards are moot and the players gets nothing!

Players place a single whale card in front of them face down. All whale cards are revealed simultaneously and scored. After 12 rounds, players total the number of Krill and Plankton cards and the player with the most points, wins."
