Over almost 20 years, we have hosted uncounted drafts, prereleases of over 60 people, taught hundreds of people how to play D&D, introduced new board games to 1000’s, taught Pokémon to people from 5 years old to 50 years old, participated in many community events, donated to dozens of charities, expanded our store twice, moved to a new location, and created countless friends. That seems like a pretty good track record.
As we look forward, we have realized that it is time for us to move on. We have loved our time at Paddy’s, but we will be closing in the next few weeks. We still plan on being involved in gaming in the community. That’s going to have a couple of looks. We are currently researching the best places to keep the Tuesday night board games going on, and Dawn will still be teaching board games through Community Ed. Crafty Gamers will still happen, but will also be moving to other venues (look for Dawn at Granite City Bizarre Bazaar events, and other local craft shows).
What does closing look like? Yes, we will be offering discounts. Check our Facebook page for current discounts, with a few exceptions. Sealed Lorcana and our brand new Foam Brain Traveler's Trinkets will not be discounted. MTG: Commons will be $.01, and uncommons $.05, individually priced singles and sealed Magic will also have a discount. All our fixtures and a large amount of décor will also be for sale.
