Mage Knight, Ascension, Beer Tasting Info and more!

Join us today for ‘Learn to Play’ Sunday! We’ll be demoing out the all-ages WWII war game Memoir ’44 in the afternoon, followed by a demo of the Mage Knight: Board Game in the evening and Ascension Day.

Memoir ’44 was nominated for a host of awards when it burst onto the scene in 2004, with its simple rules, strategic card-play, and plastic pieces more reminiscent of a child’s toy box than a war game.

Mage Knight is a game of fantasy adventure so big it’ll make your make your head spin. It’s got combat with orcs, conquest on a modular map, deck-building, missions that can be either cooperative or competitive, and solitaire play for those that can’t whip up 2 or 3 friends!

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer took the deck-building mechanics of Dominion and flipped them on their head to create a fun, easy-to-learn fantasy game with a ton of theme. We’re doing monthly Ascension Days, where people can meetup to play and win special promotional cards.

Just as a reminder, we’ll be doing a free Silver City Brewing beer tasting this Tuesday starting at 6pm, and raising donations for the Lynnwood Foodbank. Ever tried an oak-barrel aged beer before? Here’s your chance.

Tim Morgan

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
