News

October 14th, 2022 - Good Afternoon everyone and as usual, I have just been so busy trying to get other things in order that I forgot to post more regularly on our website of any upcoming events and news. As you saw below, we had our summer basket winner picked then we flew into the end of summer just gaming as much as we could. Along with our normal gaming days, we also were able to participate in the Toledo-Lucas County Library Summer program series where they had asked us to host events at their various branch locations for teens & adults looking for something new and different to enjoy. Meeting many of new faces, we shared our favorite "gateway" games with them and hopefully we will see them at the club in the future. BSG also will be participating in their FALL program as well at the following locations and times:

-- Heatherdowns Branch Library - Saturday Oct 15th @ 2PM

-- Sylvania Branch Library - Tuesday, Oct 18th @ 6PM

--Mott Branch Library - Wednesday, Oct 26th @ 11AM

Along with Fall comes our planning for our ANNUAL COOKIE SALE so please be on the lookout for those updates on our Facebook page as we will be taking "preorders" again this year with information on how to pick up your cookies. Lastly, I would like to also announce that Black Swamp Gamers now has our own PODCAST!! Our podcast called "BSG on Board Games!" recently went live with our first episode earlier this week and we anticipate to have a new one every month. We hope to share information about how the club formed, what we plan to do in the future, as well as friendly conversation with our club members about anything board game related. Check out the link here or through your favorite pod-cather - https://anchor.fm/bsgonbg and let us know what you think. I think with that, we are all up to date. Thakn you again everyone for your continued support and please feel free to stop in and meet us sometime. We are open regularly on Saturdays and Sundays at 2PM. Scroll down below to see how to find our club location. Thank you all and as always, Happy Gaming!

April 4th, 2022 - Hello everyone and as always, sorry for the REALLY long delay with posting on this website. Its much faster for us to post update to our Facebook.com/BlackSwampGamers page and this one just slips our mind. Thank you all for continuing to check us out on here though. We are coming up on our Officer elections in May with our club anniversary in June. This June, we have another family gift basket opportunity that will be our largest one yet. Please visit us again for more details once we make that announcement. Tickets will only be available for purchase through our link above once its live. We have recently had about 4 new accounts join the club so we have lots of new faces coming in. We love meeting new people and playing new games. If you have never came in before, come check us out to see what we are all about. We'll give you information when you arrive. Hopefully we will see you soon at the tables and be on the lookout for our newly revived "Sunday Signups" if you are interested in some longers games. Stay safe everyone and Happy Gaming!

June 29th, 2021 - Happy Tuesday everyone! I wanted to give you all an update on our website as to how the club has been since our reopen on June 19th. THANK YOU to everyone who was able to come out that day as we had our highest attendance yet with all positive comments about our new space. People had commented that it was the first time in years that the club had that "Club" feeling where you walk in and see people gaming on different tables and everyone just enjoying our favorite hobby. Thank you all for making that day feel special for us all.  Provided below are some photos of our new space, hopefully they can do it justice but honestly, you'll have to come game with us to believe it! The feel just has that vibe that makes you want to sit there and game all day now that its a bit more open. Some other photo provided here are of our outreach Day that was participated in with an area church group. We do help host game days with other organizations and if you have questions about how to set one of these days up, please use the contact link at the top!

As an update to our schedule, Independence Day is this coming weekend which we will have a slightly different schedule than normal: OPEN Friday the 2nd at 6PM, CLOSED Saturday the 3rd to family gatherings, OPEN Sunday the 4th at 2PM.

Thank you all again for helping us stay afloat and we hope to see you at the tables soon! Stay safe and Happy Gaming!!

May 20th, 2021 - Good Afternoon Everyone! We wanted to remind you all that our LAST day of gaming before we close the club up to move it to the new location will be this weekend, Saturday and Sunday starting at 2PM. 

After May 23rd, we will be CLOSED until JUNE 19th but be on the look out for other gaming opportunities that we will post for chances to play and gather in the meantime (For example, there is an event already planned in Delta on Friday June 4th as well as some noted HOME games that some members mentioned they would like to host). Once we have those details, we will let you all know. These will all be FREE to any participants and club membership is not required.

Last details we want to provide are about the new location as many people have expressed excitement and interest in what its looks like so far, where its specifically at, etc. We have been painting the last few weeks already and if you haven't seen the current space, moving some items out to get a jump start before moving day. On the map, we have highlighted parking areas as well as a STAR where the door to space is located. Its the lower door behind the building so if you park on 3rd street, there is a side alley to get to the back. The officers will be meeting tonight to discuss how we are going to layout the tables and shelves and will share more once we have it finalized. 

THANK YOU EVERYONE who has helped and are willing to help in the coming weeks. While moving is always stressful, we are confident that you all will appreciate the time and effort we are putting towards the new space and hope that it will be a good location for us to grow even further as a club! Happy Gaming All!
