What we’re about
Do you enjoy playing board games and looking for a place to find others that also enjoy playing? At Cole Street Game Vault in Enumclaw, WA we have several opportunities to meet up with others in the same boat!
All of our meet ups are open to everyone at any skill level. When we post in the event we'll note if we suggest watching a quick video tutorial of the game prior to attending or if the goal is a casual play group!
We get together every week on Monday evenings. The first week of every month is an Intro To Gaming series where we teach entry-level board games that use the building block mechanics that more complex games use, so new gamers can progress more into the hobby. The last Monday of every month is our Heavy Lifter's Club where a complex strategy game is chosen from our game vault for those members who'd like a chance to play a harder game they've never gotten a chance to, and to meet other gamers with a similar mindset when it comes to playing heavyweight games.

The Sorcerer is out to get you! Find your way among the illusions, but beware of the traitor in your ranks!
The Grimoire guides their team towards the exit using images, upon which they point at certain details. Working together, the other players have to find the exit as quickly as possible while avoiding picking the wrong cards. However, a member of the team is a traitor looking to lead the other players astray. A wide variety of traps are on your way to the exit of the library, making player communication harder!
Obscurio is a family game, an original mix between an image-based communication game and a secret role game in which the players have to be careful when sharing ideas with their team. Supported by rich contents, Obscurio proposes a fresh new experience in its genre by putting the emphasis on the details of the images and the constant doubt created by the presence of the traitor.
Communicate efficiently and avoid the illusions on your way to escape the Sorcerer's library! - ScovilleCole Street Game Vault, Enumclaw, WA

The town of Scoville likes it hot! Very hot! That means they love their peppers – but they're too busy eating them to grow the peppers themselves. That's where you come in.
You've been hired by the town of Scoville to meet their need for heat. Your role as an employee of Scoville is to crossbreed peppers to create the hottest new breeds. You'll have to manage the auctioning, planting, and harvesting of peppers, then you'll be able to help the town by fulfilling their orders and creating new pepper breeds. Help make the town of Scoville a booming success! Let's get planting!
A round of Scoville consists of a blind auction, which determines player order, a planting phase, a harvesting phase, and a fulfillment phase. Each round, the players plant peppers in the fields. Throughout the game, the available opportunities for crossbreeding increase as more peppers are planted. When harvesting, players move their pawn through the fields, and whenever they move between two planted fields, they harvest peppers. If, for example, they harvest between fields of red and yellow peppers, they crossbreed those and harvest an orange pepper. Harvested peppers are then used to fulfill the town's peppery desires!
