The Location – Geeks & Games, Oregon City, Oregon

Geeks & Games has been an excellent host for the local Blood & Plunder club. They stock a full lineup of product from Firelock Games, with a special emphasis on Blood & Plunder and they provide plenty of space for our weekly meetups. The staff is friendly and works hard to make sure everyone has a place to game, games to buy, and drinks to enjoy if that’s your thing.

Geeks & Games has supported Blood & Plunder since they opened, the same year that Blood & Plunder was first on Kickstarter! They currently have ships, units, starter sets, activation cards, boats, fortifications, rulebooks, and commander models in stock, along with some terrain and game mats appropriate to the game. They also have the full line of Port Royal product, along with other Blood & X games rulebooks in stock.

Geeks & Games also supports and sells other games including Star Wars: Legion, Middle Earth Battle Strategy Game, Flames of War, various CCG’s, Warhammer, and various other wargames and and a wide variety of board games (used & new). They also have a good selection of puzzles, and a great selection of paints, brushes and hobby materials.

The store is about 30-40 minutes south of Portland.

There are several good dining options nearby including the Wild Hare Saloon right next door (fine bar food), several Mexican options, a teriyaki place, a quality pizzaria, and a terrible Burger King (if you’re into that sotre of thing) all within 300 feet. If you need to bring home some goodies for your kids, there’s a Lego store just around the corner! For finer dining for after tournament dinner, there are several nice places in lower downtown Oregon City, and if you need a drink to cry into after your tournament, Oregon City has many bars, pubs, tap houses, and cider rooms.

Make Plans Now!

This should be a fun event! If you’ve never participated in a Blood & Plunder tournament, this should be a great way to jump on in. It shouldn’t be a massive crowd, and we’re (mostly) a friendly crew! Great store, great game, good food, great prizes, and good company! Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 28th!

If enough folks are coming from out of town to stay the night, we may sneak in some Friday night practice games the evening before. If you’re interested in that prospect, make a note of it in the force submission form above.
