get the hot card. It's big in Japan, and has regular sets unique to the
terminals coming out every few months. Read more about it and let us know what you think on the store blog. |

Malifaux Demo and Multiplayer Battle
 11 AM: Open Gaming and Demos
1 PM: Malifaux Multi-player Event
The Demos and Open Gaming are open to anyone, if you have any Malifaux or just want to learn more.
The Multi-Player Battle:
Cost: $5
Factions and forces will battle for objectives which translate to prizes given out by the store. Malifaux models, accessories, and store credit are all open for the taking in this free-for-all event.
What is Malifaux? Malifaux is a Skirmish miniature game. The world consists of a Earth like world (Like ours but with
Magic) currently in the Victorian era. The Wizards of the world were
running out of magic so they performed a radical ritual that opens a
portal into a whole new world. On the other side they found a huge
empty city called Malifaux. This creates a game with a large variety of
model types without to much of the cliches of a Kitchen sink setting.

Collectors loved the cards for the amazing artwork and special features; gamers loved the strategy
and balanced complexity of a game they could play with friends, in local competitions, or at
tournaments. The Pokémon Trading Card Game continues to get better and better. Game of Thrones LCG A Game of Thrones: The Card Game is an exercise in intrigue, diplomacy, and strategy for 2-4 players, and is playable in roughly 1-2 hours. In AGoT:tCG, players take control of one of four major houses of
Westeros, and they zealously compete for power (the first player that
earns 15 "power tokens" is declared the winner). Each house's deck has
different strengths and weakness based on the themes, characters, and
locations of George R.R. Martin's epic series.

How does the game center work?
The game
center is available for open gaming from 10am until 5pm (or when our evening events start). The game center is closed to open play during our scheduled events. 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 and snacks.
Where can I find out about center events?
You can view
the calendar online here. We also post events
on several bulletin 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 are created this way.
Our only requirement is that your event be open to everyone and be related to products we sell.
