DESCRIPTION:What You Get\nIn September our board game concierge is teaching some great games that aren’t even available for retail purchase yet and we’ll be keeping the spooky vibes strong in October with Inferno! \nEndeavor: Deep Sea was the 2025 Kennerspiel des Jahres winner! This is an award given each year to the best connoisseur board game or more complex games that are suitable for experienced gamers. \nLightning Train was pre-released at Gencon this year\, and we snagged a copy! \nInferno is a highly rated soul management game where each player must guide sinners to their respective circles in Hell. Another Gencon purchase we couldn’t resist! \nSome modern board game experience is necessary.  We will have the game setup when you arrive\, do a full teach of the rules and answer any questions along the way\, but these are much more complex games that will likely be difficult for someone brand new to the hobby. \nTicket includes full setup/teach/questions answered for the duration of the game\, your game pass for the entire day\, one free drink and a button for completing the concierge game!  You should expect any concierge game to take a minimum of 2 hours to complete. \nMore Info\nOne ticket per person. \nIt is always helpful to arrive 10-15 minutes early to park\, get your drink/snacks and get settled at your table.  Parking info can be found here. \nEndeavor: Deep Sea is currently out of stock at the publisher and Lighting Train won’t be available for retail purchase until September 30\, but you can play all of these games now at The Scratching Post and pre-order copies from us if you love them! We donate 20% of the profits from our food\, drink and merch sales back to our partner non-profit rescues\, so buying a game from us levels up your good vibes. 😎 \nSeptember Concierge Game Schedule\nTickets for each night sold separately \n\nSunday\, Sept 7 – Endeavor: Deep Sea\nSunday\, Sept 14 – Lightning Train\nSunday\, Sept 21 – Endeavor: Deep Sea\nSunday\, Sept 28 – Lightning Train\n\nOctober Concierge Game Schedule\nTickets for each night sold separately \n\nSunday\, Oct 12 – Inferno\nSunday\, Oct 26 – Inferno\n\n \n\n\nPowered by SimpleTix

SUMMARY:Play 500+ Board Games
DESCRIPTION:Our library has over 500 board games\, both classic and modern.\n–Want to keep it simple with something like Monopoly or Jenga? We’ve got you covered.

We have lots of tools to help you choose a game (see our game picker linked below\,) learn a game without actually reading the rules (most games are stickered with a QR code that takes you to a how to play video….for those of you that hate reading rulebooks) or you can even bring in your own game/DND group/etc. Same game pass pricing applies.\n–PLUS we have snacks\, drinks\, alcohol\, cats (in their separate lounge but viewable from the cafe side through large windows) and all the good vibes.\n20% of the profits from our food\, drink and merch sales go back to our partner rescues. Hang out. Buy stuff. Help cats.\n–\nCheck out our full game list here:https://scratchingpostcu.com/game-table-reservations/\n–\nSee what our Game Picker suggests for you here: https://gamepicker.scratchingpostcu.com/
