Board Game Butler

06/14/2023

Tonight’s Grove Station event features 3 BBQ good trucks and a live band. Not ideal for playing board games, but still fun for other reasons. Butler is going to skip this one though…

06/11/2023

It is official: all of my excess board games have sold!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my business’s liquidation. You can gather your kin around your new board game and tell them the tale of a butler who rode off away from the sunset (because I’m heading East - get it?)

06/10/2023

I think I’m ready for tomorrows sale. Let’s see how this goes…

05/11/2023

I’m teaching Photosynthesis and providing all sorts of green games to celebrate Spring. Join me from 5-9 PM in that Attic of the Provo Library!

04/28/2023

Want to play games and ring an actual building bell? 🔔

Join me tonight at the Provo Library’s Attic space to do both! From now until 9 :D

04/26/2023

Tomorrow is a magical day! Not only will the Butler be at Grove Station, but he will also be selling dozens of board games below retail price!

No, the Butler isn't going out of business, but he's staying lean and mean (in other words: why rent a storage unit if no one ever wants the games inside?)

Join me! https://fb.me/e/4JZOrKYNh

And look over this list to see what I have in store...

Sincerest apologies, but the Board Game Butler will be unable to join tonight’s Grove Station Game Night, due to unforeseen complications. Please forgive the inconvenience.

Shameless cross-promotion alert!

My wife finally signed her first publishing deal and I couldn’t be prouder!

Her book will debut in Spring 2024. If you like reading, you should follow her page and - I don’t know - buy a copy when it hits the shelves (or cloud)…

Are you ready to learn and play as the trees do? Join us tonight at Mythos Games Utah!

Thank you for your contributions to the board gaming community, Klaus Teuber.

Dear friends,

It is with profound sadness that we at CATAN Studio acknowledge the passing of Klaus Teuber, legendary game designer and creator of the beloved board game CATAN. Our hearts go out to Klaus' family during this incredibly difficult time.

While Klaus' contributions to the board gaming industry are immeasurable, we will remember him most as a kind and selfless human being, an inspirational leader, and most importantly, as a friend. His legacy will continue to inspire and shape the gaming community for years to come.

We encourage you to honor Klaus' memory by being kind to one another, pursuing your creative passions fearlessly, and enjoying a game with your loved ones. Klaus' impact on the world of gaming will never be forgotten.

- The CATAN Studio Team

If you aren’t at Grove Station now, you’re missing all these great games and deals!

Have you heard about my new $5 for 2 WEEKS rental deal?!

Each Wednesday, I alternate between hosting games at Grove Station and Mythos. If you attend either free event, you may rent one of my 20 randomly chosen games for $5 for 2 weeks*. In other words, you pick up a game at my event in Pleasant Grove or South Jordan and you return it to the same event in 2 weeks.

Which games are available tomorrow? Here's the list:

Armadöra
Just One
Kero
Loot
Mind MGMT: The Psychic Espionage “Game.”
Monikers
Nothing Personal
Notre Dame
Ploy
Raccoon Tycoon
Red7
Slide Quest
Smash Up
Spyfall: Time Travel
Star Fluxx
Star Wars: Imperial Assault
Timeline: General Interest
Tortuga 2199
Trekking the World
Welcome To...

*Exclusions and Limitations:

- Any listed random game may be rented for $5 per 2-week period, while available. Reservations can be made in advance by messaging the Owner.

- A $5 deposit must be made with each game rental, refundable upon return and verification that game is complete and in like condition. Each missing or significantly damaged piece will result in a minimum $1 deduction per occurrence and may exceed the $5 deposit, requiring additional fees.

- Borrower must pick up AND return the rental to the corresponding event OR coordinate and drop off the rental at the Owner's Provo location, within the 2-week period.

- If the Borrower misses the 2-week return event window, they have a 1-day grace period to coordinate and drop off the rental at the Owner's Provo location. After the 1-day grace period, Borrower will be charged an additional late fee of $1 per day of delayed rental return. Total late fees will never exceed the current MSRP value of the rental (plus applicable taxes).

- No refunds of the rental fees shall be issued unless the game is reported to be in an unplayable state, meaning it is proven to be missing essential pieces before the game was rented out.

- The Owner is not responsible for the misuse of rental games or their components and shall not be held responsible for injuries or damages while in the care of the Borrower. The Borrower should read all instructions and heed all cautions and warnings, where applicable.

(Yes, I know this all sounds very "lawyer-come-lately," but I'm just trying to be cautious and thorough. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me. Thank you!)
