General restocks for the day.
Monday is President’s Day. If you have the day off, feel free to stop in and see us. We have an open box of Pamplona, and we still need someone to open our demo copy of Automobile.
Thursday night we will be running a second L5R sealed event. Everyone will get a chance to play the clan of their choosing.
Sunday we will be having the Magic Game Day, our usual prize format of a pack for all. Sunday’s buy in is mandatory.

So here it is, this year’s final rules with dates and points.
We just added more prizes!
On March 10th we will be running a Pre-Qualifier for World Wide Catan Championship. Winner will receive a free trip to Origins (in Columbus, Ohio May 30-June 3, 2012) to play in the Qualifier. Once there, they can attempt to win a trip to the Championship being held this year in Blue Bell.
$15 per player to enter. Winner will be reimbursed up to $200 for travel expense. Attendance at Origins will be paid for by Mayfair Games. Pre-registration for this event is strongly encouraged. Either leave a comment here, or stop in the store to add your name.
The tournament will start at noon and we expect it to end around 6PM.
We would appreciate players that own the game to bring out their set in case our turn-out is greater than expected.
Just before the mob arrived
Today we got in some new things including Nightfall: Coldest War and the L5R Emperor Edition Starter Decks.
We also got in a bunch of board games that fell out of print and Abacus Spiele has just republished, including Zooloretto Mini, China, Hansa, and Valdora.
We just got in Reiner Knizia’s Kingdoms along with a few restocks of things.
So far we have had 7 players earn points in the Warmachine League for War Torn Alliances. The cost is $5 to join. Special rules are posted on the Warmachine site.
Note that this Sunday we’ll be running the Domination Release Event and our Pressganger will be available to answer any questions and what not.
Saturday at noon we will be running the L5R Emperor Edition Release Event. Details TBA.
A reminder, each time you teach a board game at the store, bring the receipt for the game to the counter. If it is not listed on our blog then we’ll mark the receipt and give you a 20% discount on the next board game you buy.
Apparently, starting the Magic Draft on Wednesday at 6:30 is failing us. Starting this week, we are pushing it back to 7:00 sharp.
The Future
AEG has contacted us about a Thunderstone Advanced pre-release game day. Most likely this will be on Mar 3. Anyone that plays will get a free mini-expansion.
On March 5th we will be starting our Flames of War Escalation league. Battlefront will be releasing new rule sheets soon and we’ll post them when we get them. We still have some of the new mini-rules available for free, just bring in your old rules to get your sticker.

Yesterday we got in an order, but were a little to busy to post it.
