Tak is back and this time with a new 2nd edition look. Like any good abstract strategy game, Tak is very easy to learn but challenging to win. In this 2 player game players take turns trying to complete a path from one side of the board to the other. Check it out in store or on our website.... https://www.gamesofberkeley.com/ See more

Oh, that's right. This ... happened ... 4 years ago.

Hurm ... we've seen this news being repeated almost exactly a year after it was first announced. Is there some kind of relationship-themed special day appearing on the calendar sometime soon?

LOVE, SWORDS, and ADVENTURE. Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a roleplaying game for telling queer stories with friends, created by local game designer April Kit Walsh and a huge cast of experienced contributors, and published by Evil Hat Productions. If you love angsty disaster lesbians with swords, this is the RPG for you! The physical book is estimated for arrival in July, but if you pre-order a copy we'll email you PDF versions of the complete rulebook and a variety of accessori...es for character creation and quick reference, for both players and game masters. This is looking to be a hit among our staff members (and many of their friends), so take a look: https://www.gamesofberkeley.com/thirsty-sword-lesbians-evil

We have some hot news to share this morning! We will be OPEN on WEDNESDAYS from 12-7pm starting this coming week!! Our new in-store hours are: Wednesday-Monday: 12-7pm Tuesday: CLOSED... As a reminder, we are not taking cash payments in the store these days -- only credit and debit transactions, and certain touchless methods as well.

Since there couldn't possibly be anything of national interest taking place today -- Such a boring day! -- here's an article about the ancient origins of Snakes & Ladders. (Nope, nothing of consequence in the U.S. today at all. [whistles nonchalantly])

We asked several months ago, but times and tastes can change so quickly: What's your favorite Actual Play?

It's the latest Dungeons & Dragons Paint Night Event Kit from WizKids -- the Ogre Zombie! Halloween may be over, but with an election tomorrow there's still time for scary fun! Hobby Night's incomparable Angela took a break from our tutorial videos this time around, so with no painting experience (and not much video production under his belt), our Evil Overlord said he could *totally* take care of it. So ... here it is. If you'd like to try out the Ogre Zombie Paint Night Kit..., drop on by Games of Berkeley during our business hours of Noon-7PM, Wednesday through Monday (closed Tuesdays). If you can't make it in to the store, you can also purchase it from us online at the following URL: https://www.gamesofberkeley.com/mini-zombie-ogre-paint-nigh Now, there's a good chance that if you want to learn how to paint, you'd like it to be from a pro, and that's perfectly understandable! Head over to the following link, where WizKids will give you detailed, step-by-step instructions: https://youtu.be/MeUMm_VGMUs And if you, like the Evil Overlord, experience hand tremors, check out Terrainosaur's great video on how to compensate: https://youtu.be/oqp76vAJu9g Hope you enjoy the video!

Happy Halloween, friends and neighbors.

It is time to announce our Spooky Diorama contest winner Immassukin from our Discord!! They will be getting a goodie bag of RPG accessories from Die Hard Dice. Here is what he had to say about his submission: "Title: Cemetery Party... This is an original scene, one that I’m using in a Halloween spectacular zoom D&D session so unfortunately I won’t get to use the minis in the game. All miniatures are reaper - Skeleton archers, swordsman, spearmen - Graveyard minions - Pumpkin golems Mushrooms are by Kromolech Tombstones by GSW All painting by me" We loved the natural background and who doesn't love a good Halloween party? Happy Halloween!
