In this week's newsletter:
- Vault Bowl!
- New In
- Upcoming Events
As the school holidays draw to an end its going to be a busy time for us here. With lots of companies starting their Christmas release schedule all those games that have been delayed and on the horizon for so long will be out. The first highly anticipated release, Castle Ravenloft, is out this week and we will have a display copy so that you can see the quality of the game. For D&D fans, don't forget that we have the Red Box Game Day on Saturday, 11 September.
Dust Tactics looks like it will be out next week and then we have the Space Hulk card game the week after. It's a great time of the year to be a gamer.
Vault Bowl!
The team submission deadline is fast approaching for the Vault Bowl tournament. Please ensure that you submit a copy of your team roster to either Paul, Matt or Steve by PM, or by bringing a printed copy to the shop, by Saturday, 4 September.
