Play for a Cause

Play for a Cause - Game Night That Gives Back

Join Banditos Gaming for a night of great food and great games - where a portion of every purchase supports our mission to build community through play.

The one thing you must do: use promo code FUND4U

This is what makes the night count. Without the code, your purchase doesn't count toward the fundraiser - even if you're sitting at our tables.

  • Dine in: Enter FUND4U at the register or kiosk.

  • Order online or in the app: Enter FUND4U at checkout.

That's it. Order what you'd normally order, enter the code, and Panera donates a portion of the sale to Banditos Gaming, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

How to make the night a success

  • Come hungry and use code FUND4U.

  • Bring friends and family - every person who orders with the code grows the donation.

  • Can't make it in person? Order online with the code during the event window and you still count.

  • Share this event with anyone who loves games, good food, or a good cause.

Games will be out on the tables all night. Play your favorites, learn something new, and eat well knowing your meal is doing double duty.

RSVP in the comments below

Comment with Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA so we know how many tables to set up and which games to bring.

Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA

Example: "Dave / Yes / arriving 11:00 AM, staying until 4:00 PM"

  • Yes - Include your ETA. If you know roughly how long you'll stay, add that too - it helps us match you to games that fit your window.

  • Maybe - Tell us when you'd likely swing by.

  • No - Still comment! It helps us get an accurate headcount. Catch you next time.

Bringing a game you love to teach? Mention it in your RSVP so others can plan to join you.

FATDOG - Friday After Thanksgiving Day of Gaming

🦃 FATDOG - Friday After Thanksgiving Day of Gaming

You survived the feast. You skipped the doorbusters. Now spend the best day of the long weekend the right way - at the table. Banditos Gaming, your friendly neighborhood 501(c)(3) nonprofit, invites you to FATDOG: the Friday After Thanksgiving Day of Gaming. Eleven hours, one big room full of games, and no leftovers required.

Whether you are a casual player or a seasoned strategist, this day is for everyone. Roll in when you can, stay as long as you like, and let us handle the rest.

What to expect

  • Drop in anytime - stay for one game or game all eleven hours.

  • Play what you love, from light party games to deep, brain-burning strategy titles.

  • Bring your crew and claim a table, or roll up solo and we will get you into a game.

  • No experience needed. We will happily teach anything on the table.

  • Meet fellow gamers - connect, compete, and collaborate.

  • Fuel up - Panera has the coffee, cocoa, and food. Please support our host by making a purchase while you play.

Your FATDOG game hosts

Hosts will be on hand throughout the day with games ready to teach - so come learn something new, or bring a favorite of your own. Bringing a game you love to teach? Mention it in your RSVP so others can plan to join you.

RSVP in the comments below - it matters!

An all-day event means people arrive in waves, and RSVPs are how we plan them. Your ETA tells us when to schedule game starts, which games to have ready, and how many tables we will need at any given hour. Please comment before the event using this format:

Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA

Example: Dave / Yes / arriving 11:00 AM, staying until 4:00 PM

  • Yes - Include your ETA. If you know roughly how long you will stay, add that too - it helps us match you to games that fit your window.

  • Maybe - Tell us when you would likely swing by.

  • No - Still comment! It helps us get an accurate headcount. Catch you next time.

Play for a Cause

Play for a Cause - Game Night That Gives Back

Join Banditos Gaming for a night of great food and great games - where a portion of every purchase supports our mission to build community through play.

The one thing you must do: use promo code FUND4U

This is what makes the night count. Without the code, your purchase doesn't count toward the fundraiser - even if you're sitting at our tables.

  • Dine in: Enter FUND4U at the register or kiosk.

  • Order online or in the app: Enter FUND4U at checkout.

That's it. Order what you'd normally order, enter the code, and Panera donates a portion of the sale to Banditos Gaming, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

How to make the night a success

  • Come hungry and use code FUND4U.

  • Bring friends and family - every person who orders with the code grows the donation.

  • Can't make it in person? Order online with the code during the event window and you still count.

  • Share this event with anyone who loves games, good food, or a good cause.

Games will be out on the tables all night. Play your favorites, learn something new, and eat well knowing your meal is doing double duty.

RSVP in the comments below

Comment with Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA so we know how many tables to set up and which games to bring.

Coffee and Cardboard: Holiday Edition

An all-day gaming marathon and gift exchange

Banditos Gaming - your friendly neighborhood 501(c)(3) nonprofit - invites you to close out the year with a full day of board gaming and a gift exchange. Whether you're a casual player or a seasoned strategist, this event is for everyone.

What to expect

  • Drop in anytime - stay for an hour or game all day. Eleven hours of tables means there is room for you whenever you get here.

  • Play what you love, from light and accessible games to deep, brain-burning strategy titles.

  • Swap a gift - our holiday exchange runs during the event. Details below.

