Happy February everyone! As we all wait for spring to grace us with its presence, we have some events to make the tail end of winter a little more bearable. Taylor Swift wrote a new album, so we wrote a new Swiftie trivia set. Board Game Speed Dating is expanding to new states. And most exciting of all, we are hosting an epic Game Festival in downtown Boston!

Also, award season is here, so we have some movie trivia for you at the bottom of this email.

Game Festival at High Street Place

On April 6th, we are hosting a giant Game Festival in Downtown Boston! The event will give people an opportunity to play all manner of game, from board games to trivia to puzzle rooms to a giant rock-paper-scissors tournament, and so much more! At the heart of our event will be 20+ local board game designers showing off their cardboard creations. You'll be able to play everything from paper-and-pen ideas, to advanced prototypes ticketed for Kickstarter, to finished products available for retail. All while meeting the brilliant minds behind them.

The first 50 tickets sold cost just $25 and come with a $5 voucher good for food or drink at any eatery in the fantastic food hall where we'll be hosting this event: High Street Place. But hurry fast because the prices go up from there.
