As I wait for the new freshmen to come over for advising, I thought I'd answer another plinky prompt. Today they ask, "If you owned a store, what would you sell?"

Game Time

I've had this idea for a store stuck in my head for a long time. My wife, our friends and family, and I really like to play games, but not your traditional card and board games. We play games like Imaginiff!, Loaded Questions, Five Crowns, Quiddler, UnoSpin, Whoonu, etc. Over the years, we've bought and tried (and been given) a lot of different games and I think it would be cool to own a game store.

More specifically, I've kicked the idea around so much in my mind that I've got a name (GameKnight), a layout (different kinds of games in "towers" at the corners of the store with the customer service/checkout in the middle surrounded by a moat painted on the floor), and a multiple-streams of income approach that includes retail sales, rentals, and room reservations. People could come in and rent a game to try it. We'd have demo versions of all of our games that they could open up and see. Customers could rent one of our game rooms for birthdays and such. The only rule: no video games. We'd carry all sorts of games, including the more advanced role-playing games and customizable collectible card games. It'd be a blast!

Yeah... I spend too much time in my head. ;-)
