    Summertime Aftershock Game Days

    We had such a good time at our Aftershock in May at the Bellevue Public Library that we’ve decided to do it again. And again!

    Gen Can’t on August 1st

    Gen Can’t is for all you folx choosing not to travel to Indianapolis. The Game Shoppe Bellevue is once again welcoming people for RPGs (there’s a DCC event already scheduled!), at least 3 new Asmodee games (Azul Kids, Gunsen: The Battle for Toshi Ranbo, Forest Shuffle: Smoky Mountains), and whatever else you all choose to bring and share.

    Check out the evolving schedule and add your own games to it here.

    No charge to come and enjoy!
    Game times are 11 am to 8 pm.
    The Game Shoppe Bellevue is located at 1406 Harlan Dr, Bellevue, NE.

    Yellow Cake on August 22

    Once again Holy Cross Lutheran Church is hosting us for an all-day game event. In addition to the games and good times, there will be food available on site. You can schedule your game here and see what else is being offered here.

    There will be a $5 charge at the door to help defray expenses. The charge is only $4 if you bring one or two (or a bagful!) of non-perishable food items. All food donations go to Holy Cross’s food bank.

    Who: You! and maybe two or three of your friends.
    When: Game times are from 10 am to 10 pm.
    Where: 4117 Terrace Drive Omaha, NE

    We’ll be seeing you soon!

  • Free Game Day at Holy Cross Lutheran Church!

    Free Game Day at Holy Cross Lutheran Church!

    Staffer Steve here;

    Some of you may have attended Nuke-Con’s “Dead Games Day” event at Holy Cross Lutheran Church last weekend. Well, why not come back to Holy Cross for more gaming fun this Saturday?

    And as for those of you who missed out on last week’s game day (like myself), well then this is your 2nd chance to get in on some gaming fun!

    On Saturday, November 9th, starting at 1:00pm, Holy Cross Lutheran Church is hosting their own game day event! I’ll be there, and you’re all invited as well!

    And the best part, its a free event!

    “Join the Holy Cross family for a day of board game fun! Bring your favorite board games and some snacks & drinks & goodies to share for a fun afternoon.”

    The gaming fun starts at 1:00, and runs at a casual place that usually ends around dinner time.

    I’ll see you there!

  • Free Aftershock: Dead Games Day!

    Every gamer has at least one of those games they used to love to play and most likely still love to play, but they’ve been sitting on the shelf, dusty and neglected, for far too long.

    Most people also have at least one “extinct game”. What we mean by this is that everyone has at least one game that’s no longer in print, but is still just as much fun to play today as it was the day it rolled out of the factory.

    And in some cases, people have at least one dead game that’s been sitting on their shelves lonely and forgotten.

    Well guess what? Its time to dust off and resurrect those long-neglected dead games, because the “Dead Games” event is coming!

    Aftershock: Dead Games!

    • Who: All you gamers, of course! Alive preferred (whereas the games can be alive or dead).
    • What: Resurrecting all those venerable but dusty and neglected games you’d like to play again, and/or show others why you love that game so much!
    • When: November 2nd, 2024.
    • Where: Holy Cross Lutheran Church [Click here for the address]
    • Why: Reuse, repurpose, recycle . . . and have a good time in the process.
    • How much: No charge! Bring some cash, though, for the Sale of the Dead Games!

    Another way to bring those dead games back to life is to offer them DOA to the…

    Sale of the Dead Games!

    This is a fundraiser for the annual Nuke-Con convention. So empty out your coff – er, closet and help out your favorite convention at the same time.

    Remember: The Dead Games will live again on November 2, 2024. Bring your living friends (and their dead games) along as well!
