Hey hey. In January my husband surprised me with a little beach vacation and of course we visited a couple of game stores and cafes along the way. I wrote up most of this article but didn’t publish it right away. I’ve been in lockdown long enough that I’ve accomplished many of the unfinished projects around my home and I realized now is the perfect time to finish up this article and others.
Game Store Quest!
Game Store Quest!: Dallas, TX
Hey hey. A couple of weeks ago I attended BGG Con 2019 (find my thoughts on the event here) in Dallas, Texas. Common Ground Games was just a quick detour along my way from the airport to the show’s new location (which was lovely, by the way) so I decided to drop in. Continue reading
Game Store Quest!: Glendale + Burbank, CA
Hey hey! Earlier this month Nic and I traveled out to Los Angeles, California, to record a few episodes of the YouTube series Board Game Night! with the Board Game Geek crew (when the episodes go live I’ll post a link and talk a little bit more about this adventure). We had an incredible time with Lincoln, Nikki, and Dave; it was neat to see the studio, recording was fun, and the BGG crew are so friendly. During our time off Mike Murphy and Lincoln took us to a few FLGS and cafes.
Game Store Quest!: West Chester + Leola, PA
Nic and I attended S’mores and Meeples Board Game Camp 2019 last weekend (check out my thoughts on the event here) and at the event we met a couple who told us about a unique board game store not too far from the convention site…
Game Store Quest!: Sedona + Flagstaff, AZ
Hey hey. My cousin got married last weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona. My sister and I flew out to the wedding and then stuck around for a few days to do some sightseeing; we saw some amazing things and, of course, I had to stop at a couple of game stores along the way.
Game Store Quest!: Wilmington, NC
Hey hey. Hurricane Florence swept through the East Coast last month, leaving destruction and devastation in its wake. My husband recently went down to Wilmington, North Carolina to help with cleanup efforts, and after he’d been there for about a week I started to miss him (well, really, I started to miss him about 2 seconds after he left) and decided to visit on his day off. We had brunch, went to the beach, and of course, we visited a game store.
Game Store Quest!: St. Louis, MO
Hey hey! Geekway to the West just wrapped up (my thoughts on the event can be found HERE) and on my way out of town I stopped in at a few game stores, including Fantasy Shop, Miniature Market, and The Wizard’s Wagon…

Game Store Quest!: Charlotte, NC
Hey hey! My husband and I like to spend our Saturdays adventuring and we often find ourselves in a game store (or several, if I’m being honest). When we head somewhere new we scout out all of the FLGS (friendly local game stores) in the area and we hit as many as we can. This weekend we headed to Charlotte, North Carolina.
