It's hard to believe that it was 30 years ago this month (July of 1992) when That's Entertainment moved from the corner of Queen and Chandler Street (top photo) to it's current location at the corner of Lois Lane and Park Ave in Worcester, MA (bottom photo). Moving from 2,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet, store owner Paul Howley thought he could never fill the new and much larger space. Flash forward to 2022 and we now need more space to accommodate the wide variety of merchandise the store carries.
We look back fondly at where it all began,
remembering our roots and all those who helped us along the way.

NEW BOARD GAMES THIS WEEK! |
|
Smash-Up Disney-$34.99
(2-4 Players/30-60 mins)
|
The "shuffle building" game Smash Up begins with a simple premise: Take the 20-card decks of two factions, shuffle them into a deck of forty cards, then compete to crush more bases than your opponents! Each faction involves a different gaming mechanism, and each combination of factions brings a different gaming experience.
In Smash Up: Disney Edition, players choose two decks of fan-favorite Disney factions and combine their powers to take over bases, earn the most points, and win! Choose two from Frozen, Big Hero 6, Wreck-It Ralph, The Lion King, Mulan, Aladdin, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Beauty & the Beast to create the most exciting team-ups imaginable!
During the game, base cards — each with their own difficulties and abilities — are at stake. By playing cards from your hand, you try to have the most powerful set of minions on a base when the base is broken. When this happens, the three most powerful players on that base score points. When a player has 15 or more points at the end of a turn, they win. If two or more players have more than 15 VP, the one with the most points wins.

Exit: Lord of the Rings
(1-4 Players/45-90 mins)
|
Hurry up, hobbits, because a threat grows in the land of Mordor where the shadows loom. Frodo and his companions have set out to save Middle-earth, and the fate of the free world is now in their hands — and in the hands of the players because the companions need help!
In Exit: The Game – The Lord of the Rings – Shadows over Middle-earth, the mighty wizard Gandalf has sent the players on a crucial mission, so they must embark on an adventure and fulfill his assignments for otherwise all hope dies. Together players visit the locations from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings", solve tricky magic puzzles, and support the companions against Nazgul, orcs, and other dark figures.
Difficulty level: 2 of 5

Star Wars Outer Rim: Unfinished Business Expansion -$44.99 |
You’ve made a name for yourself in the Outer Rim, but there is still Unfinished Business. Hyperlanes through the Core Worlds hold the promise of untapped opportunities. The market is flush with new merchandise, from valuable cargo to tools of the trade. Just watch your step; the latest crop of bounties is even deadlier, and your rivals are looking to take you down!
Unfinished Business, an expansion for Star Wars: Outer Rim, is packed with more of everything the game has to offer: characters, ships, gear, bounties, jobs, encounters, dice, and more! Two new tiles allow players to cross the galaxy by passing through the Core Worlds, and the new “favors” and “ambitions” change up how the game is played. Fire up your engines—it’s time to get down to business.
Not a standalone product. A copy of the Star Wars: Outer Rim base game is required to play.

Here to Slay -$24.99
(2-6 Players/15-90 mins)
|
Here to Slay is a competitive role-playing fantasy strategy card game that's all about assembling a party of Heroes and slaying monsters (and sometimes sabotaging your friends too) from the creators of Unstable Unicorns.
In this game, you’ll assemble a full party of heroes to slay dangerous monsters while working to avoid the sabotage of your foes. The game also includes items you can equip to your heroes, 1V1 challenge cards, and roll modifiers to tip the odds in your favor.
The first person to successfully slay three monsters, or build a full party with six classes, wins the game!
Every player gets to choose a party leader character to represent them throughout the game. Each party leader card has a class and a skill that gives you an edge over your opponents. Whether you enjoy fighters, bards, wizards, or thieves, you'll find a party leader that's right for your play style - but choose wisely, because you only get one party leader for the whole game!
Your heroes are brave adventurers, ready to attack monsters and go head to head with your foes! The game includes over 40 unique heroes. Each hero card has a class and an effect, and each hero’s effect has a roll requirement. In order to use a hero’s effect, you must roll two dice and score equal to or higher than that effect’s roll requirement. Heroes take advantage of items, magic and modifiers to increase their chances of making their dice rolls.
In order to slay that monster, you must roll two dice and score equal to or higher than that monster’s roll requirement. Be warned: Each monster has a roll range in which they’ll fight back, and if you score within that range, your party might be in grave danger…
Don't like what your opponent just played? Throw down a challenge! Challenge cards can be played instantly to try to stop another player from playing a hero, item, or magic card. Playing a challenge card initiates a 1V1 challenge in which you and another player both have to roll the dice. If they win the challenge, they still get to play their card, but if you win the challenge, you get to send their card directly to the discard pile!

Wrong Party - $24.99
(2-6 Players/15-90 mins)
|
Consider this your invitation to Wrong Party! In this delightfully quirky draft-style card game, compete with your friends to create the GGLOAT—that is, the Greatest Guest List of All Time—by choosing from a variety of mismatched characters and party themes. Will you host the perfect party or kill the vibe?
- 2-5 player card game
- 30-60 minute playtime
- Ages 12+
- Box contains: 152 game cards, 1 Score Tracker, and 5 Party Hats
What happens when you invite a Baby, your Dentist, a Drug-Sniffing Dog, and a Mall Santa to Slay a Dragon? And what Murder Mystery Party would be complete without a Proud Mom of an Honor Roll Student and a Cult Leader butting heads? If the front row of your Royal Wedding doesn’t feature a Killer Clown, are you really doing it right?
In Wrong Party, players earn points by matching a wide range of characters to different Party Themes while actively sabotaging their opponents. Send cards to your Party Area or Uninvited Guests pile, and then pass on the rest of your hand to the next player. Once your Party Area is full, it’s time to count up your points. The player with the most points after 3 rounds wins the game. Don’t let your party flop!

Jonah Jameson; and the debut of classic villains including the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, the Sandman, the Vulture and Electro!

Lore Olympus Volume 2 - $21.00
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Witness what the gods do after dark in the second volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe.
“It’s easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative.”—Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles
Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home—from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo—and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods. Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.
This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This volume collects episodes 26–49 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.
