12/29/17 Biggest Sale of the year…Pop up sales event….
Here is a sealed and draft simulator loaded with the new cards…Draftsim
It’s not called Date Night magic for the kids. This is kids magic draft is chance for kids to play like the adults in an event with their peers, and for the parents to get a chance to go remember what it’s like to be adults again.
NOTE: Changes for Date Night:
Date night magic was designed as a way for kids to get a chance for their night out while the parents have a chance for one of their own. For kids 9-14, the Magic tournament starts at 4 and costs $25 including 3 drafted packs of Magic cards, and one prize pack of Magic cards for each of the 3 matches (2/3 games) that the kid wins, plus dinner (two slices of pizza and a drink). Dads, Mom’s, older siblings are welcome to play also (though the kids get the packs when they play against an adult…) Kids should know how to play, though they are welcome to ask questions to improve their games. Drafting is great for the kids, since it means that everyone is starting from scratch and has equal chances. Even if they don’t win, they still have all the cards they picked in the draft and a fun evening. (The place is Dad-run, so we’re real big on having fun and treating each other well.) This is a great kid friendly event in the east bay.

Hey folks-here’s the scoop.
Magic Date Night: Saturday Night….NEW START TIME OF 4;00…not 5:30….and pizza is included in new price ($25) (less external food options. Pick up is by 8:30 at the latest (I’m taking my guys to see the Avengers.)
Pokemon Roaring Skies Prerelease event is this Saturday morning May 2nd. Here’s the deal. We provide the space, but it is run by the Pokemon league folks, and as much as they would like to, they can not do preregistration for the event. They’ve been allocated stuff for about 26 players. so it will be first come, first served, with registration starting at 10:30 am. It is $30 (cash directly paid to the organizers). Each player gets 6 packs of the new stuff to make their best decks with, plays a few rounds, and gets two more bonus packs when they return their land at the end. We WILL be doing our version of this event for the release the next week, so if you can’t make it, don’t want to risk not getting in, or don’t make it before they sell out, you CAN sign up in advance for the RELEASE event the week of the 9th (I started doing this for every new set after the first time when I had to watch a small parade of teary eyed kids…the Dad in me couldn’t take it).
There WILL be standard Pokemon League side by side with this event since we have the added space…
Parent to parent happy kid tips:
This is for the Release event on the 9th….NOT FOR THE PRERLEASE on the 2nd.

D20 Games Events this week… (6/04/2013)

Starting with the release of Epic Dawn, D20 will start doing regular Yugioh Sealed Deck play. Epic Dawn is Yugioh’s first release that is dedicated to sealed deck play (decks that are made from small fixed number of packs)
We will run Battle Pack events starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday and at 12:30 on Sundays for the older crowds. We will also start doing it on Tuesdays starting at the end of June We will do so for as long as we have battle packs in stock, but please check the website calendar for the latest information.
There will be 2 formats:
The rules of sealed are that only the cards that come with the packs you open that day can be used to make your decks. No cards can be added from different sets or from any other source but the packs that were opened. The cool part of this is that a) You aren’t playing the same deck over and over again, b) Every player basically starts on an even playing field, and c) rather then buying packs just for the one or two good cards that may be found, you get to have fun with them, no matter what.
These events are similar to the sneak peeks with one major exception. The sneak peeks are for sets that weren’t designed for sealed deck play, so the decks made with them tend to either be wonderful or terrible. The new Battle packs were built for doing this, so they have many more cards that can work together well in the sets.
Prizes will vary by event, but for the kids, they will play 3 rounds with selections from the Duelist league as special prize cards for all kids involved. Bonus packs will be awarded for best sportsmanship, most interesting deck ideas, and best helping another player to learn the game. For the adults, prize packs will be either one pack per match winner for 3 rounds, or from a prize pool.
From Konomi, here are their suggested rules for the 10 pack events.
Event Rules:
1. 8 Duelists are seated in a random order.
2. Each Duelist is then given 10 sealed Battle Packs.
3. The Duelists record each card out of the packs they open on the Battle Pack: Epic Dawnchecklist.
4. The Judge for the event gathers each Duelist’s set of cards and checklist and randomly distributes them among the Duelists.
5. The Duelists verify what cards they receive with the checklist they receive.
6. The Duelists will then be given 20 minutes to look over their cards, build and sleeve their 40 card Main Deck., Should they choose to sleeve their Deck, they must do so with tournament-legal sleeves.
Once steps 1 thru 6 are completed, the Duelists then will play against their first round opponent in a best 2-out of-3 match. Play will continue in single elimination format until a winner is determined.
