We're about to travel around half way around the globe, meet dozens of amazing artists, spend five weeks exploring, eating, and singing through the streets, mountains, and karaoke bars of Japan. It's all exciting, to be sure, but I may be most looking forward to my return to the Japanese boardgame shop Yellow Submarine to load up on all sorts of Japanese boardgaming treasures! And of course, I'll want to share the bountiful harvest with all of you, and that means it must be time for another Light Grey Game Night! After a too-long hiatus, Game Night resumes right after I get back! So mark your calendar for Saturday April 15th from noon - 5 pm! That's right, SATURDAY, NOON - 5 PM!

As you might remember, we're attaching a theme to each night to help people narrow down what games they might want to bring (although you're still welcome to bring whatever you'd like!). This week's theme is にほん (which in hiragana spells Nihon, aka Japan)!

So check out of some of the quirky games I found in the Japanese boardgame shop Yellow Submarine, conquer feudal Japan in Samurai, upgrade to the mighty Shinkansen (bullet train) in the Japanese deckbulding game Trains, among plenty of others! If you have a favorite boardgame, bring it!

So grab your friends, family or favorite stack of board games, and come play with us! RSVP via our Facebook event, and feel free to share! The more the merrier!
