The past few days have been a whirlwind of despair and joy for all of us at Game Knights and i am so excited i get to be sharing a moment of JOY with all of you right now.

when we made the decision to close i had no idea what was going to happen next. no idea what or who or how or just about anything. one thing was clear from hearing from the community and from what i knew myself.

Hilo absolutely needed a place for the gaming community to call home. it deserved a home.

i am so happy to announce that someone has stepped up in an amazingly huge way and could really use your help to make this new home a reality and a lasting dream come true for all of us.

as things progress i am sure we will all be getting more information but i hope you take a look and get involved!

Our Website Our Facebook Game Knights is closing and this is a great loss to the community. It now falls to the community and it's members to come together, restore and build another gaming hub. Two idiots have decided to take on the financial risk and invest in starting up a new store to repla...

Game Knights Closing

No clever title, no beating around the bush and no final hour top deck to to turn it around.

with the saddest of hearts i have the task of informing all of you, our wonderful friends, family and customers that very shortly Game knights will be closing its doors for good.

we do not make this decision lightly nor had we intended for this announcement to come so suddenly. we were praying for miracles and planning for at least another month or two. to square out accounts, finish off a magic season and hopefully turn it around or give someone the time to take up the mantle of our wonderful community.

unfortunately a large sum of money went missing over pre-release weekend. while this was only the final nail in the coffin we were hoping to never fill... we are left with no other options and very little time.

ALL of you in the community have been so amazing. seriously amazing. you have made every 40-80 hour work week for less then no money feel like a dream job for over a year now. i have been truly blessed to be able to serve all of you. also i need all of you to know that this is not on you. there was a lot working against us but YOU, our patrons were never anything less then amazing.

our doors will remain open for as long as we can and as soon as we have a definite closing date we will let all of you know. anyone who has tickets or store credit please come in and use it as soon as possible on the unfortunately small inventory we have left.

events will be run as scheduled for at least the next week or two (except for this Fridays MTG draft, which will likely be standard) but again prizes will be what we have left in the store.

if there is anyone with a considerable amount of capitol who has considered opening a store and would like any help we can offer let us know. we have learned a lot over the past two years and would love to share that with anyone who might be better situated to own a game store in hilo.

as more details arise i will do my best to keep all of you up to date.

Greetings gamers and Happy Fantastic Friday!!! The week is nearly over and we have an awesome weekend ahead of us. The promised hour is upon us and The God Pharaoh Nicol Bolas has returned. It seems the long awaited prophecy was but a farce as darkness shrouds the lands. Three new monstrous titans emerge from a deep slumber which threaten the very existence of people and lands. The gods of Amonkhet ban together to fend off these new foes, all the while the truth behind the God pharaoh is revealed. Do you have what it takes to sway this battle of the gods? Come on down to Game knights in hilo and brave the trials at one of our 5 prereleases for Hour of Devastation. Which side will you choose?
