Jay

Hi, I’m Jay – the “owner” of Clan Shots Gaming… but let’s be honest, I’m really just the guy who watches Gem and Kian do all the hard work while I pretend to be busy.
CSG was a wild idea that started during the pandemic, when I figured selling GW products might help cover the rent. Fast forward, and somehow we’ve built this amazing community of gamers, waffle lovers, and caffeine enthusiasts – and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
My goal? To keep making CSG the go-to gaming spot you all deserve – whether that means hosting epic MTG Commander nights, expanding our board game collection, or just making sure there’s always good food and good vibes.
Things I love? 🦇 Batman (because, obviously), 🎲 Cascadia (tile-laying goodness), 🃏 MTG Commander, and 🥃 Spiced rum (because being a pirate I mean “owner” is hard work).
Come roll some dice, draw some cards, and remind me why I started this madness in the first place!

Gem

Hey, I’m Gem! You’ll usually find me in the kitchen, whipping up delicious treats and keeping the Clan Shots Crew fueled with waffles, cheesecakes, and other dangerously tasty things.
I love greeting everyone who pops in – just don’t ask me to make a decision, because I’ll probably panic and suggest a co-op game instead (teamwork makes the dream work, right?). That said, I can never say no to a quick, chaotic round of Stomp the Plank – because sometimes, shoving tiny pirates off a board is just good fun.
Favorite thing to eat at CSG? Easy – the s’mores waffle. Marshmallow, chocolate, biscuit... pure happiness on a plate. 😍
So come say hi, grab some food, and let’s play something where I don’t have to make too many tough choices!

Kian

Hey, I’m Kian – and don’t let Dad or Mum fool you… I run this place. Seriously. You’ll find me in the kitchen, setting up events, cleaning tables, fixing things, and generally making sure the whole operation doesn’t collapse into chaos.
When I’m not keeping Clan Shots in one piece, you’ll catch me playing MTG Commander, trying to squeeze in at least one game during our Thursday night battles (even though I probably should be working… shhh 🤫).
Favorite food? The breakfast waffle – because waffles are a 24/7 kind of meal.
Favorite drink? Rum – preferably shared with my Dad after a long day of keeping this place running.
Current favorite game? Kluster – because who doesn’t love magnets and chaos?
Batman? Yeah, I like him too… (Dad totally made me say that).
These 10:00 - 22:00 shifts are brutal, so come visit, grab some food, and let’s play a game before I pass out!
