Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE:BKS), the world’s largest

weeks. Each week there will be a new lineup of games, perfect for
families, friends and legions of self-proclaimed “Board Game Geeks”
across the country.
“Barnes & Noble is already a destination where people enjoy
quality time together, and we are so excited to be able to amp up
the fun by offering this incredible Summer Game Night series,” said
Kathleen Campisano, Vice President, GMM Toys & Games at Barnes
& Noble. “Board game enthusiasts of all ages will be able to
share in a night out of fun and laughter as they learn new games
and set aside time each week for their old favorites.”
Featured games at every Summer Game Night event will be
available at a 10% off discount to customers during the event each
week. Plus, at any store with a Barnes & Noble Café, customers
will receive an exciting Buy One, Get One Free Frappuccino® offer,
and can purchase flatbreads for only $5 during the event.
The exciting lineup of games at the first Summer Game Night
series beginning on Thursday, July 19, at 7 PM will include:
- Yeti in My Spaghetti, Ages 4+ (by
PlayMonster): In this wacky, fun game, Yeti is just chillin' on
the noodles... but as you remove them one by one (be careful!),
Yeti could fall into the bowl, and that is not cool! You want Yeti
to stay steady on the spaghetti, at least during your turn, if you
don't want to lose!
- Exploding Kittens Original, Ages 7+
(by Exploding Kittens): Make any get-together even more fun
with the Exploding Kittens Game. This strategic card game has one
simple aim -- avoid getting blown up by exploding kitties. This
fast-paced, UNO-like game will delight players of all ages as they
play action cards in their quest to become the last player
standing. The original box includes 56 cards, a box, and
instructions, and can be played by itself or combined with other
decks to accommodate even more players for more fun.
- Game of Things Card Game, Ages 14+
(by PlayMonster): Pick a topic... Write a response... Guess who
said what! This travel/expansion deck of the hilarious game of
humor in a box comes with all new topics that can be played on
their own, or added to your larger game! Read a topic card and then
write down your response. It can be anything that comes to mind,
there's no right or wrong answer! Then all the responses are read
aloud and you have to figure out who said what! You won't believe
the THINGS... you'll hear!
