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.
We have started three new club discount cards, one each for Magic, Games Workshop and Board Game Pub!
For the Magic Club Card you can earn stamps when you come to the store for Thursday Night Magic. It takes three Thursdays to activate your card and after that for every four Thursdays you play you get a one time purchase of boosters, however many you want, at $4 each tax included instead of $4.50! Also, if you come out to play five in store tournaments between each new Magic set you can get and extra 5% off your next booster box purchase. Currently we sell booster boxes for 15% off the regular pack price so that will be a box at 20% off!
The Games Workshop card is similar, for playing four games in store each month you will get 15% off your next purchase. This discount is only available once a month, but for every six games you play in store you will get your next GW Tournament entry for $15.
Lastly, for all you board gamers, each time you come out for a Board Game Pub at Frugal MacDougall's you can get a stamp good for 10% off your next board or card game purchase (excluding Magic and Games Workshop products). This discount is not cumulative but can be used on a purchase of more than one item.
We will keep all the cards in the store and bring them to Board Game Pub with us. So come in and ask staff for your new card and start saving!
We will now be hosting Yu Gi Oh! every Saturday afternoon starting at 2PM. There will be a mix of casual play days and tournaments so be sure to check here for upcoming events! For information on banned cards and game rules check out the
Yu Gi Oh Game Play site.
