Well, it’s finally here: Zendicar release week! There are still lots of great spoilers on Wizard’s web site, so I’d encourage you to check them out. All of the Fat Packs and preorder-price booster boxes are sold out! I talked to Wizards, and we’ll be able to get more boosters, but no more Fat Packs are being made. The Fat Packs are where you’re going to get some great packs of the new land, so if you find one I’d suggest you buy it.

The Launch Party this week is shaping up to be the best ever! We have about 14 people planning on coming, which is amazing for us. Brandon will be judging and running the event, and he’s pretty cool and has some great ideas for prizes. In addition, anyone who comes gets 6 boosters to play the sealed deck, 1 booster for playing, a new foil DCI card, and a shot at some great prizes! (See picture below for the DCI card.)

We’re playing Friday, October 2nd, at 6:00pm. The cost is $25 if you prepay, preregister, or $30 day of event. We’re pretty lenient with the prepay thing, and will give you until closing Thursday for the discounted price. Check back here Saturday for official results and pictures!

Launch Party!

Date: Friday, October 2nd
Time: 6:00 pm
Cost: $25 prepay, preregister
or $30 day of event

Wow, after months of promising but not delivering the long-awaited expansion to Pandemic, Z-man has finally released Pandemic: On the Brink! Even better, they released in on Friday, September 19th, but wouldn’t let the distributor ship until that day, so really it isn’t the release since no one can get it until Tuesday. Whatever, at least it’s out. Call if you need one!

In other news, the new Magic release, Zendicar, is coming up really soon. Reserve your booster boxes for $93.63 before we run out! All other preorders are 10% off, as usual.

The release party is scheduled for October 2nd at 4:00pm. We’re doing a sealed deck with some amazing prizes, so sign up soon and we’ll add you to the list! Brandon, an judge recently moved to Utah, will be running the tournament for us. Come in and have a great time! (More info soon…) In the meantime, check out some spoilers:

What a wonderful weekend, yes? The weather was beautiful, and everyone seemed happy. We closed early and went hiking with the kids.

We’ve also met some new friends at the store recently and hope they will come in a lot to play with us. Several of them are Magic players, so maybe we’ll see them tomorrow!

Speaking of Magic, the new Planechasers format came out last week. We missed the boat on the release, but I got a fortuitous call from my Wizards rep today saying he can send us a few. I’ll post an ETA as soon as I get a tracking number.

In addition, check this out for the worldwide game day for D&D: http://warhorn.net/EpicPuzzlesGames/
It should be a blast, so be sure to sign up early!

That’s it for now. Talk to you soon!
