Area 42 Games

Area 42 is dedicated to great gaming experiences, from board games to card games, role playing games to table top miniature warfare. We host game days where we feature a specific game as well as open game nights that are more free form in nature.

Area 42 is also a game store where you can come to purchase games. We keep a medium sized inventory for browsing at our game days but we also handle special orders and can usually get your items to you in just a couple of days. But first and foremost we love games, gaming and gamers. We are gamers and we want to meet you.

  So ... lots of people liked the little plastic TARDIS that I printed on my 3D printer. I looked into what it actually costs me to print one, and it looks like they'll cost $1.50 each. If you want one, let me know (either here or email me at <tardis@trader.name>) and I'll deliver them at the next Area 42 meetup.

  I'll bring Battlestar Galactica (with both Pegasus and Exodus expansions), Shadows Over Camelot (with the 8th knight/Company Of Knights exp), Red November, and Quo Vadis. Don't know games like Settlers Of Catan where you can make temporary alliances and then break them count, but I'll bring them anyways.
