The Great Board Game Clearance at Toys on Fire

Just a little info for those who aren’t in the know, Toys on Fire is a small-ish toys/board game shop in the South-West end of Ottawa (Barrhaven.) We pride ourselves on having one of the cleanest board game sections in Ottawa, and are also proud of our 700+ selection of games.

However, in our quest to have over 700 games, we have become somewhat overstocked and we are having trouble fitting all the new games into ever-growing aisle. So in order to continue stocking all the new games and fitting them in the aisle, we have created an entire end-cap of games on sale!

So the deal works like this, if you see a green coloured price tag on a game, it means the game is 15% off. But, if you’re a Toys on Fire newsletter subscriber then you’ll get 25% off instead. If you decide to get crazy with the Cheez Whiz and buy over $200 worth of games before discounts, then we’ll give you an additional 5% off.

I know this partially sounds like a scheme to get you to sign up to our newsletter, and it is, but I really do put a lot of board game information in there, and we have all sorts of great sales going on all the time for our newsletter costumers.

I’d like to thank everyone for coming out again, and we hope you enjoyed yourselves. Hopefully we’ll see you all on September 12th for our 9th Bakugan Tournament!

Here are the winners (and some other pictures):

Hey Guys!

Okay, so the first announcement (and we apologize immensely for the lateness),  players in the beginners division will not be using any ability cards! You’ll still need 3 metal gate cards (one of each different colour) and 3 Bakugan, and a trap if you want to bring one, but beginners will not be using ability cards. Some of you alreayd knew this from the Bakugan training days, but apologies for those of you who didn’t know this before hand.

So I guess most of you partcipating in the tournament want to know what you’re going to be playing for. So without further ado, the prizes:

1st place (in division): $15 Gift Certificate

2nd place (in division): $10 Gift Certificate

3rd place (in division): $5 Gift Certificate

Keep in mind guys that these prizes are for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each division!

We also might have some extra prizes care of Sony Pictures and Game Summit! SEE YOU ALL THERE!

Hey Folks!

Just a reminder that the 2009 Summer Game Summit is coming up soon! Some of you are wondering what that is right now, and I’ll tell you. It’s Ottawa’s bi-yearly classic gaming convention. Good old fashioned dice rolling or minature moving or card playing. It’s fun for everyone, with a plethora of board games for people to rent out and try! There’s also lots of Warhammer, W40k and Lord of the Rings tournaments for those with miniatures armies itching for a fight, and an RPG den for people to learn how to play D&D ! I’ve also heard there will be Pokemon and Chaotic tournaments as well. For those more artistically inclined, there’s (miniatures) painting workshops, where you get your very own little miniature that you can practice your painting on and keep after! There’s gonna be loads of paints and and paintbrushes for people to use. Of course, the most obvious reason to go is because we’re gonna be there!

So without further ado, here’s all the info:
