Flea Market Saturday!
Don't forget we have the flea market on Saturday - bring those titles that you want to clear out (or pick up some new ones)!
24 Hours and Counting
In less than 24 hours we will be live at TGD 2012! Hope you are planning to join us. If you need to reach a member of the TGD staff during the weekend, remember our hotline: (615) 624-GAME (4263)
Lights! Cameras! Board Games!
We are excited to announce that we are having an official screening of a new board game documentary on Saturday night of TGD. From their website:
Going Cardboard is a film about the new board gaming, a phenomenon going on right under your nose, probably in your very community! This film will take you into that world to meet the players and designers responsible for this radical departure from technology. And you just might discover it's the hobby for you.
We'll have free popcorn and stadium seating in the hotel's amphitheater to enjoy the show. A great way to take a break and refresh from a full day of gaming.
Here's a sneak peek:
We’re Walking, We’re Walking
Three years ago we started our "Tour of Gaming Destinations" promotion. The premise is pretty simple, get some gamers together and have someone teach them a lineup of games that fit together in some way - theme, mechanic, etc. It's been fun for us and for attendees. It gives some people a chance to meet some gamers, others a chance to learn some new games and everyone an opportunity to have fun. Our tour roster for next week's event is live. You can visit it by heading here. TGD VII is a week away - hope to see you!
Deadline Reminders
Just under two weeks to go until Tennessee Game Days 2012. Expect information to continue to flow in -- two things today.
One is that the deadline for posting titles to the Math Trade is TONIGHT at 11 pm CST. You can check out the math trade and all the details here .
The other is a last call, so to speak, for any attendee run tours. You may recall that we are opening up leading the Tours of Gaming Destinations to any attendee that has previously attended a TGD event. If you have an idea for a tour you want to run, check out the guide . Submissions for Attendee Lead Tours must be emailed by 8 CST on Wednesday, February 29th.
I’ll Trade you my Algebra for your Trig
What could be better than playing games all weekend? Bring some old games you no longer like and walking away with some new titles. We'll help you do just that with the Tennessee Game Days Math Trade. What is a math trade? Basically, you submit games you are willing to trade and then a preference list of what games you'd accept for what titles. A computer program takes that list and finds those kinds of trades that are hard for humans to see (A trades to B, B trades to C, C trades to A). It's easier than it sounds and you can find out about it here. Go check it out and trade some games!

TGD 6 Summary Posted
As we start the gear up for TGD 6, I thought it was a good time to get our summary from last year up. We had a special guest author who had a "unique" perspective on the event. You can check it out on the events page - http://www.tngamedays.com/events.html
