Our 2nd annual Summer Game Day event is a joint effort between Diversions and Chits and Bits to provide our local gaming community with a chance to get together for a cause and shake up their game libraries in the process.

All-Day Gaming:
With everything else we have going on, this may end up being background noise! There is open gaming from 9:00am to midnight, and we will provide some snacks and store specials.

Used Board Game Sale:
The main event is a Used Board Game Sale that will take place all day. Anyone who has something in their personal libraries that they’re looking to trade out for something new will be able to bring it to the shop, set the price they’d like to sell it for, then browse all of the games that others have brought in and find something new. Any game that you bring in that is sold will earn you store credit equal to the price you set for it. Want to sell a copy of Catan for $10.00? If someone buys it, you’ll get $10.00 in Diversions store credit. Store credit will be issued by Tuesday, July 17 in a lump sum. If you sell $50.00 worth of games over the course of the day, you’ll get a single gift card worth $50.00. Any titles that did not sell should be picked up by Sunday, July 22.

To make things easy, an ‘Entry Sheet’ can be found here (hard copies will be available in the shop) and has all of the information that we will need from people looking to sell some games. On this sheet you’ll need to include your name, some contact information, the games that you’ll bring in to sell and how much you’d like to charge for them, and a signature line stating that all of the pieces for each game that you’re bringing are all accounted for. After you’ve filled out the sheet, bring it into the store with all of the games that you’re selling so that we can organize them and prep them for the sale. The cutoff for bringing in games is Monday, July 9th. A couple of days before the event, we will post a list of all of the games up for sale on our social media so that all you shoppers can prep accordingly.

Chits and Bits Raffle:
In addition to the Used Board Game Sale, everyone’s favorite Extra Life team, Chits and Bits, will be hosting a raffle to raise money for the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital with some fabulous prizes to show for it. If you aren’t familiar with Extra Life, this is a perfect time to learn what it’s all about and help kids by playing games.

Splendor Tournament:
A Splendor tournament will kick off at 1:00 PM for anyone that would like to sign up. Participation is free and the winner will receive a $15.00 gift card to the store.

Ice Cream Bar:
To round off the night we’ll be providing a make-your-own-sundae ice cream bar in the evening to put the fundraising cherry on the day. The ice cream bar will cost $5.00 per person with all of the proceeds going directly to the BBCH.

Be sure not to miss our biggest event of the summer, and maybe even make some money in the process!
