News from The Gate

In our store remodel, we lost the space for a really awesome art piece that used to be in our window.

Does anyone have room for a cool, troll face? It's probably six feet tall and heavy. The frame is wood. The face is made out of blue foam insulation.

Things we accomplished today include creating enough space for deck builders so they display better. So much better!

Most of the games are in the correct area and probably the correct shelf. There are still some roleplaying games to put in their places. Sleeves need to be put on their fixtures after they are cleaned. We have to fix the header to the Dragonshield display that broke when it fell over. Then we are down to cleanup and lots of little stuff.
Not to mention the many orders that arrived this week that need to be entered and shelved, too.

Sneak Peek at what we accomplished on Tuesday. Nearly all of the fixtures are in place. Now we just have to put the products back on the shelves and then clean up.

How many staff does it take to build a gondola or worse, move the row of dice!?! It was all hands on deck today!

Coming soon! Plague Doctors and other Squishable plushies!

The shipment has arrived but the computers are currently disconnected so we couldn't enter the inventory. We still have to empty the shelves they will sit on anyway.

One of our Dragonshield fixtures fell over while we were trying to move it. Thankfully, it survived. However, maybe a shelf needs to be more solid and held together with more than magnets on the sides. (This was after staff cleaned up the mess.)

As we were wrapping up our workday, the bifrost opened. The appearance of the rainbow bridge(s) must bode well for our reorganization plan. And it was so pretty!

Just a reminder that we are closed this week for store improvements. Right now we are deconstructing Mission Control.

Facebook post   2024-03-25 11:25:25

Part of the reorganization is to make more cohesive and clearly recognizable departments. Here is our Area Control section.

The Gate will be closed March 25 - 28 to reorganize and make improvements. However, we got a jump start on moving things in an attempt to make things go smoother on Monday. Here's a sneak peak at our new board games with miniatures section.

Robot Quest Arena is here! This family friendly game looks so fun!

Robot Quest is a 2-4 player deck-building board game of robot battles! Your battery cards will give you the energy to move, power your weapons, and buy powerful new cards for your deck. Navigate around the hazards of the arena and blast your opponents to score points. Destroyed bots respawn each round, so you're never out of the action! Alliances are made and broken! The robot pilot with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Women are Werewolves is an award-winning card-based, story game where players portray nonbinary characters in a family where only the women transform into werewolves. Using a beautiful deck of tarot-sized cards containing roleplaying prompts, players explore their relationships to gendered spaces, family customs, and queer and non-queer family members.

We are very excited to add this beautiful game to our Celebrate Diversity shelf.
(1-6 players, roughly an hour or two of gametime)

We have some improvements we want to make to the store and we figure the best time would be during Spring Break when many people leave town. So Valhalla's Gate will be closed temporarily from Monday, March 25 to Thursday, March 28, 2024. If things go smoothly, we might be able to reopen sooner.
