Registration will
begin at 11am, and packs will be handed out as you register. 
Registration will close at 11:45, and the sealed tournament will begin
at 12:15.  We have a limited amount of product, so this event will be
capped at 32 players.

Entry Fee: $25 

Each
player will receive 5 booster packs of the new set - Stardust
Overdrive.  We'll play a small sealed tournament (you can only use
cards from the packs that you opened), building a minimum 20 card deck,
and starting with only 4000 life points.  The top finisher will be
awarded a Stardust Overdrive game mat.

All
players will also receive a participation Ultra-Rare card, and a random
draw will be made from all entrants for another game mat, and one of 2
t-shirts.

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.

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 2-3 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).

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

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 110 points you earn a special 2-3 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).

This is your chance to see the next World of Warcraft Trading Card Game expansion before it’s officially released on November 24! Not only will you get a chance to try the new set in Limited events, but you’ll also be able to win some exciting prizes like deck boxes, playmats, Extended Art promos, and Scourgewar booster packs.  NOTE: We have a hard limit of 12 players for this event - so pre-registration is advised (call the store at 604-327-4585 to add your name to the list).

Entry Fee: $30

Registration will begin at Noon, and packs will be handed out at 1pm.

Format: Players will receive six packs of Scourgewar with which they will build a 30-card-minimum deck to use in the event. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers along with some lucky door prize winners!

Prizes

Here are some of the exciting prizes being handed out at the event.

  

Bring a Friend!:

If you have friends that would like to try the World of Warcraft TCG but haven’t had a chance to, then bring them to the Scourgewar Sneak Preview and get them started!  Each friend you bring will get a free Starter Deck, and you will receive three boosters of Scourgewar for each new player.

If your friend has never played in a sanctioned World of Warcraft event, you are both eligible for this program.  Simply inform the tournament organizer that you have brought a guest for the Bring a Friend promotion, and the organizer will give you a short form to fill out along with a new UDE membership card for your friend.  The information will be verified by UDE and the product will be shipped after the Sneak Preview to both you and your friend!

As a thank you for helping to grow our player community, you will get three Scourgewar booster packs for each friend you bring, so if you bring four new players, that’s half a Scourgewar booster box!

With the Scourgewar Sneak
Preview, each new player gets a free Starter Deck, so the time has
never been better to start playing the World of Warcraft Trading Card
Game!

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.
