So with a "Th-Fri-Sat" and a "weekends", it looks like Sat is our target day.
Looking at a map it appears Gary's Games is our closest/most central location option. Followed by Cafe Mox with Raygun barely beating out AFK although parking at Raygun may be an issue.

- I've shopped at Gary's Games, but never played there. How are they on playing games there that they don't sell?
- Same goes for Cafe Mox: I've shopped, but never played there.
As business models go, shop owners provide space for gamers who play games that others can buy there (essentially advertising) or to allow you a space to play games that they know you will buy expansions/accessories for at their shop. MFZ offers neither of these. Something we should keep in mind.
- Also, my preference will always be for a place where I can have a beer. It makes my inevitable loses taste better.
