Back to back to back!

We have a fun Fall season ahead of us! We have some updates for you and some event reminders for those interested in joining us over the next several weeks.


We hosted our usual monthly Shili Cantina Sabacc night at The Bao Spot in Downtown Orlando on Saturday, August 31st and had a pretty big turn out! We filled half the restaurant with our friends from all over FL. showing up to have a great time and even some friends visiting from out of state! We had a table dedicated to Corellian Spike, a table for Coruscant Shift, AND a new table dedicated to the brand new Kessel Sabacc! We had some friends rotate tables to learn the new game and play the over variants. We had a great time! We also had a chance to showcase Offworld Export’s “Gambler Docks” during our Sabacc games! It’s an incredible 3D printed design to hold your cards & credits with Aurebesh designs. Consider some for your cantina nights too! We're always so happy to see familiar faces return to our monthly game nights and we had a blast that night especially! Thank you for joining us and thank you for continuing to support our friends at The Bao Spot too!



We attended our first 3-day event for Fanboy Expo Orlando this past weekend! We hosted free gameplay most of the time but our S4C Charity Tournament was a success. We had 11 sign-ups and 3 incredible winners! In 3rd place, we had a first-time player named Joshua walk away with a load of confidence. Our 2nd place Ghostbuster, Paul, was fantastic. And our winner and novice, Elias, walked away with not only a S4C trophy but a big smile across his face too. We are grateful for those in attendance that were able to help us raise awareness and donations to our non-profit of choice, City Year Orlando (CYO). For those that don't know, City Year is a national nonprofit that finds college-aged individuals willing to make an impact by becoming tutors & mentors for students in underserved communities, not only within Orlando but across the US. CYO helps Orange County Public School (OCPS) students with their daily attendance, behavioral skills, and course performance. 100% of the proceeds we collected will stay local to purchase supplies for CYO students to encourage their love for learning. Thank you for your support!



We made lots of new friends at this convention and we hope to see some familiar faces at future events!

We also want to thank and spotlight our new friends from Magic Merch, Project Luna Rock, & Dune Sea Ranch! Magic Merch had donated a beautiful Rebels canvas bag and decorative Star Wars stickers, Project Luna Rock donated some phenomenal Star Wars enamel pins and stickers too, and Dune Sea Ranch contributed to our cantina atmosphere and created some Imperial Wanted Posters with some of our volunteers as models. We were blown away by your kindness and would love to continue these collaborative efforts towards a good cause! We can’t thank you enough for helping us support City Year Orlando.


We couldn’t have hosted this tournament without our beloved sponsors! Huge thank you to our friends at Hicks Garage Doors, Hyperspace Props, Offworld Exports, & Clever 3D Studios. We had numerous con attendees ask us where they could buy a deck of Sabacc cards so we hope to see new patrons of Hyperspace Props for their stunning high quality decks & metal credits. Lots of compliments on our credit docks by Offworld Exports, oohs & ahhs towards our lovely trophy thanks to Hicks Garage Doors, and lots of curious Mandos asking where our pauldons came from courtesy of Clever 3D Studios.


Catch us supporting MORE great causes at Ocala Comic Con (09/21 & 09/22 - supporting The Boys & Girls Club of Citrus County) and HalcyCon (10/04 & 10/05 - supporting Better Life Pet Rescue)! Come join us at Ocala Comic Con as we've come full circle from our first convention event a year ago. We're really looking forward to the first of its kind, HalcyCon! We will have updated never-seen-before cantina decor, new original characters to introduce, and prizes in store you won't want to miss!


Before we finish this blog post, we would love to invite you to our Sabacc for Charity Anniversary Event on Saturday, September 28th to celebrate 1 whole year of having fun and giving back to our local community! We will be meeting at The Bao Spot at 6pm and would love to have you dress up, bring your friends, have a good time, and celebrate with us just the start of what else is to come. We have so many charities we would like to consider in the future and we have so much Star Wars love to give! Join us and enjoy some Sabacc!


See you there!
