Barnes & Noble will be running a Tabletop Gaming Meet Up event at all 640 stores on Saturday, April 30th, starting at 4 pm. This follows last month’s weekly “game gatherings” that were held at 57 of the chain’s stores. “Barnes & Noble is already a place to meet up, socialize and spend quality time together. Our Tabletop Gaming Meet Up is designed to do all that and more,” said Kathleen Campisano, Vice President, Toys & Games at Barnes & Noble.

The event will feature five games available to play at 4 pm: Machi Koro, Munchkin, Qwirkle, Superfight, and Ticket to Ride. Prizes to participants will be awarded, including promotional cards for Machi Koro and Superfight, and a Qwirkle brainteaser book. Additional prize support varies by store.
