What is a Featured Game?

Gamemeisters makes a few games available for play by anyone on a first come first serve basis.  These are our Featured Games that let customers try out a game before they buy it.  The featured games will rotate every so often, so if you try Ticket to Ride but don’t love it in a few weeks something else will be featured and you’ll be able to try something new.

There will always be at least two featured games.

The Family Feature is a family-friendly game.  These games have approachable themes.  They are something that the whole family might enjoy and with easy to understand rules.  Games that you may find on the Family Feature table include: Ticket to Ride, Quarriors,  Fluxx, Pirates CoveAgricola, and Shadows Over Camelot.

The Featured Game is something that will appeal to more experienced gamers.  These games may have scarier or more grown-up themes and more complicated rules.  Featured Games might include: Arkham Horror, Chez Geek, Elder Sign, Merchants & Marauders, and Powergrid.

The featured games will be posted on the front page of the web site and announced in the store.  If you’d like to suggest a featured game head over to the discussion forums and let us know what you think.
