Boardgames & Vinyl at Baba’s Coffee - Carlsbad

Baba’s is a really dope in downtown Carlsbad. They started hosting boardgame and Vinyl parties where you can bring your own records to play and each week has a different theme. Themes of previous weeks were County music and British bands as an example. For vibes, this place is it. Also, our pals The Soto Six performs there regularly. If you want to hear them play some non-Mario Kart music, this is spot.

Midweek Game Night at Wild West Mead - Vista

Mead gets overlooked a lot when it comes to adult beverages and that’s a real shame because there’s a quite a few incredible local meaderies here in North County. The one we’re highlighting here is Wild West Mead since they host two separate game nights on Wednesday & Thursdays and they have a great selection of boardgames in their library.

Bonus points: They have huge tables perfect for wargaming.

The weekend is almost here and we have a huge list of things you can do this weekend on our weekly round of up gaming events in North County. Here’s a link to that post:

Be sure to check it out if you’re a Star Wars fan as there’s a bunch of events this upcoming week for the new Star Wars Unlimited set. But as for this newsletter we’re going to focus on talking about a new venue for Fighting Games here in North County and their Fighting Game Tournaments this weekend.

Super Cute Collectibles’ First Fighting Game Tournament

supercutecollectibles
A post shared by @supercutecollectibles

Found in the newly opened Cultured Vibe at the Escondido Mall, Super Cute Collectibles is trying to position itself as a place where fighting game enjoyers can hang out and throw some digital fists. In their booth they have a Street Fighter 6 arcade machine (which typically isn’t found outside Japan), so you know they have a passion about this type of game.

They also sell original, anime-inspired clothing and the designs are really cool; we’re partial to their car enthusiast collection.

As a special event this weekend, Super Cute Collectibles is hosting their first fighting game tournaments. They have a small, 8-person tournament for Street Fighter 6 tonight (Friday, March 7, 2025) which is currently full, but it looks like they still have room in their Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike tournament this Sunday.

Even though the Street Fighter 6 event is full, we’re still going to go check it out because we are dying for more spaces like this in North County. Go support your local gaming community.

Pinball Tournament at the Coop - Fanny Pack Day Special

If you’re a fanny pack enthusiast, its time to jump on board the pinball train. The Coop in Escondido is hosting a Pinball tournament this Saturday, March 8 and you get your IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association) fees waived if you wear your bum bag. How could you possibly pass up this opportunity?

Game Tasting and Wine

A post shared by @letsplayagame_foundation

The Let’s Play A Game Foundation is classing it up and hosting a board game event at Grafted Cellars in Vista next Thursday, March 13, 2025. This seems like the perfect venue to break out your favorite, overly thinky, Eurogame. This is your opportunity to play Stefan Feld’s Castles of Burgundy with a wine featuring Grapes from Burgundy. Or maybe you can get in the real spirit of the event and play a game of Viticulture.

Disclaimer: Not sure if those games will actually be there, but someone definitely should bring any wine inspired/related game to this event.

Thanks for reading this week. We hope you find an event that interests you and you meet some new people. Let’s keep building North County into the best place for in-person gaming.

Thursday, February 27 was Pokemon day and we saw some new information about Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the second installment in the Legends series. Pokemon Legends: Arceus was a breath of fresh air in the Pokemon game formula and we hope Z-A will finally be the Pokemon game that brings about world peace, like they’ve been promising for a couple of decades now.

We also have a couple of Pokemon events in North County that are worth mentioning, but before we get to calling out those events, you can view the full list of gaming events for the week here.

Knowhere Games - Pokemon Day sales (2/28, 3/2 & 3/3)

Knowhere Games in San Marcos is having several great Pokemon TCG deals up until 3/3. They have gifts if you spend $10 on Pokemon items and you’ll be entered into a special drawing if you spend at least $15.

Not only that, they’ll have Pokemon TCG experts in the store to teach you how to play if you’re interested. See the instagram post below for full details:

Saturday Strikes Pinball Tournament at Eppig Brewing on 3/1

The first Saturday of the month is the San Diego Pinball Club’s tournament at Eppig Brewing in Vista, Ca. This event has steadily been growing since it started late last year and they had over 40 participants last month. The pinball renaissance is here and you should grab a beer and join in. Not to mention the fantastic Lost Abbey brewery’s vista location is now located within the Eppig Brewery, so that’s all the more reason to go.

Thanks for reading. This was a very ‘us’ focused newsletter, but this is our busiest week of the year so far. We’ll start focusing on more communities in North County starting next week. Did you know we have a very active LARP scene that meets in Oceanside every week? Maybe we’ll talk more about them next week.
