Settlers of Catan Tournament on May 16th

By popular demand, in May we're hosting a Settlers of Catan tournament. Whether you've been playing it for years or are relatively new to the game, this will be a fun opportunity for a little friendly competition! 

You MUST RSVP for this event by calling the store at 773-384-4454 or by emailing info@cat-n-mouse.com.  Everyone will play 2 games, then the top 4 players will play a final round.   Seats available: 16  Tournament Entry Fee: $5

Tourney Prizes: 1st: $25 Cat & Mouse Gift Certificate; 2nd: $15 Gift Certificate; 3rd: $10 Gift Certificate; 4th: $5 Gift Certificate. PLUS - Each of the four finalists will receive a copy of The Great River of Catan, a small expansion for the base game.

Get OUT and Play!

Yes, Spring has finally sprung, and we've got bocce, beanbag toss, ladderball, jarts, things that bounce, things that fly....all great ways to keep the fun going outdoors.   Check out two of our new favorites: Boochie and UberDart:

Expanded Store Hours, Additional Game Night, and a Word Blur Party to Celebrate!

Starting Tuesday, May 26, we're expanding our hours (see sidebar at right) and adding a Friday night game night in addition to our long-standing one on Tuesday nights.  To kick things off, on Friday May 29 we're having a game night with a bit of a party atmosphere.  We'll be playing a variety of light, fun games (Bohnanza anyone?), but will be featuring Word Blur, the suprisingly wonderful game of word associations.  We'll be giving away copies of the game at 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm as door prizes, so stop by and join in the fun!

May 23 - Worldwide D&D Day and Monster Manual 2

Saturday, May 23 is Worldwide D&D Day plus the release of Monster Manual 2, and to celebrate we're holding D&D events throughout the day.   The schedule isn't set yet, but once the events are confirmed we'll post the details on our online calendar.  

On a related note, in June we're going to start hosting a Living Forgotten Realms group for adults.  Heading the group will be Eric (Dungeon Master and nice guy), who'll also be running some of the events for us on D&D Day.  If you're interested in joining the group or have questions, please contact Linda at linda@cat-n-mouse.com or post a comment on our Facebook wall.

Age of Steam Group Forming

Age of Steam is regarded by many as the best train game for serious gamers, and numerous expansion maps have been produced, providing players with a lot of variety to explore.   We love train games in general but Age of Steam in particular, and we're happy to announce that there's interest in forming an Age of Steam group that will play in the store on a regular basis. The schedule and frequency will be determined once we have a few more players, so if you're interested, contact Linda at linda@cat-n-mouse.com, or post a comment on our Facebook wall.
