First up, let me say that me and a few friends are planning to set up a shop that deals with renting out board games. Of course, we also deal with Trading Card Games such as MTG, VS System, Pokemon, Yugioh and others.

Currently, our stock of board games are of the usual genre such as Hotel, Monopoly in Normal version, Star Wars and LOTR, Cluedo and a few more others. We are planning to bring in harder to find games such as World of Warcraft, Settlers of Catan etc. We are also looking into the possibility of renting out card games such as Munchkins, Killer Bunnies and a few more.

The pricing will be affordable and there will be ample of space for you and your friends to enjoy a fun day of traditional gaming. For miniature fans, we are also looking at setting up a miniature corner where you can have tables to play your various miniatures games.

All I am asking is that all you hobby enthusiasts share your feedback on whether you will be willing to visit such a shop and what you would like to see in such a shop. Suggestions on what board games to bring in would also be great for us.

Thank you for reading this and I hope that we shall see traditional gaming spreading its influence once more. By the way, the shop will be located in Petaling Jaya with easy access via LRT.

Thanks, fully understand that the interests may be dying now but we fully intend to get people interest again in such games...

Hopefully we will make it and hope to see you there once in a while even if not daily

Wow...how did you guess? It would be located at Paramount Garden.

Thanks, we hope to run some MTG competitions, never possible due to lack of space last time. Hopefully, we can get it going this time around.

Toybox will be conducting tutorials for Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne every Saturday for new players to learn the game, in preparation for the qualifiers for the Settlers and Carcassonne Nationals at Pan Global Club.

If you are interested in the tutorial, just PM me and we can arrange the time for you.

For more information on the qualifiers, you can visit this thread:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...5&#entry7035705

Before you go all out to accuse people of blatant advertising, I suggest you read the threads carefully.

1. This thread is about Toybox, announcing a place where hobby gamers can gather and any events specifically linked to us such as tutorials, workshops etc

2. The Settlers and Carcassonne qualifers is not, and I repeat, is NOT, exclusive to Toybox.

3. That thread in the Events page will contain all relevant info including other venues, dates and even the Nationals.

I am grateful that LYN has such dedicated mods to patrol the forums but before you start accusing, it is better if you start checking with the relevant parties before shooting off.

Understand that, and it was already noted, which was why the new posting I put reflected that I am not blatantly advertising.

Anyway, I am glad that this issue has been put to rest.

Super Munchkin and War of the Ring is now available for rent at Toybox!

Super Munchkin, just like Munchkin (the original), is written by Steve Jackson and it parodies the superheroes. A card-based boardgame, Super Munchkin is a stand-alone game, or it can be combined with other Munchkin games.

Previous sets have seen Munchkins taking on space wars, kung-fu warrior and creatures of the night. A fun game for 3-6 players, Super Munchkins allows players to become a Mutant, an Exotic, a Mystic or a Techno.

From the wimpy Bucketman all the way up to Big Ol' Planet Eater Guy Himself, you can battle dastardly masterminds, devastating monsters, and invading aliens from the next dimension.

The War of the Ring is an epic board game experience that allows its players to immerse themselves in J.R.R. Tolkein's classic story and experience its epic action, dramatic conflict, and the memorable characters of The Lord of the Rings.

While the Fellowship of the Ring advances towards Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron tries to find the location of the Ring-bearer, and unleashes his armies against the last strongholds of the Free Peoples.

Ticket To Ride Now For Rent - Hop on to your trains!

Ticket to Ride, a multiple award winner, is available for rent NOW at Toybox. With elegantly simply gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn.

Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets - goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route.

Ticket to Ride author, Alan R. Moon said, "The tension comes from being forced to balance greed - adding more cards to your hand; and fear - losing a critical route to a competitor."

At only RM2.50 per head per day at Toybox, enjoy Ticket to Ride and other award winning games such as Settlers of Catan, Memoir '44 and other card-based games such as Super Munchkins and Citadels.
