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.
See www.warhorn.net for details.
Pokemon League Play
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.
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…
Join us on June 3rd for a special Pirates event. Details on this tournament can be found here.

Format: Constructed deck
There are only a few rules you need to follow when building your deck:
â‚ Your deck must include at least 60 cards, not counting your starting hero. Your hero starts the game in play, and it isn’t considered a part of your deck.
â‚ You can’t include more than four copies of a single card in your deck unless that card has “unlimited” in its type line. You may include any number of unlimited cards in your deck.
Looking for a convenient place to play? Book a table at The Connection on Saturday night - no charge (first come first serve basis, and we reserve the right to refuse service to unruly and/or hygene impaired gamers )
Are you a GM/DM looking for players? We'll advertise your game in-store and on our web-site if you like - just send me a blurb about your game - please include:
- A description of the game to be played - system and scenario.
- Expected duration of the campaign (one night session, infinite, somewhere in the middle, ...)
- A little bio of yourself including your gaming experience (why are you the best GM ever )
- What type of gamers and how many gamers are you looking for?
Tables are available starting around 5:30pm (as soon as the World of Warcraft crowd makes space).
Pokemon League Play
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.
Magic the Gathering - Block Constructed "Money" Tournament

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.

Vs. System Hobby League Event
This is a sanctioned UDE Event.
Vs. is a collectible card game that uses the Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse comic universes as the premise. Players build decks of super-heroes and/or villains and compete for fun and prizes.
If you are not familiar with Vs., come in a bit early or on another day and we'd be happy to go over it with you.
Format: Booster Draft - each player receives 3 booster packs, players pick cards and pass packs, and then build a minimum 30 card deck for the tournament. You keep all the cards you draft.
Entry fee: $15.
Prizes for 1st through 4th place - extended art foil cards. Additional booster packs for the top 2 (approximately 70% / 30% split of the prize pool). Size of the prize pool depends on the number of players.
Sign-up online and we'll send you a reminder e-mail the day before the event.
See the Meetup.com Vancouver Boardgame Group site for additional info.
The games we play depend on what everyone brings. Sometimes we play Ticket to Ride, Scattergories, Settlers of Catan, Apples to Apples, Boggle, Pictionary, etc. If there is a game that you would like to play let it be known and we'll see if someone can bring it. Also if you have a great game to share we're always excited to try it out.
Come on out and relax, eat a great meal and have some fun! We usually eat around six and begin playing at around seven. Me'n'Eds has great pizza & pasta. Tuesday Special: Any large 2 topping pizza for $16.95.
Located 1 block west of Edmonds and behind the McDonald's on Kingsway. Lots of parking. If you travel via transit take the bus '129 Metrotown' or '106 Metrotown' from Edmonds skytrain station.
The event fee covers the month. If you attend multiple boardgame meetups in a month you need not pay it each time.
