We always run competitive and casual side by side so everybody gets to feel comfortable and have fun. \nGishath\, Dino Big Papa\n  \nWho’s it good for: \n\nBuddies\nSweeties (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)\nParent/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)\n\nAbout Two Headed Giants \nParent & Kids playing two-headed Giant\nTwo-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.) \nEach 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. \nD20 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. 😉 \nFrequently asked Questions \nWhat is it?: Two-Headed Giant Magic Tournament. (Two players on the same team\, sharing life and playing in parallel against other teams of players) \nDo 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. \nMechanics for the new set:  URL:https://www.d20alameda.com/event/4pm-thg-ixalan-release-3/ LOCATION:D20 Games 1530 Park\, 1530 Park Street\, Alameda\, CA\, 94501\, United States CATEGORIES:Magic,Magic Events,Main Page ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.d20alameda.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Two-Headed-Giants-med.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="D20%20Games":MAILTO:info@d20alameda.com GEO:37.7660814;-122.2410054 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=D20 Games 1530 Park 1530 Park Street Alameda CA 94501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1530 Park Street:geo:-122.2410054,37.7660814 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170916T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170916T203000 DTSTAMP:20240329T062103 CREATED:20170414T074952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170912T213539Z UID:4775-1505577600-1505593800@www.d20alameda.com SUMMARY:Hour of Devastation Two-Headed Giant DESCRIPTION:Hour of Devastation Two-Headed Giant – Each player gets 3 Hours of Devastation packs and one Amonkhet booster pack to share in building their two decks. \nTon of fun and best way EVER for bringing in people who haven’t felt comfortable playing before.
