Frequently Asked Questions

When are you opening?

We don't have a firm date yet. Join the launch list below and we'll email you as soon as one is set.

Do I need to be a Guild Member to visit?

No. Guest access is $8, all day, no time limit, full library included. Guild Member ($30/month) and Guild Founder ($600 one-time) are optional upgrades for lower room rates, priority booking, and store perks.

How does private room booking work?

Rooms are booked by the hour with a two-hour minimum. Standard rate is $20/hour. Guild Members pay $16/hour and can book 48 hours before the general public. Guild Founders get 2 room hours included every month.

Is this just for board games, or also TCGs and TTRPGs?

All three. Private rooms, open tables, and organized events for TCG players, TTRPG groups, and board gamers alike. There's also a quiet floor with reading nooks and armchairs if you just want somewhere to sit and think.

Can I buy, sell, or trade cards and games even if I'm not a member?

Yes. The retail shop and buylist are open to everyone. Members and Founders get access to member-only pre-orders at MSRP on Collector Boosters, sealed cases, and other limited product.

What is store credit, and how does it work?

Members earn 5% back in store credit on everything they spend; Founders earn 8%. Credit accrues automatically and can be spent on anything in the shop.

What makes Guild Founder different, and why is it capped?

Founder is a one-time $600 payment for lifetime Guild Member benefits, plus front of the allocation queue, 2 monthly room hours, the 8% credit rate, first look at singles from collections we buy in, Founder preview nights, and your name on the wall. It's capped at 75 to keep it meaningful. Current count is in the Pricing section above.

Do I need the companion app?

No, it's optional — it's for managing your membership, RSVPing to events, and booking rooms once we're open.
