Episode 7: Chicagoland Games: The Dice Dojo co-owner Lexx Dunning on running a friendly local game store

Lexx Dunning, co-owner of Chicagoland Games The Dice Dojo

This episode Clark speaks to Lexx Dunning, the co-owner — along with J.P. Nery — of Chicagoland Games: The Dice Dojo. Lexx talks about growing up with a gaming dad, just missing the Seattle gaming explosion, why working at a gaming store may not help you finish your dissertation, and how he came to open an FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store) at the height of the 2008 recession. You’ll also hear what he thinks it takes to run a successful game store, why he’s not afraid of online retailers, and how The Dice Dojo weathered the COVID-19 pandemic. And, of course, you’ll also hear how Lexx answers our regular Board Game Times minigame questionnaire questions!
