For our newer players or those of you with less time on your hands, at 7pm we will be running a Dungeon Delve.  A Dungeon Delve is a shorter 1.5 - 3 hour single encounter adventure. The encounters string together each week to provide a complete adventure if you can make it in each week (but don't worry if you can't).  It helps if you can bring in a character already, but we can help you build one if your not sure how (just come in a bit early).  Each month the level of the characters required changes, so call the store to book a spot and find out what level character to bring.

This is an official UDE Sanctioned Hobby League event.

Bring in your minimum 40 card deck, with at most 3 of any one card. This tournament will be "Advanced Format". Please check http://www.yugioh-card.com for a list of forbidden and limited cards. Side decks of exactly 15 cards are optional. Tournament will start approximately at 6:00pm, please try to arrive at least 30 minutes early. Standard floor rules will be followed.

Enrty Fee: $5.00

Prizes:

Participate in 3 or more Hobby League events in the month and receive a Hobby League participation parallel rare while supplies last (one per player per month).  The prize pool consists of champion or tournament packs while supplies last, or boosters of the most recent set we have in stock.  Size of the pool depends on the number of players in the event (generally 1 pack per player in the tournament).  Prize pool is split between the top 2 (9 or less people), or top 4 (10 or more people).  The winner gets at least 50% of the prize pool.

Additional prizes are given away at the last tournament of the month based on total match wins for the month (and if that is tied - number of events played will be used).  So the more often you play, the better your chance for one of these prizes.  Additional prizes may include some of the following items depending on availability: playmats, t-shirts, parallel rare cards, or booster packs.

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition

Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) Tables.  We usually have 2 tables going - one starts at 5pm and one at 6pm.  LFR games are for our more experienced D&D players.  If you're interested in playing in an LFR adventure - check out the details on the Wizards web-site.  We take sign-ups to reserve spots at these tables - so call the store to book a spot - 604-261-4588.

For our newer players or those of you with less time on your hands, at 7pm we will be running a Dungeon Delve.  A Dungeon Delve is a shorter 1.5 - 3 hour single encounter adventure. The encounters string together each week to provide a complete adventure if you can make it in each week (but don't worry if you can't).  It helps if you can bring in a character already, but we can help you build one if your not sure how (just come in a bit early).  Each month the level of the characters required changes, so call the store to book a spot and find out what level character to bring.

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).
