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