We're hosting our biannual games auction today from noon to 5pm. It is sealed (you don't know what others have bid) and silent. A plethora of gently used (and a few new) board games and RPG books, a few minis, Kickstarter behemoths, out-of-print greats, and a tasty stack of old-school wargames. Bids must be submitted in person (we do not take online or over-phone bids).

Hey all. I'm going to shut it down. It's looking pretty hairy out there, and it's unlikely to let up anytime soon. We'll reopen tomorrow at noon. Stay warm, stay safe!
