Boone County's Covid numbers have continued to rise and the college students from all over the country haven't even arrived back in town yet. Following information released by the CDC, the World Health Organization and with other scientific studies in mind, we are implementing a few clarifications to our mask policy. (1) All masks must be at least two layers. This means no neck gaiters, no single-ply bandanas, no pulled up shirts. (2) No vented masks allowed. (3) Masks must cover the nose and the chin and be closed on the sides of the face. (4) We have disposable masks available for $1 if your mask does not comply with our policy. (5) Only children who can and are wearing masks will be allowed in to shop. Babies in covered carriers could also be brought in. In addition, please remember that until it is safe, all organized play remains suspended, the Event Center is closed, and we do not currently have a public restroom. Thank you for your continued patronage during these uncertain times. We are doing our best to keep our staff, our families, and our customers as safe as we can.

Lunch is beginning late today, roughly 1:40. Sorry.

We have added a new section called Celebrating Diversity. Right now, it features games about or from different cultures, games designed by women, or games designed by BIPOC.

We still have plenty of cupcakes to go. Come help us celebrate 20 years in business.

Sale area is open. Smaller sale table is set. Cupcakes are ready. Stop by to help celebrate our birthday.

Just a reminder that Saturday, August 1 is Valhalla's Gate's 20th birthday. We will be celebrating with cupcakes-to-go out front beginning at noon until we run out. We have a small anniversary sale table set up plus a bigger sales area in the card game area. It's also Free RPG Day at the Gate. Customers can get a free RPG module with a $10 purchase in the store or with curbside pickup. Masks are required. We hope to see you there!

Once again we have wooden games from Miranda in stock. Quadefy and Eternas are two of their most popular games. These are fun, two-player games with quality, wooden pieces. We also have similarly styled, wooden games from Gigamic in stock. If you haven't had a chance to check out our new, abstract game section, now might be a good time to do so.
