The Legend of the Five Rings – release & release party

Posted on by October 4, 2017

Back in 1995 a new collectible card game arrived on the scene, the Legend of the Five Rings (L5R). Drawing inspiration feudal Japan and other Asian cultures. It told the story of the land of Rokugan. The game lasted for 20 years. Then there was a year of silence.

This week, on October 5th, the Legend of the Five Rings returns as a new Living Card Game (LCG) with new mechanics and story, and you are invited to join the Great Clans, uphold the tenets of Bushido, and fulfill your duty to your daimyo and the Emperor in a world shaped and changed by a dynamic, player-influenced story. The game can be won through might or honor, or be lost through dishonor.

For those of you not familiar with LCGs, the cards are sold in fixed packs – so there is no randomization, you always know what you are buying.

October 14th, starting when we open the door at 11 AM we will be holding our launch party, the first 24 people will receive a lanyard, badge, and clan sticker sheet.

Facebook users! please tell us you are coming – we will make it worth your while. If you hate Facebook, just comment here and you will be available for the special drawing of upgraded tokens.

Come on in and learn the game!

Star Wars Destiny Draft

Posted on by September 22, 2017

This Tuesday, Sept 26 at 7PM, we’re going to try a Star Wars Destiny Booster Draft.

Each player buys 8 packs:

  • 2 Awakenings Booster Packs
  • 2 Spirit of Rebellion Booster Packs
  • 4 Empire at War Booster Packs

Each player should bring to the game 30 points of non-Legendary characters and one Battlefield. Your characters may be comprised of either or both affiliations (both Light and Dark Side is permitted). Elite characters are allowed. Characters from Starter Sets are allowed.

Drafting procedure:

  • Each player opens 1 pack of Awakenings, 1 pack of Spirit of Rebellion, and 2 packs of Empire at War, confirms that the rare/legendary cards match the dice, and place all dice in the center of the table.
  • Players then simultaneously pick one card to keep and place it face down in front of them.
  • All other cards are simultaneously passed to the player on the left.
  • Players continue to pick and pass until all cards have been chosen.

The steps are followed a second time, only passing the packs to the right.

After both rounds of drafting are completed, players claim the dice matching the cards they drafted.

Once drafting is completed, players are given 30 minutes to build a 20-card deck. The deck must adhere to card color rules, but does NOT have to adhere to affiliation rules. Players may replace characters they brought with characters they drafted, but must play with no more than 30 points of characters. Drafted Legendary characters are allowed.

Players will then play three 30-minute games, Swiss-matched. Players may change their decks in between games, but must stick to the cards they brought or drafted.

Undefeated players get 2 prize packs, players that went 2-1 get 1 pack. All players may keep all the cards and dice they drafted.

New Games

  • The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade – Money is always scarce in this game where players sell coal to buy new technologies to produce better coal so that they can build buildings. A very tight complex game.

  • Flip Ships – A co-operative game to protect the planet from aliens by piloting (fliping cards) space ships.

  • Lazer Ryderz – A Tron inspired game of making paths to capture the Prisms to go to the next level. Speed is required, but the faster you go, the harder to turn.
  • Five Tribes: Whims of the Sultan – Expansion that adds a fifth player and new mechanisms to “please the Sultan”
