    • Thank you!

    The Dragon would like to thank our regular Warhammer players for coming in to help with terrain rebuilding. It was very appreciated to have so many hands in the store to fix and build new pieces for everyone to use. Thank you all for your time and you've done a great job!

    • Board Game Pub:

    Board Game Pub is at Frugal MacDougall's on Baker Street one Monday a month! If you've never been there, you can find it at 76 Baker Street in Downtown Guelph, across from the Baker Street parking lot. Come join us the first(ish) Monday of ever month at 7PM for board games! We have missed a lot of our board game regulars so be sure to come by and join in the fun again! Also be sure to check out our new Club Cards for special discounts! Please Note: that if you are going to be purchasing food at Frugal's we suggest arriveing early so that the plates can be cleared before play begins.
