Hello Gamers!

Big news for Battlegrounds Gaming!

The warehouse space behind/part of our shop has been rented out and the new tenant is taking the whole space. Battlegrounds Gaming will have to relocate. For the past 4 weeks I’ve been looking at places and trying to find something to fit our needs. I’ve found a space that will work and I’m trying to secure it for our new location. Once a deal is finalized, our new address will be everywhere: Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Nextdoor, websites, etc.

In the meantime, I need to sell lots of things so I don’t have to move lots of things! I’m having an early sale for Mon-Tue-Wed before Thanksgiving. Then a bigger sale for the Fri-Sat-Sun after! The sale will be on in-store items only and not on the web-site. I’d be too afraid to lose an order that was not picked up during the move. Details are below and more sales (on TCG products) will be announced Monday, November 22.

Please be aware and keep in mind that Battlegrounds Gaming will be closed November 29-30 as we pack up the store. I expect to be setting up our new location Dec 1-2 if everything goes well. Please follow any of the social media sites mentioned above for our progress.

I know this is sudden and unexpected. I’m still trying to adjust myself. Trust me when I say I would have chosen any other time of year to move. Stay connected and you’ll find out our new location once the lease is signed!

Hope to see you next week. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Hello patrons, gamers, and friends, As you may have heard, Governor Ned Lamont will further relax COVID restrictions on many businesses May 1 and nearly all businesses by May 19. 

We’re excited to get back to normal, but there are still some things that need to be in place before we can host in-store gaming again. In no particular order:

1. CT Department of Health needs to provide guidelines for in-door entertainment venues (this actually happened April 21. I am reviewing)
2. Wizards of the Coast and the Pokemon Company need clear Official Play for shops.
3. My employees need to be fully vaccinated.
4. Product needs to be available (Pokemon, Flesh & Blood TCG, Digimon TCG, etc)

At this time, I expect to host some events starting in June; however, as of now, there is no set date and it is subject to change. I’ll do my best to keep you informed.

Though more details still need to be worked out, here is what I know:

• We will start slowly. Events only Fri-Sat-Sun at first. Then adding some weeknights later during the summer.
• Store credit can not be used to pay for event fees.
• Masks will be required. 
• Food and drinks will not be allowed due to wearing masks. 
• Events will have an attendance capacity (maximum number of participants), so online preregistration will be mandatory (no walk-in sign-ups – sorry).

I know these restrictions may take away some of the fun, but they are temporary and will be eased over time. Some more quickly than others. Soon, I hope, we will return to the level of comfort you have enjoyed in the past at Battlegrounds Gaming. 

We would not have been able to weather COVID shutdowns without your support. Thank you. We are looking forward to seeing you play here again soon.  

In the meantime, you can always come in to pick up something to keep you busy and entertained.  As always, follow our social media (links below) for further announcements and updates.

Early release: April 16, 2021
This set, there are 2 products available during early release: Prerelease kits and SET booster boxes. Draft booster boxes will be available on official release.
