Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist Revolution Sneak PeakRevolutionize Your Deck!!!
Get ready for the Duelist Revolution Sneak Peek, your first chance to get your hands on the brand new Duelist Revolution booster packs - before they're available in most stores!
Be the first to try out new Amazoness cards, Unicorns, and Fusion Monsters, including Yusei's new 3200 ATK Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste. This set also brings you one of the most talked-about Spell Cards in years: Pot of Duality. Unicorns
stampede onto the field, with a herd of new Beast-themed monsters,
Spells, and Traps to smash through your opponent's defenses!
You can also try to get an exclusive Duelist Revolution
Game Mat. You don't have to be a skilled Duelist because we've asked
the stores to give them out randomly, so everyone has a chance! Plus
everybody gets a limited edition, Ultra Rare Scrap Archfiend
Synchro Monster (while supplies last). Be sure to show up early
because supplies of all items are limited and late-comers could get
left in the dust.
As with every set, Duelist Revolution includes
10 Bonus Cards (previously available only in Japan), plus 10 World
Premiere cards never before seen anywhere on Earth! You won't want to
miss out! $20

Dungeons & Dragons Dark Sun Game Day
 Bring your friends and join in the fun
as we celebrate the return of the beloved fan-favorite world Dark Sun, a
campaign setting of harsh survival and savage enemies in a blasted
land.

wealth of new options for your Dungeons & Dragons game to get
immersed in the world of Athas, whether you're a player or a DM.
The Lost Cistern of Aravek
A remarkable device has been discovered in the wastes near the
city-state of Tyr - a magical cistern created by a long-dead preserver
named Aravek. You are charged to journey through the harsh desert lands,
brave fierce monsters, and retrieve the cistern before your enemies can
claim it for their own cruel master. Can you bring a font of
live-giving water to a parched populace? Or will you succumb to dangers
beyond the gates of Tyr?

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.
