Another year!

For those of you who don't recognize the importance of this soap dispenser, gather near for a tale of myth and Magic...

Seventeen years ago, we bought the GameShelf. It was a little underwhelming at the time, so our first order of business was to purchase toilet paper, paper towels, and a refillable soap dispenser.

And refill it we have, through thick and thin, Covid and moving, staff and customer use. Seventeen years of refills, and it's still doing yeoman duty.

Happy anniversary!

Major cuteness restock today...and zombies?

We finally have a restock of emotional support fries! This time they are definitely French Fries, and brought along some emotional support nuggies along with them!
But, my personal favorite is the blind-booster nuggies pack. They are super cute and come in their own sauce packet (sauce not included).
Also, Red Dragon Inn 10, Axis & Allies: Zombies, Oh My Word, Color Stack and new Exit advent calendars.
Plus a new game from the publishers of Exit called The Crew.
Cheers,
