Beat the Sheep 2015

by Nate T on February 03, 2015

Do you have what it takes to beat the sheep? In celebration of the arrival of the year of the Wood Sheep, join WoodForSheep for a day of fun and games. Put your mettle and wits up against Steve or Nate (who are both year of the Sheep kids). If you emerge victorious, you go home with a prize. Even if you weren't so successful, you'll still have a chance to go home with a game as there will be prize draws throughout the day (but you have to be there to claim the prize).

Other tables will also be available for open gaming.

Details:

  • Saturday, February 21, 2015
  • First Markham Place (3255 Highway 7 East, Suite 181, Markham, ON)
  • 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
  • Sitting Fee: $5.00

What's included in the Sitting Fee:

  • Open gaming for the day
  • Access to the WoodForSheep library for the day
  • 1 can of pop* (additional cans available for $1.00)
  • 1 bag of chips* (additional bags available for $1.50)
  • 1 "Beat the Sheep" spot in game of your choice* (additional spots available for $1.00)

*Subject to availability

Registration for spots will be on a first-come-first-serve basis, as we open on that day. If a person is not present for a game they registered for at the appointed time, WoodForSheep reserves the right to award the spot to another attendee that is present. If a game has more available spots, they will be made available to other attendees. If a game has no challengers, WoodForSheep reserves the right to change the game listed. Challengers are expected to be familiar with the game rules of the game(s) they are participating in. Due to time restrictions, there will be minimal rule reviews for Beat the Sheep games.

One Day Only (2014)

by Nate T on December 01, 2014

 

You've made your lists, checked it twice... whether they're naughty or nice, there's a game for you at One Day Only. Join us for a day of deals to fill out your holiday stockings, gift bags or larger containers.

It seems we missed out on celebrating our anniversary (we're certainly humbled that WoodForSheep continues to serve for 4 years now). We totally glazed over Black Friday (you mean it has nothing to do with the stock market). We may as well throw in a little Boxing Day too, as we check off the last item from our list of things to do in 2014 (remember this one?). ;)
