Would love to see a Catan Tournament https://www.catanstudio.com/events/catan-world-championship/united-states-2023/

Very interesting! Thank you for the link. We’ll look further into it. In the mean time, would you like to trade sheep for grain? 🙂

Given that we don’t sell Magic, our abilities in this area are limited. We have noted the interest though. Thank you.
Ellen Rosengrant
My son would love a Magic night. Don’t most Magic fanatics have their own cards? Maybe put it out there to see what the interests are?
JBarone
As we understand it, we aren’t able to host official Magic events at this time as we aren’t a shop that sells Magic (the two are connected), but folks are absolutely welcome to bring their own cards or use our library sets to play.
Vanessa Wrightington
The kids would love a pokemon tournament
JBarone
We’re looking into some appreciation/Pokemon group nights that they might enjoy 🙂
S
Group matchmakers!
JBarone
If you mean a looking for group situation for board games then we’re absolutely looking into that. If we misunderstood, please let us know.

I see y’all have blood on the clocktower, I’d love to get a night of that together! I’d also love any general game/LFG night!
JBarone
These are exactly the things we’re working on. Stay tuned – we’ll send updates via our newsletter and Facebook as we have them.
Alex
I’d love to be able to meet more people to play games with!
JBarone
Tuesday evenings/nights are a great time for this. We have an open game teach and the group involved is happy to welcome others into more games. We also have in-cafe signups for game events like a Scrabble tournament, Go & Chess meetups, Pandemic Legacy / Clank Legacy / Gloomhaven campaigns, and more. These will run when there’s enough interest and they, along with several D&D/TTRPG campaigns (WFSaSu), are great ways to meet new folks to game with. Alternatively, we also have a Discord linked at the top of this site for more direct planning and geeking out over games. 😃
Dorene
Would love to see tween/teen youth club socials on a weekly basis. Kids between the ages of 12-16 really need some in person social time. I would travel for that!
JBarone
We’d be happy to host something like this if there was enough interest. Send us an email at boardgames@backagaincafe.com on when you think the best timing for an event like this would be.
andrew harriott
I would love to see a Legends of Fusion event soon!
JBarone
We’re glad the LoF event we had went well.

What about having a mahjong night? It doesn’t have to be competitive. It could be a drop in and learn kind of thing, as well as an ongoing event for people who want to get really good at it.
JBarone
Thanks for the idea! We can try it out and see how it goes. In the mean time, one of the best ways to connect on certain games right now is through our Discord, which is a link on the top of our site.
