TONIGHT: "2024 PLAAY Games Holiday Sale Un-Wrapped"
Well, we're about to rev it up again for the Holiday Sale! “Ho, Ho, ho!” Please join us tonight on the PLAAY Games YouTube Channel (6pm MT, 8pm ET) and we'll walk you through how the sale will work this year (HINT: very similar to previous years!) and give you a sneak preview of SOME of the holiday surprises we've prepared!
Here are the basics...
• The sale begins at 12:01am ET Friday (11.29.24), and runs through 11:59pm ET Monday (12.02.24).
• 10% off all previously-released printed products (games, card sets, PLAAY mats, etc.)
• 50% off all previously-released PDF products (card sets, add-ons, PLAAY now games)
• NO coupon code needed! Discounts will be applied at check-out, you won't see them as you're putting items in your cart. Don't worry, it'll be automatically marked down at check-out!
In addition, we'll have a good number of Holiday Sale surprises...
• Printed and PDF items available ONLY during the four days of the Holiday Sale, and then GONE...(Discounts do NOT apply to these items)...
• "Spotlight Deals," Six Hours ONLY! Each day at 6am MT (8a ET) we'll introduce a handful of special deals, available ONLY until noon MT (2pm ET)! Discounts will NOT apply to these, they'll already be marked down.
• We'll have a couple of items DEBUTING during the sale, which will continue to be available after the sale is over, most notably two new pro tennis sets. The holiday discount WILL apply to these items!
• Holiday Sale FREEBIES! These will be available for free download all four days of the Holiday Sale, and then they'll disappear. You'll find them on the Holiday Sale page.
Other things to know...
• Patience, Please! We'll be experiencing heavy volume once the sale begins, and we appreciate your patience. We'll be slower to respond with e-mails, and our order turnaround time will be longer. Rest assured, we'll work as fast as we can and as hard as we can to get all orders in the mail as quickly as possible.
• Free Shipping Threshold Reduced for Holiday Sale: For the duration of the sale, we'll reduce the threshold for free shipping to $25.
• Miscellaneous Purchases Paused during Sale: So that we can maximize our order processing capacity, we've temporarily turned off the "miscellaneous purchases" option until the sale is over and we've gotten everybody's package in the mail. We expect to resume on-demand product printing sometime in mid-December.
Again, join us tonight for a sneak preview of SOME of the holiday items!...
PLAAY-Dot-CON 2025 PLAAY Passes Available TONIGHT!
"The best weekend of tabletop sports gaming" is back for 2025, and tickets will go on-sale during tonight's stream. You'll get the special "Super Early Bird" rate, AND we'll include the 10% Holiday Sale mark-down, for an early-bird rate of $71.10...that's more than HALF OFF the standard rate!

Online Christmas Party 12.12.24
Once the holiday sale is done, and all the packages shipped, we'll turn our attention to our annual online Christmas party! It's become a really FUN tradition, find an ugly Christmas sweater, grab some festive refreshments and join us online for some jovial holiday streaming! It'll be Thursday, 12.12.24 starting at 6pm MT (8pm ET) on the PLAAY Games YouTube channel! We'll have interactive chat, games, prizes and lots of holiday CHEER! PLUS--the annual White Elephant Gift Exchange!...
White Elephant Exchange Rules…
Here's how it works. YOU mail us something sports-themed from your attic, basement, closet, crawl space or whatever--(please DON'T buy something! It wouldn't be a White Elephant gift if you bought it!) Examples from past exchanges include football mini-helmets, books and magazines, sports figurines, out-of-print games, and more. Everyone who sends us a gift will GET a gift in return, we'll draw gifts randomly during the online party. We'll go in reverse order of gift receipt: the last gifts we get, those people go first. The early-birds get to go LAST. Remember, when it's your turn, you can opt to "steal" an already-opened gift from someone else rather than pick a new one from under the tree. There are ALWAYS some pretty sweet goodies under the tree--seems the old maxim is true, "one man's trash is another man's treasure!"
• Please mail your White Elephant gift to us NO LATER than 12.03.24, so that it will be sure to get here before the party and we'll have time to wrap it. If you need the mailing address, just e-mail us (or check the enclosed letter from a recent order!). Thanks!!
If you don't have a gift to send, you can still participate--we'll have extra gifts under the tree and will choose random participants from the chat room the night of the party!
2025 Look-Ahead Stream 01.09.25
After the online party, we'll scale things back for the last couple weeks of the year, celebrating the holidays with friends and loved ones and getting ready for 2025. Our annual "look-ahead" stream is planned for January 9th, where we'll pull back the curtain on what lies ahead for the new year! Don't miss it!
FREE Stuff!
We'll have some GREAT freebies as part of our holiday sale, be sure to check in starting Friday! In the meantime, for some Thanksgiving-themed football freebies, visit the Second Season Free Stuff page and click on the "Thanksgiving Games" link. Happy Thanksgiving!