  • Meet fellow gamers - connect, compete, and collaborate.

  • No experience needed. We'll happily teach anything on the table.

  • Fuel up - Panera's got the coffee and food, we've got the games. Please support our host by making a purchase while you play.

The gift exchange

We're running a holiday gift exchange this year. The full rules are coming shortly - watch this page. Here is what we can tell you now: bring one wrapped gift, keep it modest, and be here when the swap starts. Add "gift exchange: yes" to your RSVP so we know how many to plan for. Not bringing a gift? Come anyway. The games run all day either way.

RSVP in the comments below - it matters!

An all-day event means people arrive in waves, and RSVPs are how we plan them. Your ETA tells us when to schedule game starts, which games to have ready, and how many tables we'll need at any given hour. The gift exchange adds one more reason - we can't set a swap time until we know who's in.

Please comment before the event using this format:

Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA / Gift exchange: yes or no

Example: "Dave / Yes / arriving 11:00 AM, staying until 4:00 PM / Gift exchange: yes"

  • Yes - Include your ETA. If you know roughly how long you'll stay, add that too - it helps us match you to games that fit your window.

  • Maybe - Tell us when you'd likely swing by.

  • No - Still comment! It helps us get an accurate headcount. Catch you next time.

  • Gift exchange - Answer either way. If you're in, plan to be here at swap time.

Banditos Gaming - your friendly neighborhood 501(c)(3) nonprofit - invites you to a full day of board gaming. Whether you're a casual player or a seasoned strategist, this event is for everyone.

What to expect

  • Drop in anytime - stay for an hour or game all day.

  • Play what you love, from light and accessible games to deep, brain-burning strategy titles.

  • Meet fellow gamers - connect, compete, and collaborate.

  • No experience needed. We'll happily teach anything on the table.

  • Fuel up - Panera's got the coffee and food, we've got the games. Please support our host by making a purchase while you play.

RSVP in the comments below - it matters!

An all-day event means people arrive in waves, and RSVPs are how we plan them. Your ETA tells us when to schedule game starts, which games to have ready, and how many tables we'll need at any given hour. Please comment before the event using this format:

Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA

Example: "Dave / Yes / arriving 11:00 AM, staying until 4:00 PM"

  • Yes - Include your ETA. If you know roughly how long you'll stay, add that too - it helps us match you to games that fit your window.

  • Maybe - Tell us when you'd likely swing by.

  • No - Still comment! It helps us get an accurate headcount. Catch you next time.

Bringing a game you love to teach? Mention it in your RSVP so others can plan to join you.

Play for a Cause

Play for a Cause - Game Night That Gives Back

Join Banditos Gaming for a night of great food and great games - where a portion of every purchase supports our mission to build community through play.

The one thing you must do: use promo code FUND4U

This is what makes the night count. Without the code, your purchase doesn't count toward the fundraiser - even if you're sitting at our tables.

  • Dine in: Enter FUND4U at the register or kiosk.

  • Order online or in the app: Enter FUND4U at checkout.

That's it. Order what you'd normally order, enter the code, and Panera donates a portion of the sale to Banditos Gaming, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

How to make the night a success

  • Come hungry and use code FUND4U.

  • Bring friends and family - every person who orders with the code grows the donation.

  • Can't make it in person? Order online with the code during the event window and you still count.

  • Share this event with anyone who loves games, good food, or a good cause.

Games will be out on the tables all night. Play your favorites, learn something new, and eat well knowing your meal is doing double duty.

Comment with Name / Yes, No, or Maybe / ETA so we know how many tables to set up and which games to bring.

Board Game Night @ Sparkle Bookstore

🎲 Board Game Night @ Sparkle Bookstore

Hosted by Banditos Gaming
📍 Sparkle Bookstore – 642 Main Street, Sparkill, NY 10976

Banditos Gaming is teaming up with our friends at Sparkle Bookstore for an evening of tabletop gaming, community connection, and casual fun — and you’re invited. Whether you’re a lifelong gamer, a casual card flipper, or just curious to try something new, there’s a seat at the table for you. We’ll be bringing a diverse library of games (from quick party hits to deeper titles) along with hosts to help teach, guide, and pair players with games they’ll love. No experience needed. No pressure to perform. Just show up, hang out, and play.

Expect a curated mix of tabletop games, a welcoming space for 10–15 players, and folks on hand to teach the rules so you can jump right in. Sparkle’s snack bar will be open throughout the night (trust us — you’ll want to grab something), and there’s plenty of free parking nearby in the Depot Square lot.

This is community gaming, Banditos-style: inclusive, curious, low-stakes, high-fun. It’s free to attend — just bring your curiosity and maybe a friend or two. Want to help spread the word? Share the event or invite someone new to the hobby. This is what we’re all about.
