It&#8217;s an outpost for gamers who don&#8217;t need electricity: board games, trading cards, and group gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do tabletop combat games. War Hammer 40,000 is what we&#8217;re doing tonight and is the most popular,&#8221; Goldman said.<\/p>\n<p>On this particular night, the gathering was all about mini-painting-and-modeling, but that was not a requirement to sit at the table.<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sf-game-post-060926.jpg#.jpeg\" alt=\"sf-game-post-060926.jpg \" height=\"348\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  A gathering at the Game Post in San Francisco, which has been targeted in a string of recent burglaries.<\/p>\n<p>                CBS<\/p>\n<p>Gwendolyn takes medication that causes their hands to shake. For them, this is about community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cause I come here every single day except the days I have medical appointments at the VA,&#8221; Gwendolyn said. This helps me with my depression that I have. And being with people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everyone in this room, but mostly Diana, has been dealing with break-in after break-in, leading to about $10,000 in damages and stolen merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One in April, one in may. I forgot when the window was, but the last one was just two weeks ago,&#8221; Goldman told CBS News Bay Area. &#8220;There&#8217;s still a lot of anxiety. I&#8217;ll wake up late at night to check my phone, even though he&#8217;s been caught.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco Police arrested someone in the most recent break-in, which gives Golman hope that it may have been just one person behind it all.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman admits she was close to shutting it all down with the string of burglaries, but she&#8217;s received overwhelming support from her community, to at least play a few more rounds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People feel comfortable going here, which I just appreciate,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A gaming store in San Francisco keeps getting broken into, leading to loss after loss and a mountain&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[766,2836,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-353239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-burglary","tag-retail-theft","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
