I sometimes find it difficult to critically review new tabletop offerings from Mayfair Games independent of their previous ones. It’s as Mayfair is some storied rock band from my youth, responsible for so much joy for so long that I’m not sure if their latest single is any good or if I’m simply deferring to my …
GeeklyCon is proud to announce that, for the first time ever, it will be offering a Play to Win board game competition.

Two couples get together for dinner and after dinner amusement. Mom and Dad break out Monopoly with the kids on …
Last year on International Tabletop Day, GeeklyInc ran its first ever 24 hour live stream. We raised nearly $4,000 for The Trevor Project and gave away a lot of wonderful prizes, from boardgames, to books, to commissioned art pieces and much more. This year we’re doing it again.
