Bored Bard Games joins Braumart Theatre for Star Wars-themed holiday celebration

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. (WZMQ) – Iron Mountain’s Braumart Theatre was the center of galactic excitement as it hosted a Star Wars-themed holiday event on May the 4th. Partnering up with the newly established game store, Bored Bard Games, the theatre witnessed a surge of enthusiasm from both young and old fans alike.

Bored Bard Games, which has been gaining popularity since its launch in January, offers a haven for gaming enthusiasts, featuring card-style games such as Pokémon, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering. Co-owners Wilson and Kernen expressed their delight at providing a space for the community to gather and engage in social, intellectually stimulating activities.

“Right now, Monday through Friday we’re open from 5 PM to 9 PM. Saturdays were open 10 till four will be extending those hours hopefully sooner than later,” shared Erik Wilson.

The highlight of the event was the demonstration of the latest Star Wars card game, “Star Wars Unlimited,” which has been flying off the shelves since its release a month ago. Wilson emphasized the importance of getting kids off electronic devices and promoting critical thinking skills through social gaming experiences.

“We cover everything,” Wilson remarked, reflecting on the store’s diverse offerings, from classic board games to immersive role-playing adventures. The store’s impact on the community has been profound, with parents praising its ability to bring families closer together and foster social connections beyond screens.

“I found out recently that Bored Bard Games, we’re kind of going around the school right now as the talk of the town with the kids. In fact, a lot of the kids are on the playground, and they’re playing Dungeons and Dragons with dice, and they’re like ‘Bored Bard Games’ and they’re calling us the Disney store, because we have Disney Lorcana Disney trading card game,” Wilson remarked. 

Looking ahead, Bored Bard Games has exciting events lined up, including open community card trading days and Star Wars tournaments with exclusive prizes. 

May 11th is an open community trading card day: 

“Let’s say you have a bunch of Magic: The Gathering cards that you want to look at to get rid of, or some Pokémon cards or whatever. Maybe you have some cards and are looking for something that you don’t have in your collection. Great day to come out and talk to the people that have cards, and you know trade cards with one another,” shared the founders.

On May 18th, Bored Bard will host its next big tournament with the new hit “Star Wars Unlimited” card game.

Plans are also underway for a Warhammer community day, aimed at uniting enthusiasts of the popular tabletop game for epic battles and camaraderie.

With its commitment to building a vibrant gaming community, Bored Bard Games continues to make waves in Iron Mountain, sparking joy and camaraderie one roll of the dice at a time.
