Play Something New Demo Night - Oddland

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: Oddland

"Eureka! The fascinating flora and fauna on this strange island are unlike any you’ve ever seen! How… odd!

As an intrepid investigator of all things idiosyncratic, your job is to explore the island and document these fantastic creatures. On your turn, explore by placing a terrain card somewhere on the island (with the ability to cover up previous terrain!).

Then, place one of your seven flora or fauna tokens on the card you’ve just played. These tokens score based on their surroundings–for example, the pigehorse scores better adjacent to a longer coastline."
