Sellers
All sellers must complete this submission form to sell games in the auction: https://forms.gle/S4DVYqCmG8ee42fJ8
Seller submissions are limited to 25 items per household (expansions bundled with a game are okay). Any forms received in excess of the 25 Item limit will be disregarded. Once the form is complete, sellers may drop off their games at Diversions in South Portland between Monday, June 13 and Sunday, June 26. Sellers will receive Diversions store credit for each game of theirs which sold at the highest paid bid. Credit earned from the auction sales cannot be used on other games within the auction as we will not issue sellers’ credit until all payments have been collected.

Bidders
Games in the auction will have a minimum starting bid determined by the seller. New bids must be submitted in whole dollar amounts with a minimum increase of $1.00. Each game will have one photo with corresponding details about the game including the condition of the game and any extras/add-ons. Sellers may not bid on their own games. All bids are final, be prepared to pay for any bid you submit. Please bid at your own risk. While we have required all games to be complete without missing or damaged pieces, we cannot verify any details about the contents of the game. We cannot field questions about the contents or conditions of individual games. There are too many games and too few resources to honor these requests, unfortunately.

Winning bidders will be contacted within one week after the auction ends with an itemized list of your wins and the total amount due. Games must be paid for in full by credit card through our Shopify – Invoices will be emailed to the winners. Discounts, coupons, gift cards, store credit, and rewards are ineligible when purchasing your winnings. All purchased games must be picked up at Diversions in South Portland, ME by Sunday, August 21. We cannot ship or transfer any games bought in the Used Game Auction. All sales are final – no returns or exchanges will be accepted.

"Secret" Game Night
2022-07-29 17:00 - 21:00, 2022-08-05 17:00 - 21:00, 2022-08-12 17:00 - 21:00
Join us every Friday evening for our weekly “secret” board game night featuring light, medium, and heavy strategy games. Bring your favorites or try out some of our demos. (Games need to be family friendly). Stop in and play a game or two!

Why is it called “Secret” Game Night? It started with just a few people meeting up to play games on Friday evenings, a night that was open on our events calendar. Within a few weeks the word got out that games were going on and soon it was filled up every Friday with happy gamers, even though the event wasn’t on the calendar….so we added it!

Magic: the Gathering Booster Draft
2022-07-31 12:00 - 17:00, 2022-08-07 12:00 - 17:00, 2022-08-14 12:00 - 17:00
Join us for our weekly booster draft for Magic: Gathering. This is a sanctioned event through Wizards of the Coast. All players, beginners and seasoned are welcome to come play! Players must pay and register in the store by 11:45AM.

Entry for the event is $20, three booster packss and one entry fee. All players must have a Wizards Account with a valid email address. You can create an account here: https://myaccounts.wizards.com/register

In a booster draft, players are seated around a table and each player is given three booster packs. Each player opens a pack, selects a card from it and passes the remaining cards face down to his or her left. Each player then selects one of the remaining cards from the pack that was just passed to him or her, and passes the remaining cards to the left again. This continues until all of the cards are selected. The process is repeated with the second and third packs, except that the cards are passed to the right in the second pack. Players then build decks out of any cards that they selected during the drafting and add as many basic lands as they choose. Each deck built this way must have a minimum of 40 cards, including basic lands. Basic lands are provided.

After deckbuilding, the players are randomly matched up against an opponent and play a best two out of three games match. Players are awarded points for winning and will be matched against equally skilled players in the subsequent rounds. At the end of the tournament, booster packs or store credit are rewarded to the top three players.

We highly recommend downloading the Magic Companion App from the App or Play Store to follow along with the progress of the event from your phone!
