As you know, the state’s quarantine rules have been extended and expanded since our initial closure announcement. We’re now estimating our reopening to be on May 1st and I have updated our very pared back events page to reflect this. Many of you have asked how you can help ensure that we and all of our staff are able to survive and come back from this so we have compiled three ways that our community can help.
Online ordering
Though we don’t have an online operation ourselves and lack the resources to start one from scratch on such short notice, the following game companies have all announced online sales programs that allow you to support us through online game buying. (Thank you to Games of Berkeley for putting together this incredible list, btw. They’re great.)
