During the early days of COVID once we were open for shopping again, we began to display all of our board games with the back descriptions facing out. The idea was that people could shop the shelves without having to handle the games as much. As a bonus for staff, games didn't wander from their assigned locations as much. We received tons of positive feedback about displaying our games this way, but it does take some getting used to.

Recently, we have been finding entire rows of games turned around so the front of the game faces out. One or two games might be accidental but entire rows of shelves can't be. It got me to thinking, which way do our customers prefer we face our games? Facebook took away the actual poll option but I have still created a simple poll I would love responses to. I have two photos to illustrate the difference in method. Please tell me which way you prefer to shop. I don't mean which you find prettier, but which method would make it easier for you to shop the games. You can also say you don't have a preference. Please respond in the comments with Game Back Descriptions, Front Facing, or No preference. Thanks! #customerpoll

To make room for the new fixtures, we had to move what feels like most of the board game fixtures to make everything fit. We love the result! Less crowded *New Release* fixtures means we can highlight new arrivals better and for a longer period. The new arrangement works better with a pillar that was problematic before. Everything should be more shoppable and better organized.

We bought two four-sided fixtures to be our *New Release* displays. Now we have one fixture for new board games and one for new miniature games. Bonus, we picked up a smaller one fixture to display two-player card games and Living Card Games.

We want to give a special shout-out to Battlefield Lavender - an awesome, small business and farm full of great smelling products run by wonderful people. The fixtures look great! Thanks for letting us take them off your hands.

If you are in the market for lavender, culinary lavender, or related products, you can find Battlefield Lavender at the Farmer's Market, on the web, or at their farm in Centralia (open most days 10 am to 6 pm).

The Gate has launched its new website. It has the same address (www.valhallasgate.com) but it's faster, prettier, and more functional. It's more reliable, too. We plan to add more pages and features now that our new site is live. Go check it out.

The Gate is open on July 16. However, contractors have re-asphalted the parking lot entrance. You have to enter the parking lot through the side entrance off Hutchins Dr.

Boone County's COVID-19 Community Level changed to High late last week. The CDC recommends wearing a mask in public. Our staff have continued to wear masks throughout the pandemic. On July 1, we reinstated a mask requirement for our Event Center and the Card Center. Players must wear masks while playing games in the store or sitting at our tables. We request that customers also consider wearing masks while shopping in the store, but it is not required.

The reorganization took longer than we expected but we think it looks fantastic! Our Gamegenic racks were held up in Ohio. Without being able to complete the aisle by the window first, it made getting things straight and aligned difficult. However, we are very pleased with the arrangement and think customers will enjoy their shopping experience more. Be sure to stop in and look around. Thanks to our Staff for working such a long shift so we could finish. You rock!

Looks like the Gate will need to be closed all day on Thursday, June 30 after all. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Facebook post   2022-06-29 14:42:19

FYI, the Gate will be closed from 11 am to 3 pm on Thursday, June 30 for some reorganization. We also have new GameGenic racks to build and install. We plan to open at 3 pm but the Card Center and RPG side of the store will probably remain closed into early evening.

Learned to play Cryptid Cafe. The cryptid meeples are awesome! We enjoyed the game play with two players using the AI mechanic but we both agree it would be more fun with more people. It's a bidding, resource-gathering game with set collection thrown in. It plays rather quickly and would make a good family game. We definitely will enjoy playing again.

The Gate has the deluxe version, which includes wooden tokens and screen-printed cryptid meeples instead of standees. We also have the Server Expansion, which includes 48 Cryptid meeples.

In Cryptid Cafe, you play a lead server at the cafe, a Sasquatch-owned restaurant packed with legendary creatures from all over the world. Gather food. Fill orders. Earn the most tips and be crowned, dare we say, the most "legendary" server.
