We just figured we’d give a quick update to say that we won’t be holding a gaming day this month. December is a crazy time for everyone, so we’ll be holding our next event in January. Keep an eye peeled for our December newsletter going out soon with more information and a solid date and time.

A really big thanks goes out to Sifteo, for donating a starter pack and 3 extra Sifteo cubes!

We’ve got some big plans for incorporation these cubes into our social groups by using games already developed for them, and eventually developing some of our own!

A big thanks to Daniel Solis over at Smart Play Games for donating copies of Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple and Happy Birthday Robot! to our game library.

Both of these storytelling games will be a great addition to our programs, and I look forward to sharing these with kids and coming up with all sorts of interesting tales.
