Lehi's Gamer's Inn offers unique board games January 26, 2017, 11:53 amIf you're looking for any Hasbro or Mattel games, they don't sell those games. But if you are looking for Splendor, 7 Wonders, Mystic Vale, Code Names, Bang! and Mashi Koro, and you will find these types of games on their shelves. "These are not your typical games, and that was done on purpose. For one, we cannot compete with the big box stores .... We do not carry what I consider your more steam line games, basic Monopoly, basic Risk, Chutes and Ladders, etc. .... Most of our game selection started as suggestions from the community. But we also look at the most popular lists from boardgamegeek.com, other sites, plus our own favorites," said Anthony Wilding, the current owner and operator of the store. Gamer's Inn is a great place to start your family game collection because of their Gamer's Club. Simply provide your name and email address and you are part of this free club. "Customers get a weekly newsletter telling them what is happening at the store, new products, events, specials, etc. .... They save a minimum of 10 percent off every purchase. But then if you buy a game, played it and just did not like it, you can bring it back and get 80 percent of what you paid for it in store credit. So you can get something that you do like. We believe that games should be enjoyed and not collecting dust," Wilding said. They also have a section in the store for previously played games where customers can bring in their own games (that have all the pieces) that they no longer play and Gamer's Inn will make an offer for store credit. "Games help bring families together, same as having a meal around the table. It is time spent together that does not have a price or value attached," Wilding said. In addition, studies have shown that playing board games together can increase attention and concentration spans, increase vocabulary skills and encourages a higher level of thinking, not to mention that it helps kids practice good sportsmanship. All these are good lifetime skills for everyone. If you haven't visited Gamer's Inn, stop by this local game store and plan a family game night. Gamer's Inn is located at 1245 W. Main Suite B in Lehi. To contact them, call 801-901-3104 or visit them online at www.gamersinnlehi.com.
