A Game of Thrones CaliCon III
 Over the years
CaliCon has evolved from a small gathering of friends/AGoT players to a
large scale tournament boasting 20+ players from all over the state
including world class talent like 2005 World Champion, John Bruno and
local KublaCon legend, Kevin Yin. Both previous years the coveted
CaliCon Cup, the first place prize, has been claimed by Mr. Bruno, but
with his recent withdrawal from the AGoT scene, this years Cup will be
graced with a new champion's name.
CaliCon is a wonderful event for all levels of players, from beginner
to advanced to Kevin (who quite frankly is in a league of his own). We
encourage casual, friendly tournament play while offering that
competitive edge every card player desires.

stats, and how-to instructions. Just bring your imagination, a pencil
or pen, and some dice! Just for playing, you'll take home the pregenerated character sheet and

How does the game center work?
The game
center is always open during business hours. You can use the game center to
play hobby games, at no charge. Occasionally, there are special events that
require an entry fee, but the money is usually used as prize support for the event. The
game center is intended as a community center, as opposed to a profit center
for the store. By supporting the community, our community supports us back by
buying our games.
Where can I find out about center events?
You can view
the calendar online here. We also post events
on several boards in the store, including a friend finder bulletin board where
you can post requests for fellow gamers. You are strongly encouraged to create
your own events for in-store play. If you don't see one you're interested in,
consider proposing one to a staff member. Most of our events evolve this way.
Our only requirement is that your event be open to everyone and be related to products we sell.
