Greetings, Friends!
This week is the last week of school for local high school seniors. It’s bitter sweet for me as my son, Sawyer, will be graduating this Monday. After 7 years of attending nearby Robert Gray Middle and Ida B. Wells High Schools, Hillsdale will never be the same for me. I’m so used to seeing him out the back door with his lacrosse teams practicing after school. I’m so proud of him and hope he will remember all the fun times growing up here at the shop. I look forward to his next stage of life. ❤️

 KAYA’S STORYIn the quiet corners of our game store, a tale unfolds—a tale of young heroes discovering the mightiest superpower of all: imagination. Meet Kaya, a spirited eight-year-old with a heart full of curiosity. One day, she stumbles upon a dusty old board game tucked away on our shelves. Little did she know, it held the key to unlocking her extraordinary gift. As Kaya opened the game box, a fantastical world burst forth, alive with vibrant colors and mythical creatures. The game pieces transformed into allies, and the board became a portal to uncharted realms. Kaya wasn’t just playing a game; she was orchestrating an epic adventure with the power of her imagination. Through enchanted forests and across shimmering seas, Kaya’s imagination knew no bounds. Dragons soared through the skies, and talking trees shared ancient wisdom. Each roll of the dice brought forth new challenges, and Kaya faced them with the courage only a child’s imagination could muster. In this magical journey, Kaya learned that her imagination wasn’t just a game—it was her superpower. She could conjure worlds, defeat monsters, and be the hero of her own story. At Other Worlds Games & Comics, we celebrate the boundless imagination of our young adventurers. Witnesssing Kaya’s story unfold is something we see tenfold with other youth in our store each semester. We couldn’t do it without you! We appreciate your ongoing support as you assist us in nurturing the superpower of imagination… where every game becomes a gateway to extraordinary realms waiting to be explored. Thank you for supporting us! 🚀 Happy gaming! 🎲 -Other World’s Team |
