“Barnes & Noble prides itself on being a warm and inviting

host and put a spotlight on original content through special events
in our stores,” said Kathleen Campisano, Vice President of Toys
& Games at Barnes & Noble.
The theme of this year’s International Tabletop Day is, "Tell us
how board games changed your life," as they serve as a powerful
force to unite different groups of people, whether it be friends,
families or unfamiliar faces, while they participate in a shared
experience. During its Gaming gatherings, Barnes & Noble will
encourage participants to submit a video to the International
Tabletop Day page and tell the world how board games have impacted
their lives, using the hashtags #tabletopday and
#BNGameNight.
“Barnes & Noble stores provide the perfect environment to
welcome new and seasoned gamers as they experience the depth of
gameplay,” said Andrew Lupp of the gaming industry organization
PSI. “Barnes & Noble is committed to promoting the
socialization of game groups, this year marking the third year it
is hosting a gaming meetup at its stores.”
Barnes & Noble features over 1,000 games in stores, with
even more online so customers of all ages, interests and
preferences in game mechanics can find that special board game to
either gift or bring home to host their own game night.
Customers are encouraged to browse Barnes & Noble’s vast
selection of quality games and provide feedback to the
participating stores on future Gaming event game titles. Barnes
& Noble features the latest releases like Potion Explosion,
Seafall and Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu, along with exclusives like
