❤️🎲 WOW. WHAT. A. WEEKEND!!! 🎲❤️

Capital City Gaming Con 2026 is in the books, and all we can say is...

THANK YOU!!! 🙌🔥

To everyone who stopped by, played games, competed in our tournaments, or just came to hang out — YOU MADE THIS WEEKEND AMAZING!

But we have to give a HUGE shoutout to...

⚔️🔥 THE MAGIC COMMUNITY!!! 🔥⚔️

YOU. GUYS. SHOWED. UP.

From casual Commander to our first-ever convention tournament, you absolutely BLEW US AWAY!

And guess what?!

🤯 The convention organizers were SO impressed that we're ALREADY talking about EXPANDING MAGIC at next year's convention!!!

LET'S. FREAKING. GO!!! 🔥

We wanted to prove that Magic belongs at Capital City Gaming Con...

YOU MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. 💪

Huge thanks to the convention organizers, volunteers, our Wii Bowling competitors, and EVERYONE who helped make this weekend unforgettable!

❤️ This is why we do what we do.

Not just to sell games.

TO BUILD A COMMUNITY.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

⚔️ MAGIC IS HERE TO STAY! ⚔️

🔥 2027, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU! 🔥

10/18/2026

❤️🎲 WOW. JUST... WOW. THANK YOU!!! 🎲❤️

What. A. Weekend.

As we wrap up our time at Capital City Gaming Con 2026, we just want to take a moment to say something from the bottom of our hearts...

THANK YOU!!! ❤️

To everyone who stopped by, played some games, competed in our tournaments, cheered someone on, or just came over to say hello — YOU MADE THIS WEEKEND INCREDIBLE!

But we need to give an EXTRA SPECIAL shoutout to one particular group...

🔥⚔️ THE MAGIC: THE GATHERING COMMUNITY!!! ⚔️🔥

YOU. GUYS. SHOWED. UP.

And we don't mean just a little bit.

You showed up for free play.

You showed up for the Commander tournament.

You brought your decks, your friends, your competitive spirit, and most importantly, your LOVE for this ridiculous game we all enjoy so much.

And you know what?

YOU BLEW THE CONVENTION ORGANIZERS AWAY. 🤯

Seriously.

The response to Magic at this year's convention was so incredible that we're ALREADY IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT EXPANDING THE MAGIC PRESENCE AT NEXT YEAR'S CONVENTION! 👀🔥

LET THAT SINK IN.

We came into this weekend hoping to show the organizers that Magic deserved a place at Capital City Gaming Con.

YOU DIDN'T JUST PROVE IT. YOU MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. 💪

And that's what makes this community so special.

It's not just about the cards.

It's not about the expensive decks, the perfect combos, or who walks away with the trophy.

It's about the people sitting across the table from you.

The friendships.

The laughter.

The absolutely ridiculous plays.

And the community we've all helped build together.

❤️ We also want to extend a HUGE thank-you to the organizers and volunteers at Capital City Gaming Con for welcoming Never Bored Games, trusting us with these events, and giving us the opportunity to share what we love with so many people!

And to everyone who joined us for our Wii Sports Bowling Championship, thank you for helping us bring another fun, nostalgic, and wonderfully competitive event to the convention!

We're incredibly grateful for every single person who helped make this weekend possible.

When we opened Never Bored Games, the goal was never just to sell games.

It was to build a community around them.

And this weekend was a pretty incredible reminder of why we do what we do.

So from all of us at Never Bored Games...

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ❤️

And to the Magic community?

You wanted to show Capital City Gaming Con that MAGIC IS HERE TO STAY.

Well...

MESSAGE. FREAKING. RECEIVED. 😎🔥

Here's to an even BIGGER 2027!

🎲❤️ NEVER BORED GAMES — ELEVATE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT.

🎳🏆 WHO'S READY TO THROW SOME STRIKES?! 🏆🎳

We're OPEN 1PM–6PM today!

And we're wrapping up our weekend with TWO different events in TWO different locations!

First...

🎳🔥 NEVER BORED GAMES WII BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP! 🔥🎳

📍 Capital City Gaming Con 🕛 STARTS AT 12PM!

We're bringing one of the greatest games from the Wii era to the convention!

No expensive bowling shoes.

No heavy bowling balls.

No questionable rental footwear.

Just a Wii Remote and the belief that you're still as good at Wii Bowling as you were in 2008. 😂

We're looking for the best Wii bowler at Capital City Gaming Con!

Will it be a kid who's barely old enough to remember the Wii?

A parent who's been secretly practicing?

Or somebody who hasn't touched a Wii Remote in fifteen years but still insists they're unbeatable?

LET'S FIND OUT!

🎳 WII BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP 🕛 12PM @ CAPITAL CITY GAMING CON!

Meanwhile, back at Never Bored Games...

🐉⚔️ D&D DAY!

🕑 2PM!

Grab your dice, gather the party, and spend Sunday afternoon adventuring with us!

So whether you're heading to the convention or staying closer to home...

WE'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU!

And to everyone who joined us at Capital City Gaming Con this weekend...

❤️ THANK YOU!

We love getting the opportunity to bring Never Bored Games outside our four walls and introduce more people to the community we're building.

🎳 Bowling at the Con.

🐉 D&D at the store.

LET'S FINISH THE WEEK STRONG!

And if you came out to play - THANK YOU!

We'll have tables set up outside the game room, so if you want to stop by at 1PM and play some games, you're MORE than welcome!

Bring your cards, bring your games, grab some friends, and play to your heart's content!

The birthday party gets the game room, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to go home! 😂

🎲🔥 SATURDAY NIGHT GAME NIGHT!
🕡 6:30PM!

Come hang out, grab a table, and enjoy some good old-fashioned gaming!

Had the pleasure of having Jeff Talks Iowa out to the store for a tour and a chat!

Watch out! This is going to go fast.

I got in a NES, cleaned it up inside and out, replaced the 72 pin connector, and I'll throw in Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt to sweeten the deal!

You won't see this clean an NES for quite some time!
