The secret’s out- the Citadel Game Cellar is moving! 📦

Not only are we moving, we are collaborating with lucillescafect to make a boardgame cafe.

We’ll still host all of the events you love, but now we’ll also have a board game library, lounge space, a private DnD room you can book, and of course a full cafe!

We’ll have sign-ups for volunteers interested in participating in this massive move posted soon.

We couldn’t dream of a better way to go into our 50th year, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Do you want to participate in a Call of Cthulhu (7th edition) module play test?

Our friend William is looking for 4 - 6 players to play test his module "Something's Wicked Fishy at Narragansett Pier".

Here's what you need to know:
Players: Nominally 4-6, (Pregen characters provided)
Timing: Should take 4-6 hours over 2 sessions, but as this is a playtest, duration is less certain.
Experience: Better for returning players familiar with Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, but, newcomers are welcome
Acknowledgement: As play testers, participants will receive acknowledgement in the published module!

Summary: "Ahhh, sun and fun on the Rhode Island shore as the summer season of 1900 draws to a close, but something is stirring on the shore of Narragansett Pier; something that should have been left alone:
A cursed relic from the Iceland Expedition secreted into a Narragansett Pier collection,
A Lesser-God entombed; a spiritualist corrupted. Where are those missing people and what does the town's mythology have to do with the solution?
The spirits are pushing for a peaceful solution,
The Chaotic Lesser-God and his Minions are searching for a solution filled with pieces, not just of Narragansett, but of the entire world whose order offends them.
Can the Investigators stop the God's rebirth and the pending apocalypse?
From the campus of of Miskatonic University to the Shores of Rhode Island, join the Rapid Response Team to puzzle out the ramblings of an insane Professor and an eccentric Narragansett spiritualist to find the lost and prevent the maelstrom."

Want to play? Give us a call to reserve your spot!

Session 1: 10/19 @ 6pm
Session 2: 10/26 @ 6pm
Players should plan to be at both sessions!

There’s so many video games that have been adapted to board games- and we love it!

We really enjoy seeing how game designers decide to interpret video game mechanics for the table top.

We are also firm believers that if an IP tie-in can get someone playing who doesn’t wouldn’t, it’s worth it!

What video games turned board game is your favorite?

Tomorrow kicks off our new Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Exiled Lands campaign presented by NLCRPG.org! 🔥

"Seek gold and glory, winning it with sword and spell!"

- Session One (the funnel): is Sept. 26th.
- All following sessions will be the 2nd & 4th Saturday of each month at 4pm to 8pm.
- Sessions are all public events, all gamers welcome.
- Open Hexcrawl; Game sessions are episodic.
- Players aren’t required to attend every session!

”My name is Captain Thenas, above us on the cliff is Fort Bale and beyond that the town of En’Auteur. You have been exiled here for crimes against the empire, death would have been more merciful. You can stay down here with the dregs, or meet us at the fort above for a chance at a second life, the choice is yours. Welcome to the exiled lands!”

More campaign info:

The Exiled Lands is an open hexcrawl campaign. Each session is an encapsulated
adventure, players are not obligated to attend every single one. You’ll take on the role of exiles trying to carve out a life as adventurers. The exiled lands are a wild and untamed place. There are no natives here, but ancient ruins exist. Their long forgotten language scrawled across these ruins mark their passing.

New players will always begin with 4 level 0 characters. At the end of their first session they may choose one of the survivors to promote to level 1. That will be your primary character going forth.

Should your character die, you may promote another survivor to 1st level or continue playing with another group of level 0 characters. The cliffside harbor is always welcoming new meat for the grinder!

There is ample opportunity for gold and glory in the exiled lands! Do you think you have what it takes?

Back in stock: Dungeon Crawler Carl - Books 1 - 8! 💣✨

We are loving the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, and we are so excited to finally have them back in stock!

"You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not."

We are so excited for another board game night at The Stonington Free Library ✨

Members of our team are bringing their favorite games, and will be available to teach you how to play them. If you have your own favorite game, you're welcome to bring that as well!

Bring a friend, or make some new ones- either way it's going to be a ton of fun!

The only thing better than a game night, is an incredibly specific, niche ttrpg to play!

We carry a wide variety of indie and local TTRPG’s that are small, easy to learn, and often very silly.
