Holiday ShoppingOn December 6 we'll be participating in the Northern Lights event sponsored by the Wicker Park/Bucktown Chamber of Commerce. From 11 am - 6 pm Bucktown stores north of Armitage will be decked out for the holidays and offering light refreshments, making for a festive day of shopping. There are dozens of wonderful, unique shops in the area, so it will be a great day to visit us and some of our neighbors as well. If you need help finding the perfect game for your kids, family or friends, check out our 2008 Gift Guide. It's full of great gift ideas for young and old alike! Of course, if you really just can't decide what to get, you can always give a Cat & Mouse gift certificate. It makes an outstanding stocking stuffer! What's New in the Store - Mahjong, Backgammon and More!We received two big shipments today of the tried and true: some are classics and some are titles that you might remember from your childhood. First the classics. We are now stocking Mahjong, and have a few different styles available. We have the larger attaché style with full-size tiles and a smaller (but not that small!) travel set that has thinner tiles. We also received a few more chess boards, plus a nice variety of backgammon sets ranging in size from 15″ to 19″. More dominoes also arrived, and we’re happy that we can now offer Mexican Train sets as well as thick Double 6’s that come in an attractive box, perfect for gift-giving. And if you’re in the mood for a flashback, how about Mastermind, Blockhead, Jeopardy, Rummikub, or Wheel of Fortune? All oldies but goodies that never go out of style! What's Coming Next WeekHoly Cow! The number of great games being released this month is amazing! Arriving on Tuesday will be two long-awaited titles from Valley Games: Titan and Municipium. We'll also be receiving some new Z-Man titles: Wasabi! (see BGG Con Buzz below) and Genji. And we wouldn't want Rio Grande to feel left out, so we'll also be getting in Lost Cities: The Board Game, Sylla, Leader 1, and the newest addition to the Carcassonne line - Carcasonne: Catapult.

us know that Ghost Stories from Asmodee is shaping up as one of the most
popular games of the convention. This is yet another cooperative game,
and Beth gave it a very enthusiastic thumbs up! You can read more
