We are closed due to the inclement weather again today, January 7th. We hope to reopen on Saturday. We’ll update here and on all our social media when we have a better idea. Stay warm, stay safe, and hopefully you have some board games to play!
Looking for that last minute holiday gift? We still have plenty of games in stock that you can come in and purchase. Need a suggestion? Email us and we’ll help you make the perfect pick!
But even easier are our Instagift gift cards. You can go online, purchase a Game Point branded gift card, and then have that card emailed instantly to your recipient. It’s the ultimate last minute holiday surprise. Just head on over to our instagift store and make some one’s holiday!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from all of us at Game Point!
It’s our fourth anniversary and we’re rolling out the red* dice to provide discounts to our gaming community!
Commit to buy any of our many games in stock before November 15 and save 10% – 24% on your purchase. The percentage discount will equal the total you roll on four dice. That is, role four 6s and save 24%, role 2,3,3,5 (my favorite four digit number that isn’t my ATM pin number) and save 13%. And because we love most of you, we’re making the minimum discount 10% for all of you.
Getting to 4 wasn’t as easy as it sounds. In fact, it may have been as difficult as learning the rules to Agricola, Scythe or perhaps even Ticket to Ride by reading the instructions. We survived a tornado that knocked our power out for weeks, a pandemic that still rears its ugly head as well as less drastic things like a few over-heated Battleship battles.
We thank all of the Catan cultists, the Dominion dabblers and the Q-Less conquerors. So come on in, play some games and take some home with you as well – there’s always time for games!
(Speaking of Q-Less, check out this locally-invented solitaire word game at our store; they are selling quickly!)
* Dice may not actually be red. Discount is only for retail game purchases and is not applicable to special orders (’cause they are at a darn great discount already). One discount purchase per person per day. Discount limited to the games you brought up to purchase before rolling, no adding or giving back based on your die roll. And other fine print that we hang up in the store.
One of the special things about Game Point is that, in addition to being a great place to gather with tasty treats and a fun library, we also try to host community gaming groups and events for people to discover the fun of tabletop games. Meeting new people and learning about them in a fun way is part of what makes board games special. We are excited to slowly be reintroducing those events to Game Point over the course of the fall. Keep your eyes on this space and our calendar or our Facebook page, where we’ll create FB events, as well.
Don’t see your favorite event right away, don’t fret! We will be launching more and more as we move forward. You can always reach out if you have questions though. Also, if you have an idea for an event, reach out and let us know. We love supporting community ideas by helping get events off the ground.
In the meantime, we are open daily from 7 am until 10 pm – come in, put those screens away, and enjoy some face to face time with family and friends!
The wait is finally over, we are back open and in full swing. We are open daily from 7 am to 10 pm for good coffee, great beers, tasty sandwiches and snacks, and of course, games!
We’ve cleaned up the game library, moved it back in, and are adding new games almost daily. So what are you waiting for? It has been way too long, and we have missed hosting you way too much, so make plans to come out soon. It’s game time again in Nashville!
We have cool air inside the building once again, so hours are back to the usual, regular ones – Monday through Friday, 7 am to 2 pm, Saturday and Sunday, 7 am to 4 pm. Come by for take out food or drink or to browse our game lirbary!
For all those of you yelling at your phone or monitor right now – what about in person game play?!? — rest assured we are working hard to get reopen as soon as we can. Getting the air conditioning repaired was one of many tasks we are working hard on – stay tuned for more info! In the meantime, got a comment on how we can make Game Point even better when we emerge form our cocoon – leave a comment or send us an email!
Our A/C units have failed and, by mid afternoon, it feels like someone gave birth to dragons in here. So, for everyone’s comfort, we will be closing at noon until we can get it repaired. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding.
Over the course of the past month, we’ve stocked a bunch of new games at Game Point. We have choices perfect for playing in small groups of vaccinated friends or for your (hopefully) late stage Covid bubble. Check out our online shop or stop by the café (masked up please), grab a latte, and browse the shelves while you wait! One game that definitely deserves a look is Tussie Mussie . . .
Tussie Mussie was designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, before she became a megahit with those Wingspan birds, and is a ‘micro’ game from publisher ButtonShy Games. It is extremely portable – consisting of a small wallet filled with a couple dozen cards and rules. Don’t be fooled, there’s a lot of play in that small package! Read on to learn more about what this game has to offer!
Bongo East / Game Point is open right now for take out and game retail and we could use your help! As reopening plans develop, we need to develop our team, as well. If you like games or coffee or both(!), then drop us a line, we’d love to meet with you!
Looking for that last minute holiday gift? Come on out to Game Point on Tuesday (12/22) or Wednesday (12/23) until 8 pm and cross everyone off your list. We’ll have a Game Coach on hand to help you pick that perfect present!
