We hope you have enjoyed this app. It was designed by a parent, business owner, and teacher who, two days into COVID-19 social distancing, realized it takes a LOT of work to plan for two kiddos! The idea is to share this website for free, to update it through crowd sourcing, and to also host it on the business website. If you're thankful and willing, it would be awesome to help support the business as a thanks for this app and perhaps even for the things the business has done for the greater community. Weekend Anime & Games has an online web store now (thanks COVID-19!) and through it you can send us your thanks or even buy a gift card. You might not be able to come to our events right now, or get down to the shop for a new board game delivered to your car, but maybe this app or future games can help you and help us through this pandemic together.
