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.

Pokemon Booster Draft

Our un-official release party to celebrate Platinum: Supreme Victors

Entry: $15

Each player will receive 3 booster packs of the new set.  Players will be seated in "draft pods" of 5-8 players.  On queue each player opens one pack - picks a card - and passes the rest to the player on their left.  From the pack you are passed, you select one card and pass the remaining.  Continue until all the cards haev been picked.  Then we do the same with the second pack, but we pass to the right.  Third pack is back to the left.  After drafting, you will have 30 cards which are yours to keep.  The store will provide basic energy that you can add to your deck.  Each player makes a 40 card deck from the cards they drafted (you do not need to use all of your 30 cards).  We then play an age-bracketed tournament using 4 prize cards per game instead of 6.  

After the tournament, additional booster packs will be awarded to the winners in each age bracket.  The number of packs will depend on the number of players that we get.
