Burley/Twin Falls, Idaho area gamers

[The Lemon Merchant]

I'm an exiled gamer currently living just outside Burley Idaho and I am in search of fellow gamers. While ideally I'd like to find a group in the Burley area, I am a realist and know that my chances are slim. However, I'm desperate to find a face-to-face game, so I'm willing to consider traveling to Twin Falls to play (yes, even with the high gas prices).

So any groups out there looking/willing to add another?

Unfortunately, it'd be about a two-hour drive for me to meet you in Twin Falls

If you can get a good group together there, it might be worth the trip, though...

 

[The Lemon Merchant]

Yeah, I used to live in Meridian and had a really good group of guys up there. Now I really, really miss getting together with them every week. Oh well, that's life. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to major road trips just to game.

Any of them still around? I'm also looking to get a group organized locally, and perhaps you could help.

 

[The Lemon Merchant]

Yeah, as far as I know they are still around. Though I know that the present location for their game is moving this weekend. Jordan Looze, is the ringleader, though I couldn't tell you how to get in contact with him (as I said they are moving). Another contact is a guy by the name of Adam (sorry don't recall his last name) he works at Toys R Us. If you get in contact with either of them, tell them that Bingo referred you to them.

I suppose that means you don't know their email addresses?

What I've really been wanting to see, though, is a game shop somewhere in the Treasure Valley. If there is one I don't know about it. That might help me to find a gaming group around here.

I do have Jordan's - jorloo@hotmail.com

As for game stores:
Hobbytown at the Cole & Ustick intersection in Boise has a pretty good selection of stuff, though I wouldn't exactly call them a game store. However, I do know a couple of the employees are gamers.
Dark Horse Games, it used to be in Boise, but I believe it has now moved out to Emmett because the owner wanted more room and it was too expensive in Boise. This is the game store to check out. It's got just about anything you could want (including a board to seek out fellow gamers) and if Wolf (the owner) doesn't have it on his shelves, he'll order it for you.

Those are the only shops I know of for certain, I've heard rumors of others (Magic Dragon Games) though I've never been seen them. The above two were the only spots I ever got my gaming supplies, oh and occasionally Hastings, but that's definately not a game store.

Hobbytown i think really is only good for it's minature selection. They have a good book selection most of the time but i was more of a fan of Dark Horse. He would give good deals for repetive customers. (spent a lot of money in his store)

He has closed his store. Been several months now. I have yet found a store that is even close to as good as his was. Should say also, i have not found a game store owner that is as good as Wolf is. Wolf will always be a legend in my book when it comes to game store owners.[/QUOTE]

Close to the Hastings on Fairview there is a new games store. Near Harbor frieght tools, well in that plaza. Not to impressed with the store inventory. Dont really know the guys that well. Not ruling them out yet.

Oh and Genshou, feel free to email me. We are looking for some good players to join our small group of two. slkarren66@yahoo.com

Wait a second... which Hastings store on Fairview? The one closer to downtown or the one closer to Meridian?

And that email is as good as sent!

Oh, and one more thing...
