We had an incredible surprise this weekend when local artist/celebrity Sabtastic came in for a visit! We've had her artwork hanging on our walls since we discovered her, and we were delighted to have her swing by for a visit, some tasty treats, and some fun games. Sab, it was an absolutely 'tastic time to have you in! 🪿🦆

If you want the chance to meet this amazing human being (and also support an incredibly talented local artist), be sure to follow Sabtastic through all of her socials:

From the developer of Ark Nova comes Sanctuary, a familiar twist on the Ark Nova formula. In this medium-weight game, the goal of finding the best possible way to place the animals, buildings, and projects in your zoo is always exciting and full of variety. With 135 unique zoo tiles consisting of animals, buildings, and conservation projects, you'll try your best to place each tile in the perfect spot on your zoo map to collect the most points at the end of the game. As huge fans of Ark Nova, we highly suggest giving Sanctuary a try!

An Important Announcement From D6 ☕🍞🎲 (Alt text below)

A Message from D6

Hello everyone!

A happy belated New Years to all of our amazing guests and communities that we have been a part of for these past 3 years! That’s enough time for about half a game of Twilight Imperium with all expansions. We’re sorry we missed everyone during the Christmas season. However, it was such a wonderful and warm feeling to see everyone coming back the moment we opened for board games. Thanks for giving us time to catch up on some of the games we’ve been wanting to play but didn’t have the time for. ;)

We wanted to make an announcement just to be as transparent as possible with everyone who has decided to make D6 their home for games. Due to increasing costs, we will unfortunately need to make a few adjustments to our pricing for our games Check-in. Starting in February:

All guests bringing their own game/playing tabletop games will require a Check-in of $11.00/person which is 50% off with a purchase of food/drink over $5

Last year, we partnered with Localoyalty to revamp our stamp program to offer a greater variety of options to redeem those stamps you’ve all been collecting over the years. On top of adding additional rewards to redeem in the future, all items over $5 will now give one stamp, including Check-ins. (All the more reason to start getting stamps!) As always, thank you for the joy, wonder, and trust that you give both of our two nerdy hearts! On behalf of both of us, our amazing D6 Team, and our family of bread that has multiplied...

Game on!
Michael And Solomon (And Toast too!) 🍞

🌟Seasons Greetings!🎄As D6 prepares for the holidays, we would like to inform you that we will be closed for two whole weeks, which means plenty of time for us to get refreshed for the new year! We will be closed on December 19th, 2025, and we will open on January 3rd, 2026 at 11am.

Stay bundled up, drink and eat many good drinks and food, and we will see you all in the New Year!

After a deep dive of the rules, we can definitely say that Vantage is one of our newest favourites. Working together, players will perform actions on their location cards as they become stranded across a vast foreign planet. Completing the starting goal (which changes every game) will take hours, but your character will collect gear and ancient relics through their adventure to make future challenges for your team easier. Honestly, no two games will be the same!

It's a very long game, but we think Vantage is a great game for new board game players; it's simple system and open-ended gameplay keep the game fresh and the player on their toes!

Toast is in a rough predicament atm, so let me tell you about his newest game he can't get over (hehe), Ice and Idols!
With a rotating board and shifting tiles, players lead an expedition to discover a temple cloaked in ice and dust. Navigate the frozen maze, and uncover idols which hold powerful secrets to claim victory against your competing expeditions!
With sliding pathways and tricky players, Ice and Idols will be a great game for you and friends to chill over. 🧊

While Toast enjoys his time with the fishes, you should enjoy your time with Shallow Sea! Its a puzzle game where players create vivid ocean landscapes by arranging colourful marine life; most notably, colourful fish and corals. Having a fish surrounded by coral of the same colour lets you activate exciting combos, and use types of lures to move fish and other creatures into your colourfully built ecosystem.

Give Shallow Sea a try next time you float on by to D6 🐡

10/27/2025

Toast loves sharing all new exciting games we get at the cafe! He's slowly opening up a copy of each for our wall (a lack of arms'll do that), so keep an eye as we expand our library to include:

'Vantage': an open world (yes, really) cooperative adventure game of players exploring an entire planet,

'Shallow Sea': a strategic puzzle game of creating a great barrier reef of colourful fish and corals,

and 'Ice and Idols': an exploration game of rotating labyrinths and shifting pathways.

We look forward to hear what you think about them!
