Cake and presents time!

As the games come to a close, it’s time for the present-opening! All the guests have brought marvelous gifts, piled in a great heap beneath the larger-than-life birthday cake.

We are on Tabletop Island! Please take a turn down the road if you’d like to join us on our adventure!“ “Welcome to Pixel Paradise!“ the final, pixelated denizen exclaims to your right. “We’re excited to play with you. Hope you brought an extra life!“ Filled with glee, Matt and Emma dash off to explore.
