We have finalized the details of our Iron Man party, and with over 50 people signed up already it is looking like it will be a blast! Please give us a call at 613-825-0688 to reserve your spot in the biggest party for this summer’s hottest movie!

Here is the schedule.

Monday, May 3rd – Pre-Payment Deadline

Friday, May 7th – Party & Movie

You know that old adage ”You snooze, you lose?”  Well, we won’t be so mean, but the tournament for April 24 is full!  There is good news, though!  There’s another tournament scheduled for May 15!  So if you want to be a part of the action, sign up fast!  It’s already filling up!

[Edit:] Wow! Much to our surprise, the Gogo’s tournament on May 15th is already filled to the brim as well! Sorry for those of you who wanted to participate this time and didn’t get a chance! But you guys can rest assured we’ll be having another one soon after that!

Thanks to everybody who came and had fun at our last meeting. We were lucky enough to have 16 Guests on our very first night!

Next Meeting: Monday May 10th 6:30PM – 10:00PM. We are doing these monthly for now as the next two months for us will be very busy in store as we prepare for and celebrate our Store’s 5 Year Anniversary.

We are hoping to try out: Power Grid, Puerto Rico, Battle Lore,
Memoir ’44, Arkham Horror, Small World, Manhattan, Chaos in the Old World and many more options available.

Currently we don’t have an open copy of Battle Lore. Anyone who has this and would like to bring it would be a life-saver.

The Setup: Again we will have 4 large tables setup with potential seating for 16-20 people.

Food / Drink: As these meetings take place in our store there can’t be any form of alcohol. However, we do have cold cans of pop and water bottles available for $1.00 each and microwave popcorn available for $2.00 and assorted candy/gum for those who don’t want to bring their own. (Please refrain from snacks that could be damaging to the board games like cheetos etc.) Crackers, chips, cookies, veggies etc are fine.

One final note: While we want as many people to play the games they want to play as possible, it does mean we may not have either enough interest or players to play certain games. If you come with the intention of playing a specific game, please do not be discouraged if we do not play it this time. We want everyone to have an open mind about trying new games they haven’t played before.

Hope to see you all There!

Alright guys! We’ve been promising a board game night for a while now and we finally deliver! Next Monday will be the trial run of our Barrhaven Board Game Night! So if you’re looking to play a board game next week, Toys on Fire’s the place to do it.

Our first night will be this coming Monday, April 12th at 6:30 – 10:00 PM. (We are extending our store hours later for this night)

Games: We are thinking of setting up 3 8-foot tables so we want to run 1 or 2 larger games and 2 medium sized games with fillers inbetween. We have lots of games to choose from, our rentals are available for play and some others that the staff will bring. This will be a very open format event and you are welcome to come with your friends and play as you like. You are also welcome to bring one of your own games, and even teach it to others if you would like. Please let us know which games you would like to see so we can make sure we have all the rules down ahead of time.

We’ll have a bunch of board games here for people to try out, including:

- Days of Wonder’s Ticket to Ride Europe
- Days of Wonder’s Mystery Express
- Eagle Games’ Railways of the World
- Z-Man Games’ Neuroshima Hex
- Flying Frog’s Last Night on Earth

Food / Drink: As this is taking place in our store there can’t be any form of alcohol. However, we do have cold cans of pop available for $1.00 each and microwave popcorn available for $2.00 for those who don’t want to bring their own. (Please refrain from snacks that could be damaging to the board games like cheetos etc.) Crackers, chips, cookies, veggies etc are fine.

If you would like to request we bring a game, feel free to shoot us an e-mail and we’ll see if we can oblige you.

One final note: While we want as many people to play the games they want to play as possible, it does mean we may not have either enough interest or players to play certain games. If you come with the intention of playing a specific game, please do not be discouraged if we do not play it this time. We want everyone to have an open mind about trying new games they haven’t played before.

Hope to see you all There!
