Announcing our 2nd annual Diversions Game Day on Saturday, September 3rd! This year’s event features:

All day gaming from noon to midnight:
We’ll have room for over 50 people to play all day! Bring your games from home to share or grab any of our demos and have fun. There will be designated spaces for your game bags and fans to keep you comfortable and cool the whole day.

Designer Showcase with Kevin Craine:
Kevin is local to the New Hampshire Seacoast and founded the Seacoast Game Design Meetup hosted at Diversions. Through this he began work on Baba Geek Games and Robit Riddle, an award-winning storytelling game about robots searching for their missing pets. Inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure style books, Robit Riddle features amazing artwork from John Ariosa of Mice and Mystics, Evolution, Summoner Wars and more. Encouraging interaction, cooperation, creativity, and – most importantly – fun, Robit Riddle makes for an engaging narrative adventure game not to miss. Kevin will be at Diversions from 12:00pm to 6:00pm to showcase his game. Look for the game on Kickstarter this October!

Play-to-Win Raffle:
Play The Game: Are you ready to play? between 12:00pm and 8:00pm for a chance to win a copy of the game! All players earn one raffle ticket after playing and one winner will be announced at 8:30pm. The winner does not need to be present to win. The Game is a 2015 Spiel des Jahres nominee where players have to play all the cards into four piles and fill the piles counting up from 1 to 100 or down from 100 to 1 using all the cards in the deck. If a player cannot make a play, the game is over! How well can you coordinate your moves with the other players? Are you ready to play?!

Refreshments:
Have a snack of coffee and brioche from La Maison Navarre and pizza from Joe’s New York Pizza throughout the day.
