I found myself downtown Pittsburgh one evening because a gaming event I was attending was cancelled. I admit, I thought Victory Pointe was all video games. I WAS WRONG. This place is amazing! Joe Dukovich, owner of Victory Pointe, has video games, pinball, board games, role playing games sessions, rock band lounge, virtual reality room, computer games and an escape room. I couldn't believe my luck. I never wanted to leave. You need to stop by for the day ... and don't forget to get one of Joe's amazing chocolate shakes!

On our previous adventure, we talked to Steve Franz at Nerds, Cards and Comics https://www.nerdscardsandcomics.com/, it lead me to find Chris Baum an Pittsburgh based illustrator for Eye4Games (http://eye4games.com/).

WOW! A game illustrator right here in Pittsburgh PA!

I was intrigued with the shelf set aside by Steve for his friend Chris who illustrated all these games for Eye4Games. Beautiful work! The best part is he was willing to talk about their games and what it takes to be a game illustrator. Listen in on this podcast as he talks about his work, you'll see the podcast below. If you want to purchase any of their games, go straight to their gumroad shop here https://gumroad.com/eye4games

Quest for games and game events in the Pittsburgh areaWhat: Nerds, Cards and ComicsWhere: Bridgeville PA https://www.nerdscardsandcomics.com/Who: Steve FranzWhen: Game night once a month on premises see Western PA Gaming Meetup, kid friendly game night 4-5 times a year, Main store is accessible, game day is played downstairs is not. Snacks available for purchase. I met up with Steve Franz one Saturday morning to talk about his store. I loved the well stocked shelves of comics and collectible cards. It reminded me of my favorite comic book store Hole in the Wall Books back home in Northern Virginia. I found Steve very approachable and engaging, truly at ease sitting in the middle of his store he is proud of. Being a board game enthusiast, he started a section of his store stocked full of board games. He is especially proud of his friend, Pittsburgh based, Chris Baum's illustrations and has a special shelf put aside filled with only Eye4Games board games. That intrigued me to reach out to his friend and find out more about his work and company. Listen in on our chat about Steve's store Nerds Cards and Comics. Have you been to Nerds Cards and Comics? What was your experience? Did you attend their board game night? Games mentioned: Magic the gathering,
