Board Games for the Birthday Boy| Boba's Bday Celebration

Boba had his birthday last month, and I organized a day of fun. We both happened to be off that day, so we got to spend his whole birthday together^^ Work was really stressful that week, and I'm happy that I was able to gather our friends together for an event. I felt like I didn't do enough for his birthday last year, so this time I wanted to make sure that he had a great time.

First we decided to hit up a store that has Magic the Gathering tournaments as well Magic decks and other board and card games. They even had the deck that I had been searching for for awhile. It was the Fate Reforged White/Red deck, and I also bought the Red/Black Dragons of Tarkir deck. I really loved this block of Magic. I'm excited to see what the theme of the next block will be^^

That night I had made a reservation at The Uncommons at 10 PM till closing. I had visited the game cafe before during my second Geek Girl Brunch and thought Boba would love it. I invited a few of our friends to play games with us. We took a nap and headed to the game cafe and meet our friends. Luckily, they have serve food, so Boba ordered an iced coffee to give him some perk, but I could see an adorable energetic gleam in his eyes. He looked so excited^^

The gang

We played a bunch of games and friendships were tested lol I found how petty them tricks were during Uno. Uno always ruins friendships!

Boba delivering Xander some bad news. Jason's just happy it's not him haha

20 Sided Brunch| Geek Girl Brunch NYC

Hey peeps, super happy that I have the day off today. I attended my second Geek Girl Brunch last month and had a great time. The brunch was a nice way to spend a rainy day. We met at The Uncommons which is a gaming cafe near Washington Square Park. I was excited to learn from their website that they host Friday Night Magic! We used what they call their private board room for the brunch.

 Their epic wall of games; the private room is thought that little door

I loved that they had a mix of traditional board and card games along with indie board/card games. They had a nice selection of Magic: The Gathering cards. They also have a full menu of food and drinks (including beer and wine). I decided to get a pepperoni personal pizza and it wasn't bad. There is a drink limit since the owner's want to have a family vibe in case parents want to come with their children. When I went it was only adults which was kinda refreshing because I didn't feel awkward. It's nice to know that there are other people that have nostalgia over playing board games.

Gameosity.com sponsored the event and let us try some of their games. The representatives from Gameosity were really nice. My table decided to play The Game of Life. I started off being a farmer and then switched to being a lawyer. I wish I could make as much money as some of the jobs in the game lol They were making bank!

I was shocked that I one of the raffles! I typically don't win any kind of contest or giveaway, so it was an awesome surprise. I won a board game called Avalon. I'm excited to play it when I get enough people since I love the King Arthur mythology.

Overall, I had a lot of fun and it was great finding a new place that I would love to take Boba to. I'm excited to attend their event this week at Sakura Matsuri. It will be Lolita themed which is awesome because I haven't worn my lucky pack from Baby the Stars Shine Bright^^ I'm so happy that I found this group because it has been so positive and a lot of fun! I still need to write about what I went through with them to get that coord. I have a blog post coming up talking about my experiences ordering from a few companies online. Tomorrow me and my friends'll be fighting Titans at an event called Escape the Walled City in Staten Island with Real Escape Games. Wish ya girl luck!
