We're embracing arcane racing this month, but not every game on our curated shelf is trying to cross the finish line. Some are here for magical duels, fantasy kingdoms, and a little romantic chaos!
If the racetrack is where the chaos starts, these magical picks are where it spreads:
💘 Dream Crush: choose your perfect Crush, predict who everyone else is falling for, and discover increasingly ridiculous relationship milestones along the way. Play it the normal way or the Love is Blind variation!
🪄 Epic Spell Wars: build absurd spell combinations to obliterate your rivals in a battle where overkill is the whole point. Expect explosions, betrayals, and plenty of cackling!
👑 Fantasy Realms: craft the most powerful fantasy realm by building clever card combinations. Fast to learn, satisfying to master, and full of magical synergies!
Whether you're casting spells, building kingdoms, or debating your questionable dating choices, there's plenty of fantasy-fueled fun waiting this month. Come in, grab a drink and some food, and try a new game tonight!

This month at Vigilante, we're serving up racing games. No engines, just chaos, strategy, and maybe a little betting...
If Magical Athlete is the chaotic headliner, then these are the supporting acts keeping the whole racetrack on fire:
🐪Camel Up: camel racing, dice rolling, betting, and yet no one is fully in control on this racetrack
🧩Magic Maze: real-time teamwork where silence is mandatory and someone is going to LOVE the "Do Something" piece....incessant tapping may occur.
🏺Quest for El Dorado: a deck-building race through the jungle to get to the golden city of El Dorado
Come hang, grab a drink, and race to the finish line! And if you're feeling bold, try our Game of the Month, Magical Athlete.

The AI has heard your complaints and, against its better judgment, has authorized a second crawl.
Due to overwhelming demand, we're hosting an additional Dungeon Crawler Carl Trivia Night on July 1 for those who missed the sold-out June 24 event!
Because the July 1 event will feature the same questions, crawlers who participated on June 24 may not enter the July 1 competition. This additional session is intended to give new contestants a fair shot at glory, prizes, and surviving the deadliest trivia show in the galaxy.
*Reminder: Only 1 member from your team needs to sign up! Teams are limited to 8 participants!

The legendary, delightfully unhinged Magical Athlete has returned, and we're absolutely here for it!
This isn't a racing game so much as a race-shaped chaos generator. Draft a team of bizarre athletes, pick your runner, and unleash RIDICULOUS, game-breaking powers that would make an anime rival shout, "This can't be possible!"
If your favorite part of game night is when everything goes completely off the rails and somehow gets even better, Magical Athlete is your game! Come see why so many people have been excited about this reprint and discover (or rediscover) one of the weirdest, funniest racing games around!

The dungeon is open, the AI is watching, and Princess Donut demands excellence!
Join us for a night of Dungeon Crawler Carl Trivia, covering the first four books of Matt Dinniman's wildly popular LitRPG series. From exploding goblins and suspicious achievement notifications to Mongo's adventures and the secrets of the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook, we'll test your knowledge of Carl, Donut, and the deadliest reality show in the galaxy.
Whether you're a casual crawler or a cookbook-carrying anarchist, you'll face questions ranging from memorable moments and characters to deep-cut lore that only the most dedicated fans will survive.
Gather your party, brush up on your achievements, and remember: You will not break me.
Prizes await the teams who can make it through all four floors. No sponsors required. Costumes strongly encouraged.
📆 Date: June 24th

We considered letting Chandra behind the bar this month.
Unfortunately, "dealing damage to everything" isn't considered good hospitality.
So instead, we made Chandra's Ignition!
🔥 A pineapple margarita, hot and fresh out of the kitchen, with charred pineapple, a little poblano kick, lime and agave, and a tajín rim worthy of a planeswalker.
Unlike the card, this version deals damage primarily to thirst.
Thematically appropriate.
Significantly safer.

The kitchen discovered the Food mechanic and immediately became too powerful!
After extensive playtesting, they've unleashed:
Mana Rocks
A high-mana combo of crispy house-brined karaage chicken, fluffy rice, spring mix, and lemon spicy mayo.
Call of Curdthulu
Beer-battered cheddar curds fried by eldritch flavor magic and touched by forces beyond comprehension.
Wild Magic Cake
An ooey gooey butter cake packed with surprise jam for a chaotically flavorful edge!
Some racers run on aether. Our kitchen runs on caffeine, good music, and the deep yearning for validation. While compliments are greatly appreciated, our cooks have informed us that Buying the BOH a Beer is a much more reliable source of mana.
