Description
What You Get
In February our board game concierge will teach you how to survive in an alien infested spaceship in Nemesis!
Nemesis is a highly rated, semi-cooperative game that will take you into the heart of sci-fi survival horror in all its terror.
Some modern board game experience is necessary. We will have the game setup when you arrive, do a full teach of the rules and answer any questions along the way, but these are much more complex games that will likely be difficult for someone brand new to the hobby.
Ticket includes full setup/teach/questions answered for the duration of the game, your game pass for the entire day, one free drink and a button for completing the concierge game! You should expect any concierge game to take a minimum of 2 hours to complete.
More Info
One ticket per person.
It is always helpful to arrive 10-15 minutes early to park, get your drink/snacks and get settled at your table. Parking info can be found here.
If you love the game, we can order a brand new copy for you. We donate 20% of the profits from our food, drink and merch sales back to our partner non-profit rescues, so buying a game from us levels up your good vibes.
