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 110 points you earn a special 2-card booster pack. You don't have to get all 110 points on the same day - come back each week and keep adding to your point total.

League play on Sunday from approximately Noon till 3:00pm.  League play is casual - you can arrive late, get in a few games and leave early if needed.  Most players tend to show up around 1pm.  Due to other events starting on Sunday afternoon around 4pm, we ask players to make room if needed (i.e., if you are still playing when the other event is supposed to start - please allow the other game to begin).

Casual World of Warcraft TCG Night!

Format: Open Gaming, Raids, Two-Headed Ogres, constructed Gurubashi Grand Melees, Trading and other shinnanigans.

The idea: WoW is actually a lot of fun to play casually since it has a lot of fantasy elements and adventuring elements in it. In that vein We've set up an evening (with new later hours) where you can come and play for fun instead of standings. Bring down a min 60 card deck with No Epics. Theme Decks and Raid decks are definetely the way to go so bring on that Stalling/Control//Healer because Rida's Paladin could use some help.

Price: Free admittance (Sealed events not withstanding)

Check out our Forums here for more information and to meet the other players.

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. 

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

Steam Roller 3.0 tournament

In Warmachine and Hordes, the very earth shakes during fierce confrontations where six-ton constructs of tempered iron and steel slam into one another with the destructive force of a locomotive, where monstrous beasts set upon one another in a bloddy clash of tooth and fang that churns the battlefield into a seething sea of carnage, and where a tempest of arcane magics sets the battlefield ablaze with such armageddon-like proportions that even the largest run on sentence fails to capture the destruction and torment inherent in this mayhem!
