Official Friday Night Magic with Foil prize cards!

Format: Booster Draft

Draft price of $14.00. ($4 if you bring your own packs.) We put one booster pack into the prize pool for each person in the draft.

  • 1st place: Foil FNM card, 70% of prize pool (approximate)
  • 2nd place: Foil FNM card, 30% of prize pool (approximate)
  • 2 randmon door prizes of FNM foil cards

NOTE: If we have 16 or more people, we will split into 2 pods with prize split for the top 2 in each pod.

If you're not sure how to draft, come in early or on another day and we'll be happy to explain it to you.  In a nutshell - you get 3 booster packs, open your pack, pick a card, and pass it to the person next to you.  You continue picking and passing until you have 45 cards which you keep.  You build a minimum 40 card deck from the cards you selected - the store provides the basic lands (please remember to return them at the end of the night).  Then we play a small tournament to determine the winner.

We have an official Pokemon League - come join us for some Pokemon fun.

This month we are using the unlimited format - meaning you can use cards from any Pokemon set.  Bring your own 60 card deck containing any amount of basic energy cards and up to 4 copies each of any other card from any set.  (We have pre-constructed decks for sale in the store if you don't have a deck.) Play different opponents and earn points - 10 points per game with 10 bonus points if you win. Earn enough points to get prizes! This is casual / league play - it is not a sanctioned tournament and will not earn you any ratings points.  For more information on league play - please refer to the Pokemon-TCG web-site.

Entry fee: Free!!!

Prizes: Based on your point totals - the more you play, the more you get. For example at 150 points you earn a special 2-card booster pack. You don't have to get all 150 points on the same day - come back each week and keep adding to your point total.

Bring in your favourite game, or play one of the dozens of games we have open in the store.

Come alone - it's a great way to meet new people, or bring your friends. It's cheaper than going out to the movies! It's better than staying home - you don't have to clean up afterwards! Don't worry if you can't show up right at 5pm, new games start whenever we get enough interested people, and we have space for lots of games at the same time.  We sometimes start early so feel free to drop by before 5pm if you like.

This is a no charge event - yes FREE!!!

Welcome to Ancient Enemies? a Sultanate of Zeif/Duchy of Urnst BorderCon.

We will have 8 slots for you and the modules available will be 1 Intro & 5 Regionals from each region in addition to a cross-regional Interactive. Sorry, we will not provide metaregional modules.

The Surrey Days Inn is the same place that held the Western Extended Premiere Convention: Weathertop. So there will be plenty of space.

Coordinator Notice: Those that play with laptops MUST bring a clearly visable extension cord. Table muster will not take into account that you can't plug in because you are not next to a wall plug. So therefore you should also bring a paper copy of your character(s) in case that event occurs.

Far out at the oceans edge, there lies a king’s ransom in treasure… as well as sharp reefs, fog, stretches of sargasso sea, and horrible monsters. Raising your spyglass, you scan the wretched, storm tossed sea and glimpse the long lost longship you have been searching for. She will make a grand prize, once you get her off that reef. Only one thing stands in your way; all the other scallywags on the horizon who have the same idea…
