Atlas Games Donations for Libraries

  • 1.  Atlas Games Donations for Libraries

    Posted 3 hours ago

    Hey, folks!

    John at Atlas Games sent my library a donation of games! He said that they have some more of these kits (similar but not necessarily identical) put together specifically for libraries and asked me to share this info with GameRT members. These kits are for libraries that have (or are starting) circulating game collections.

    To request a kit for your library, write an email to John (john@atlas-games.com) and:

    1. Let him know your library has a circulating game collection (if relevant, include if it's just for children or just for adults)
    2. Mention that you saw this post on the Games & Gaming Round Table forum
    3. Provide your library's shipping address
    4. Thank them for being wonderful library supporters!

    Here's what I got in my kit - so excited to get these into our collection! (Kits may vary.)

    1. Godsforge
    2. Gloom
    3. Cursed Court
    4. Magical Kitties Save the Day (RPG)
    5. Lost in R'lyeh
    6. Once Upon a Time: The Storytelling Card Game
