years.

last about an hour and you don't need to bring anything to play.

have an hourly drawing for door prizes. Great prizes from the game

Stardust Overdrive has something for everyone. New Koafki Meiru cards
add to the collection introduced in Raging Battle and Ancient Prophecy.
The awesome Majestic Star Dragon (with 3800 Attack Points) uses
Stardust Dragon which can be found in Duelist Pack . Yusei . or The
Duelist Genesis. Stardust Overdrive also includes new Blackwing,
Fortune Ladies, Earthbound Immortals, Synchro monsters, and much more.
Sneak Peek: What is it?
A Sneak Peek is your first look inside the latest booster set. New
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's TRADING CARD GAME booster sets are released every three
months, featuring 100 brand new cards! Add these new cards to your
collection, or create a new Deck based on the featured new themes, or
add the new cards to your current Decks to make them more powerful than
ever.
At a Sneak Peek, you'll get 5 booster packs of the latest set, and
use just those cards to build a new Deck. The minimum Deck size at a
Sneak Peek is lowered to 20 cards. Since only these new cards are used,
everyone has a chance to win their Duels!
While you're having fun with your new cards, you might win a
special Ancient Prophecy Game Mat. After the Sneak Peek, you can buy
more packs of Ancient Prophecy on September 1st at stores everywhere!
For Parents
If your child is younger, shy, or just getting into Yu-Gi-Oh!, a
Sneak Peek is a good first stop. Some tournaments can be intimidating,
with highly competitive players, but these Sneak Peek events are more
casual and fun. These are some of the best events for new Duelists
since everybody has access to the same cards. If your child is nervous
about asking a stranger to Duel against, ask the store personnel to
help. Sneak Peeks are all about everyone having a good time with their
new cards.

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.
