The 5th Annual Board Game Rodeo
Five years in, and it’s still the best table in town. The Board Game Rodeo returns to 9 Mile Brewing on Sunday, November 15th — a full afternoon of tabletop gaming for players of every stripe, from first-timers to people who own more shelves than chairs.
Bring your favorite games, bring your family and friends, or just show up empty-handed and we’ll get you into something good.
Date: 11/15/2026
Time: 1p – 6p
Location: 9 Mile Brewing — 9555 James Ave S, Suite 290, Bloomington, MN
Admission: Free
What’s happening:
- Open play all afternoon — hundreds of games on hand, plus whatever you bring from home
- Demos and tutorials — our volunteers will teach you something new, whether that’s a 15-minute filler or a heavier strategy game you’ve been curious about
- An exclusive beer release from 9 Mile Brewing, poured for the occasion
- Silent auction and raffle featuring games, gift cards, and goods from local businesses
- Fun for the whole family — kid-friendly titles and tables all day
Why we’re here: Every dollar raised goes directly to Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, MN — 150 acres of marsh, prairie, and woods, and one of the best free resources in the south metro.
What you can win:
- Sealed board games, new in box
- Gift cards to local game stores and restaurants
- One-of-a-kind products from Minnesota small businesses
