The next Game Summit will be here before you know it! Coming up on February 17 -- 19 at the Nepean Sportsplex which right down the street from us! If you’re unlucky enough not to be right down the street from the Nepean Sportsplex and live in London, Toronto, or Kingston, you’re in luck: There’s going to be a Game Summit Shuttle Bus! Another addition is that of space! It got a little cramped last year, so this year they’ve taken over a separate tournament room! By the sounds of it, they’re going to need the extra space.
All the other information can be found on the Game Summit website or in the BoardGameGeek thread.
Mark it off on your calendars, boys and girls. This one’s going to be a doozy.
P.S. Check out this video trailer! (I’m in there briefly!)
P.P.S.
It’s the weekend before Family Day, and if you’re familiar with our shenanigans then that is going to be one absolutely bizarre weekend.
Hey guys! After numerous requests from people to get this going again, we have decided to do a few game nights this fall. So for all of you who are interested, here is the 2011 game night schedule.
2011 Game Night #1 – Tuesday, October 4th 2011

Bring Friends! Please invite friends and tell others about these events. We always love to see new faces and want to develop the size of the gaming community in Ottawa.
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!
Also a special thank you to those of you who show up regularly and help others to play games!
If you want to go see Gray at CanGames, now is the time. He’s there right now peddling his wares. Go and say “Hi!” as I’m sure he would appreciate it. After that, you can go play some board games, and then after that you can buy that board game from us. Hurray! The board game section at the store is looking a bit like a toothless grin, so you’ll want to stop by CanGames anyhow if you need a game.
Blessed are we, the board gamers of Ottawa, for we have two wonderful conventions that we can attend in our fine city! The next one on the ol’ ‘genda is CanGames – Ottawa’s oldest board game convention. CanGames is always a good time and it seems to attract the majority of the really hardcore gamers in the city. Not that that means the not-so hardcore can’t come and participate – quite the contrary – there’s always something cool going on. Whenever I go to CanGames, I never venture too deep into the game room, instead I focus on digging through the dealer’s room to find awesome deals and rare wares (and hope that these things are one in the same.)

Happy New Year! Now get ready, Ottawa’s upcoming gaming event is just over a month away: Game Summit is back for its fifth and biggest event ever, February 18th, 19th and 20th at the Nepean Sportsplex in Ottawa. Bringing more to the table than ever before for dice-throwers, role-players and war-gamers alike, Game Summit is the place for good times this winter.
For the first time, Game Summit is opening its doors on the Friday night (5pm – 11pm) for an evening of open gaming in all three areas.
In the Pavilion, what about some big expansion games, example: Settlers of Catan with all its popular expansions and the maximum players.
In the Arena war tables are available for historical and specialist gaming: Blood Bowl, Battlefleet Gothic, Inquisitor or anything else you’d like to plan with your friends.
In the Den reserve a table and run any RPG with your friends or pass the word around and plan a CCG / TCG event.
