You think July in Palatine is hot? Try July in ancient Rome! July 18th, 64AD marks the beginning of the great fire of Rome, during which Nero famously ‘fiddled.’ With their high-powered air con, our game night won’t be so hot, but why not commemorate the conflagration with a game of Fire Tower or Flashpoint Fire Rescue or something about ancient Rome? No matter what you want to play, join us at Nellies from 6pm-11pm on July 18th for some great gaming, won’t you?

On this day in 1965, the Rolling Stones released their song “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction,” a cornerstone song in rock and roll. This day, 58 years later, you can get what Mick and Keith couldn’t — the satisfaction of joining your pals for some amazing board gaming! Roll on down to Nellie’s in Palatine from 6-11pm on Tuesday night, June 6th.

Join us for interesting games on Tuesday, May 30th, from 6pm-11pm at Nellie’s in Palatine.

When I say “16th of May” to you, what do you think of? Maybe you think of 1986, when Tom Cruise was blowing up box office numbers in his brand new movie Top Gun. Or maybe 1966, when the Beach Boys’ masterwork Pet Sounds dropped. Or perhaps you don your sparkly pants to celebrate Liberace’s birthday. Me, I remember that it’s a Tuesday, and it’s time to head over to Nellie’s from 6-11 for game night. Join us, won’t you?

It’s a new month, and a new chance for gaming with friends old and new! Join us at Nellie’s for a gametastic evening, won’t you? The action starts at 6pm and goes until 11. See you there!
