TG&G located at the Tucson Mall brings you back into the world of Fantasy gaming with its unique motif and gives you a gaming experience like no other. The store was designed by gamers for gamers and you will find over 2000 square feet of gaming space. There is also a full bar named, the Short Rest Tavern, which has 6 local beers and 1 cider on tap, as well as the largest selection of mead in Southern Arizona. AND YES, Blood Bowl Coaches can purchase and drink alcoholic beverages while playing Blood Bowl at TMBBT, being that you are 21 years old of course! There is also a selection of snacks and bar food that is available to purchase as well.

Upon your arrival at the Tucson Mall, TG&G ask that your park in parking lot #4 which is located on the northwest side of the mall. Once parked, just enter the Tucson Mall's #4 entrance located between the Dillard's and Sear's buildings. You'll be on the 2nd floor of the mall and you should immediately see TG&G directly ahead of you when you walk in from the #4 entrance.

Refer to the photos of the Tucson Mall and TG&G below.

TMBBT Host's
(Tony B.) Tucson Recommendations:

WHERE TO STAY:
If flying into Tucson International Airport, there are tons of hotels right next to the airport. However, Tucson Games & Gadgets (TG&G) at the Tucson Mall is 13 miles from the airport. If you are looking for somewhere to stay closer to the venue, than these may be some good options for you:
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS
620 E. Wetmore Rd. Tucson, AZ 85705 (1/4 mile from Tucson Mall)
OR
COMFORT SUITES at TUCSON MALL
515 W. Auto Mall Dr. Tucson, AZ 85705 (1/4 mile from Tucson Mall)
Literally right across the street from the Tucson Mall, the Holiday Inn and
the Comfort Suits are the closet hotels to the 2024 TMBBT.
You could honestly walk from either of these hotels to the Tucson Mall, but
it being monsoon season I would not want you or your Blood Bowl Team
to be drenched by Kokopelli's torrential rains, blown down by his micro-burst
winds, or swept away by his raging floods. $$
HAMPTON INN & SUITES
5950 N. Oracle Rd. Tucson, AZ 85704 (2.5 miles from Tucson Mall)
Directly north from the Tucson Mall on oracle Rd. this Hampton Inn is next
to some great restaurants on N. Oracle R. $$
TUCSON MARRIOTT UNIVERSITY PARK
880 E. 2nd St. Tucson, AZ 85719 (5 miles from Tucson Mall)
Right in the heart of the action by the University of Arizona, the Marriott will
be ideal if you want to check out the U of A, or hit up some of the best
college bars in town. $$$
THE WESTIN LA PALOMA RESORT & SPA
3800 E. Sunrise Dr. Tucson, AZ 85718 (7 miles from Tucson Mall)
If you are coming to Tucson with your family or significant other, I highly
suggest you stay at the La Paloma Resort. Located northeast from the
Tucson Mall, La Paloma has one of the best views of Tucson. The pool
at La Paloma as a slide and also has a cool waterfall and a hot tub to
relax. Up and down E. Sunrise Dr. you'll find Tucson's best restaurants. $$$$

WHERE TO EAT:
During the 2024 TMBBT 1 hour(ish) lunch break, the Tucson Mall has a food court which has your run-of-the-mill mall restaurant options to choose from. Around the Tucson Mall you'll find some great chain restaurants like In-N-Out, Cheesecake Factory, Churrasco de Brasil, MOD Pizza, Olive Garden, Jimmy John's, Chipotle, BJ's, Chick-fil-A, Raising Canes, and First Watch to name a few.
