Connecticut Locations for the Gamers on your Christmas List

When many of us were younger, in the olden days before electronics, computers etc., having card collections would have been done with the kids gathering in a park and swapping or talking about the sports cards they had; what they needed and who had the most.

Well, times have changed, and games are played on computers, and like the sports cards we played, there are also special cards that carry big values: for instance, one could be worth as much as $20,000 today and will most likely appreciate.

There is a store in Branford that has been hosting card events for almost 3 years, Lotus Games 

Located at 242 Main St, Branford CT 
Tel 203-208-0640 

The success of this store has them offering events and games in a satellite location at 199 Old Hartford Road, Colchester, CT 06415. 860-710-2036.  The Colchester location will be open next on Dec 20-22.

We stopped in the Colchester store on Friday and there were several people asking about games: playing some of the games on their tables and even seeking to have a Pokémon gathering.

They have a large following on their Facebook page also.

If you are having a problem finding games for the people on your list, give them a call., or send an inquiry through their Lotus Games Website.

I would think that everyone enjoys playing games, but I could be wrong, haha.  I remember family game night and we always looked forward to it.

Ed I prefer what we had as kids than what kids have today.  They are missing out.

Hi Ed:

 I bet gamers will really appreciate having this information, and knowing the Branford store. No doubt they will appreciate your PR for them.

We spent Thanksgiving week with relatives. Three generations played many games.

Hi Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 .  This is such a great idea.  My mom would love something like this, she is always inviting everyone over to play cards.  I think this would be a great place for kids to hang out with other kids instead of just gaming at home on their computers.  It is great social interaction.  Thanks for sharing!  Have a great weekend!

Card and board games are still fun, Ed. Sometimes, when on FaceTime with our 7-year old granddaughter, we will play Yahtzee! She is good at it too.
