Coffee and Cardboard - New Year's Day Edition
Ring in the new year at the table. Banditos Gaming - your friendly neighborhood 501(c)(3) nonprofit - is hosting an all-day gaming marathon on New Year's Day. Sleep in, grab a coffee, and spend the first day of the year doing what we love most: playing games with good people. 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. Late night? We're here until 9:00 PM.
Play your first game of the year - from light and accessible games to deep, brain-burning strategy titles.
Crack open your holiday haul - got a new game as a gift? Bring it, and we'll help you get it to the table.
Meet fellow gamers - start the year with new friends, new rivals, and new teammates.
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.
New Year's resolution: play more games. We'll help you keep it.
RSVP in the comments below - it matters!
An all-day event means people arrive in waves, and on New Year's Day we expect a later-rising crowd. RSVPs are how we plan for it. 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 new holiday game or an old favorite to teach? Mention it in your RSVP so others can plan to join you.
