Pokemon League: Every Week–Pokemon league. 😉 The Pokemon League is a great way for Pokemon players, both young and old, to come and find a bunch of other people who like to play and trade.
When is it: Saturdays at 11am-1pm (always check website…once every month or so a bigger event will need to take over the store)
Who is it good for? This one is very family friendly…good for kid as young as 7 (with parents in tow) up to full adult. The older, more experienced players get extra check marks for helping less experienced players, so it’s a great place to learn how to play.
How it works: Players get a special check card and for every set of games they play and get signed off they earn their way to fun prizes like special cards and patches. Winning and losing doesn’t matter, and in fact, when the more experienced players help the newer players learn how to play, they get extra checks for it, so they are eager to help out. We have extra decks that we can lend out to players who don’t have one or who haven’t learned how to build one yet.
What it costs: Entry fee is $5 and includes a booster pack.
No Pokemon League this week because of Magic Prerelease. Back next week.

Pirates…dinosaurs. Pirates AND Dinosaurs….there is a bunch of cool story behind this new set, but really, do we have to say more? Pirates on dinosaurs, or if they aren’t fast enough…at risk of being in them….
If you’ve been to a prerelease before, you know how much fun they are…if not…it is a great way to get cards for the new set a week before they officially come out and have a lot of fun (and maybe even win some extra packs along the way). We always run competitive and casual side by side so everybody gets to feel comfortable and have fun.
Who’s it good for:
Buddies
Sweeties (couples…either where both play, or the significant other is looking for a nice, no-pressure way to share something the other person really likes)
Parent/Kid combos (or big sibling, etc) Kids get to be the smart ones for once, and the parents get to see what this is about (and get a great date with their kid)
Two-headed giants are a team Magic the Gathering event. Teams usually comprise of buddies, parent/kid combos, and a lot of couples. Both players play together, sharing a life total, showing each other their cards, consulting with each other and playing at the same times. Because of that it is both great social fun, and probably the best way for a new player, or someone who is just curious what their buddy/kid/or SO likes so much about the game to get a chance to try without feeling any pressure to know all (or any) of the rules. Think of it like tandem skydiving…you get all the fun, without having to worry about when to pull the rip-cord.(It is particularly great for Moms or Dads who want to have a really cool date night with their kids. This event is a GREAT way for parents to figure out what this thing the kids are doing is anyway, and for the kids to get a chance to be the ones who know what is going on for a change. ;-)Because you play as a team and can help each other out, the kid gets to be the smart one for a change, and the parent gets to play without needing to worry about “doing it wrong”. Also…kids love having their mom or dad help them try and beat another team.)
Each player (head) gets a 6 pack prerelease kit and shares it with their partner to make two 40 card decks, one for each player . You’ll have plenty of cards to use to make interesting decks with that number of packs, and the cards you open are yours to keep. Teams play 3 matches against other teams (since the team starts with 30 life instead of twenty, it is a single game…they usually last anywhere from 25-50 minutes.) If you win a round, each team gets two prize packs. If you lost, you will most likely be paired up with someone else who had the same type of night, so it tends to balance itself out.
D20 tends to be a friendly place to play, and the Two-headed Giants are particularly so. We have great players who take pride in making other players feel welcome and remembering that it’s a game, its played for fun. 😉
Frequently asked Questions
What is it?: Two-Headed Giant Magic Tournament. (Two players on the same team, sharing life and playing in parallel against other teams of players)
Do I need to know what I’m doing?: Since both players play at the same time and can show each other their cards, as long as one of the two players knows what they are doing, nothing is required of the other player. It is the best, most fun way to learn the game.

The sands of Amonkhet swirl from the wind of the drumbeat wings as the greatest of dragons battles his fellow gods for the fate of those below, living, dead or something more than both. At the Hour of Devastation Prerelease…battle with or as those gods to determine who will live, die, or go to Jack in the box later as zombies. (Hey, just ’cause you’re undead doesn’t mean a shake won’t hit the spot. Besides, where else can a zombie go at 3 in the morning when everyone else is sleeping.) Welcome to the second chapter in the Egyptian-inspired desert plane, where life after death is just part of life…
Prerelease When: Events Sat at 10, Sat at 4, Sun at 10 and a two-headed Giant, Sunday at 3 pm. (Remember to sign up in advance..$30 before the event, $35 the day of the event) As always, we do competitive and casual side by side to make sure both groups have the fun they are looking for.
