“The support and enthusiasm from local gamers have been amazing. Our goal has always been to create a fun, welcoming space for everyone to connect and explore new games, and we’re thrilled to have done that over the past year.”

Guild of Games already hosts regular events, tournaments and gatherings for various types of games. The community’s love for the place was highlighted when one player had the shop’s logo tattooed on his arm.

The plans for year two are to expand the product range, and add new games nights, workshops and partnerships.
