The NY State Renaissance Faire features many games of skill. Like most carnivals or fairs, you pay some money, attempt a game and potentially win a prize. The Ren Faire adds their special spin on this concept by offering weapon based games.

Whether it's a basic hammer to test your strength or hurling an ax to test your poise, there is an option for everyone in the Gaming Glenn at The Ren Faire.
