Magic Game Day

On August 13 and 14th we will be running Magic Game Day. Both events are Standard tournaments, with promo cards and a chance to win the Championship playmat.

As an experiment, we will be running these with slightly different options.

Saturday’s event will be run like FNM – $5 entry guarantees you’ll get an open pack, and you might get a random pack.

Sunday’s event is free with no pack prizes.

New things for August

The new War Pack for Conquest, and the 2015 Championship Netrunner decks arrived along with several boardgames.

  • Simon’s Cat – a simple card game for fans of the series.
  • Archer: Once you go Blackmail – a new microgame similar to Love Letter.
  • Mansions of Madness – an updated version of the horror board game that now uses an app instead of a narrator to run the game.
  • Via Nebula – explore the board to build a network to build buildings; lots of nice wood pieces.
  • Brew Crafters – a new printing of the game where you compete to make the best brewery.

Karuba

Karuba was on the short list for Spiel des Jahres 2016 (although it lost to Codenames). It is a tile laying game similar to Carcassonne – if everyone had their own city. You hack your way through the dense jungle to find the hidden temples and score points.

Restocks and new stuff

Yesterday, we restocked your fandom. Star Trek Panic, K-Wings for Star Wars, and the Firefly boardgame. Plus new Ascension and the new Game of Thrones LCG pack.

Eldritch Moon FNM

This Friday is our first FNM using Eldritch Moon!

We will be running Sealed ($30) and Draft ($15) events for the release. For the Sealed events we will be using Prerelease boxes.

Because we might run out of space, both events are capped at 20 players. If you wish to pre-pay for a seat, you can do so in-store or online.

Game of Thrones LCG event

On Saturday, July 30th, at 1 PM there is a Game of Thrones LCG Summer Tournament!

X-Wing event

This Saturday (the 23rd) at 1PM we will be hosting our X-Wing tournament. It will be a 100 point event, swiss rounds. Top player will win a set of our custom templates.

Buy a $5 gift card (or make a $5 purchase) to play.

New things

Because of July 4th, all of our shipments arrived at once this week. So, we didn’t have time for normal glamour shots.

New games this week:

  • Mysterium Hidden Signs – the first expansion for Mysterium
  • Lost in R’lyeh – a card game set in a terrible and ancient city, where Cthulhu awaits to devour you.
  • Dastardly Dirigibles – a card game to build the best Dirigible with the parts you have on hand now.
  • Star Trek Panic – Borrowing the mechanisms of Castle Panic, but now you can play as Captain Kirk and the rest of the crew.

Also this week we received our first shipment of 7th Dimension Glue! Bob Smith Industries is making this just for us!
