Miscellaneous info: Smash at High Tides is hosted at a local community board game/card shop. Typical attendance has varied from 12-40 people with a range of casual to serious players. We have even been visited by big MD/VA names such as Boss, Mik!, and Oco Le Troof. Also High Tide Games is in a shopping plaza, so you are surrounded by good food (Mission BBQ, Flex Island Jamaican Grill, Teariffic to name a few).
Please bring a set-up if you can! There’s no discount for bringing a set-up but think of the $$$ you save without that venue fee! Besides, more set-ups = more games = more fun. If you have any questions please ask away or leave a comment on the Facebook page (link below). See you all there!
