Tips for Hosting Game Day In-Store

In case you missed it, here's a video by Maria Bartholdi that quickly explains all the need-to-knows for hosting Game Day at your store. Be sure to give it a look if you need a refresher.

Whether you're a Game Day veteran or hosting one for the first time, there are two additional tips to keep top-of-mind:

  • Run your players' preferred format. It's easier for you to generate excitement for players if you're able to advertise a format they love to play. Always run what works best for your community.
