Today we are featuring Marshall Britt of Yanaguana Games. Marshall, his wife Courtney, and their son Harrison moved to Rhode Island last Spring from Texas. 

As a new game event we have a very limited library (although it has grown because of generous donations from people like you). But in order to best serve everyone that is coming we have tables for everyone to put their games out if they wish.

Today we are featuring Sarah Como and Breeze Grigas, from Zephyr Workshop and part of the A.E.G.I.S. design crew.

Today we are featuring Tim Blank, the designer of Oh My Gods. Tim will be joining us on October 22nd, and showcasing his game.

Now that the #G2SFall math trade has ended and the Summit is less than 3 weeks away, it is time to get your items into the auction. Whether you are looking to cull some items from your own collection, or add some to it, the auction is where it is at.

Today we are featuring Daniel Newman, game designer from Brooklyn, NY who will be joining us at #G2SFall.

Steph Hodge is a board game photographer and blogger (All The Meeples Of The Rainbow)  over on BoardGame Geek, who resides in beautiful NH.

This past Saturday, Kevin and I got to attend Boston FIG (Festival of Indie Games) which was held at MIT.

With the fall Granite Game Summit fast approaching, it’s time to launch the next no-ship G2S Math Trade.

Granite Game Summit started with the desire to fill a gap in local board game-centered conventions, as well as create a welcoming, safe space for all.

Today we are featuring Ben Warren, Matthew Jeffery, and Steven Landau of DiceBreakers. The DiceBreakers crew resides in New Jersey, but will be joining us in Nashua, for #G2SFall16. Ben and MJ were at our first event in May, but this will be Steven's first Granite Game Summit, so be sure to challenge him to a game of Klask. The DiceBreakers make exceptional quality videos where they teach the rules and show you the action of a variety of board games. You can check out their YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leYikC6lev8 . 

Our featured designer today is Brian Bollinger of The Wild East Game Company. He is the most rootin tooninist', train loving game designer this side of the Mississippi you will ever meet. If his mustache doesn't prove it his fun games like Lightning Dice and Pie Rats will.

Today’s featured designer is Connor Milliken. Connor is a co-designer of game Masters of the Gridiron, published by Sports Mogul. Connor will also be joining us on May 14th, 2016.

Today our featured board game media guests are three-fourths of the Flip the Table podcast! We have Your Moderator Chris, Professional Wrestling Expert Jared Hunnefeld, and Party Clown Flip Florey, all of whom will be joining us on Saturday for the first Granite Game Summit.They are the Masters of the obscure, and often downright terrible titles from “the other side of gaming”.  If the game requires a VCR, or is about Justin Bieber, you had better believe they have played it and covered it on their show.

Since inventing “The Game of 49,” Mark Corsey has had to quit saying, “Hey, don’t look at me, I didn’t make the rules!” In game playing and in general, he plays by the rules; he only dresses like an outlaw.

When we originally set out to hold the first ever Granite Game Summit we knew that we three organizers would be able to more or less manage all aspects of the day without worry. However, since then we have doubled in size and are expecting to sell out(!). With this scope and scale we know that we need some help (That's where you come in).

Our first adventure in the board game convention arena has been amazing. When I first talked with Kimberly and Mike about it we were pretty excited. Our goal was to hopefully have 100 people if we were lucky. But it has become so much more than just gathering a few friends together for a game day. We want to thank everyone who has supported us for the first Granite Game Summit.
