Time flies or, more accurately, since the pandemic hit doesn’t really have a meaning anymore! But that being said it’s still crazy to us that we’ve now been in the new store for six months!

What a six months it’s been! In the grander scheme of things, it’s still early days but moving definitely feels like the right decision so far! (Although with everything that’s happening in the world the preceding statement could quickly change).

Moving has seen us see much higher levels of footfall and has also given us much more space to allow events to be more easily hosted.

That being said…

Following our move at the end of last year we’ve finally had time to review our event schedule!

Here is the current plan from now until the end of March!

Monday: The shop won’t be open, but we’ll be playing D&D in store from 6pm – 10pm! If you want to play to be a DM let us know and we can get some groups arranged! All groups will begin with a Session Zero to make sure everyone is comfortable!

Tuesday: Tuesday is Pokemon and Age of Sigmar! We’ll have AoS casual play from 6pm. Our Pokemon event will start at 7.30pm with casual games from 6pm.

Wednesday: Wednesday will be our main wargames night which kicks off from 6pm! We’ll also be hosting Flesh & Blood and Digimon Events, both will start at 7.30pm.

Thursday: Thursday nights is our Super Cazh Boardgames Night, we’ll also be running alternating Legacy and Pauper MTG events. Casual gaming kicks off from 6pm, with our tournaments starting at 7.30pm.

Friday: Friday is FNM! The format will rotate between Standard, Pioneer, and Modern, Casual gaming from 6pm with the tournaments starting at 7.30. Commander players, there’ll be space for pods as well!

Saturday: We’ll be running weekly Saturday Showdown Events, like FNM these will rotate between Standard, Pioneer, and Modern. The first Saturday of the month will see these events be replaced with larger prize pool events, these will rotate between Pioneer, Modern, and Legacy!

Saturdays will also see us looking to run other things like painting lessons, our monthly painting event, and small wargames tournaments!

Sunday: It’s casual Commander Day! We’ll also be running weekly Sunday Showdown Events, like FNM these will rotate between Standard, Pioneer, and Modern. In the afternoon we’ll be running a weekly draft or sealed event. The first Sunday of the month will be sealed, the last Sunday on the month will be Cube Draft, the other Sundays will be normal drafts of a random set. In addition, we’ll also be running D&D on a Sunday evening giving people 2 opportunities to play!

We’ll review the events at the end of March. If any aren’t working, we’ll review and looked at changing things up if needed! The schedule will kick in fully once the Kamigawa Pre Release has taken place.

It’s exciting times here at Langden Games!

As you can image the last 19 months have been challenging thanks to Covid-19, but we survived! (Thank you so much to all those who placed orders during the forced lockdown closures)

Now that Covid-19 is hopefully under control (fingers crossed) we have the option to hopefully move the shop!

This is highly exciting and equally scary! Over the last 7 years (time flies!) the shop has evolved from a small club to a fully fledged LGS that caters for a wide cross section of gamers, as such we’ve outgrown our space! (I might be guilty of buying too much stock!)

Well… 2021 seems to be continuing 2020’s tradition of being a bit rubbish! So far in 2021 we’ve not been able to welcome customers into the store, but from Saturday 17^th that all changes as well be opening again!! (Woohoo!!)

While we get a feel for things we’ll only be opening at weekends and will be doing slightly reduced hours, but on the plus side it does mean you can come in and browse from 10am to 4pm on a Saturday or Sunday (you might have to be patient with us on the 17^th while we try to remember how the till works, and generally how to be around people…)

As the UK Government has shared its roadmap out of lockdown, we’ve also looked at what we’re doing as a store.

Our approach can be summed up in one word: Cautious.

The first step on our own path to ‘getting things back to normal’ is to reinstate Click & Collect, this will take place from this weekend and you’ll be able to collect any orders between 10am-2pm on a Saturday and by request on a Sunday.

Continue reading The Return of Click & Collect! (And A General Shop Update)

Welcome to 2021, it’s just like 2020 but with a more infectious version of Covid and America trying even harder to become a failed state!

On Monday evening the UK Government announced a third national lockdown, not how we wanted to start the new year but if it finally gets Covid under control then I’m all for it!

The government recently announced that non-essential retail can reopen from 15^th June 2020 (yay!), so that raises the question “when will the store reopen?”.

The answer is not the 15^th, our plan is to reopen with reduced hours from Saturday 20^th June.

Below is a list of questions about our plans around reopening:

What will the store hours be?

We plan to initially open on Saturdays and Sundays only from 10am to 4pm starting from 20^th June, we’ll review this on a regular basis starting from July.

As promised recently, here is another trademark Matt ramble regarding the store (I do love a good ramble…)

Here goes…

THE TOILET HAS BEEN REDECORATED!!

End of ramble…

Ok, here’s the actual update.

The keen eyed among you will be wondering why I’m publishing this in October, well, it’s due to us recently having started our new financial year (our year runs 1^st September to 31^st August). Anyway, on to more interesting things!

Looking Back…

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has been a customer of the store over the last year, thanks to your support we continue to grow and develop.
