Quarter Century Bonanza
Quarter Century Bonanza picks up where the Rarity Collection sets left off, with a bunch of new twists!
Release: 07/11/2024
"Quarter Century Bonanza packs are 5 cards per pack, like the first Rarity Collection, but we’ve replaced 1 Super Rare in every pack with a GUARANTEED luxury Secret Rare (Platinum or Quarter Century).
We’re printing this 200-card nostalgia pool because Quarter Century Secret Rares are only here during the 25th Anniversary, and we know that you have a LOT of cards that you want to see as Quarter Century Secret Rares before that chance goes away forever. The last call for Quarter Century Secret Rares is coming, so let’s kick everything into overdrive, starting right now!"
"Each Quarter Century Bonanza pack looks like this:
A) 1 Luxury Secret Rare, B) 1 Super Rare, C&D) 2 Ultra Rares, and E) Secret Rare.
We’ve never reprinted a card that has a Quarter Century Secret Rare version, in that same rarity, ever. And we’re not going to start. This has kept some cards (which have Quarter Century Secret Rare versions) out of products like Rarity Collection in the past.
We’re going to get around this by including cards in this pack that already have Quarter Century Secret Rare versions, like Super Polymerization, Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames, and Diabellstar the Black Witch – we’ll just leave them out of the Quarter Century Secret Rare pool. Cards like these will still be available in Quarter Century Bonanza as Platinum Secret Rares, “prismatic” Collector’s and Ultimate Rares, and Secret/Ultra/Super Rares!"

Bloomburrow Promo Cards
For Bloomburrow, the Buy-a-Box promo is mechanically unique and cannot be found within Bloomburrow Play Boosters.
Standard Showdown continues to be a great event. We will continue to schedule these events weekly to give players a chance to refine their Standard strategy leading up to Store Championship.
The winner each week takes home a copy of Ossification, the first of the Cowboy Bebop promos for Standard Showdown.
Commander Party (August 16 – 22 & September 6 – 12)
At Bloomburrow Commander Party, players choose a Party Card aligned with one of the ten groups of animalfolk residing in Bloomburrow and make their way around a wheel of seasons. Some seasons bring bountiful harvest and good weather, while others shake up the game board for everyone.
Players will have to work creatively using their animalfolk's special skills if they aim to win!
This time round the window for Store Championship allows us to pick the perfect moment for our community to go head-to-head in a tournament against each other for the opportunity to take home awesome promos.
Open House (September 13 – September 15)
Positioned at the end of the season, Open House is an event for new-to-Magic players to meet mentors and make friends all while preparing them to jump into the next event at your store: Prerelease!
The next Prerelease after Bloomburrow will be Duskmourn: House of Horror, what better promo to emphasize the cute-to-spooky jump players will be making in the following weeks.

Gym Leader Challenge
This Saturday we will again be running a Gym Leader Challenge
What is Gym Leader Challenge (GLC)?, well if your new to it here is the overview of the format from the website...
- Only one of each card with the same name per deck (except Basic Energy)
- No Rule Box cards or ACE SPEC cards
- Only one type (color) of Pokémon per deck
- Cards printed from Black & White–on
- No cards on the Ban List
Unlike Standard Format, the largest barrier to entry for Gym Leader Challenge isn’t the cost of the deck. In fact, most Gym Leader Challenge decks can be obtained for less money than an Elite Trainer Box! (No, seriously). The biggest barrier to entry for GLC is card knowledge. The legal card pool for GLC includes all cards from 2011’s Black and White through the most recent Pokémon TCG expansions! That’s thousands of cards to consider! "

Yu-Gi-Oh Prerelease
KD Games is hosting a Premiere! will allow you to purchase booster packs this weekend. We will be running a tournament for which prizes are available including a Promotional Ultra Rare Card, a Game Mat and Field Center Cards.
The two words that cemented Yu-Gi-Oh! as a global sensation!
The Infinite Forbidden was recently announced at the Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL MONSTERS The Legend of Duelist QUARTER CENTURY Event held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, returning the game to where it all began with a new strategy featuring the unstoppable Exodia!
By revealing all 5 pieces of Exodia from your hand or Deck, or having them on the field, you’ll be able to Summon a brand-new “Exodia” Fusion Monster! It can’t be destroyed by card effects and can add your current Life Points to its Attack Points every turn! This boost never wears off, so if your opponent somehow manages to survive Exodia’s onslaught, they’ll just face a stronger Exodia the turn after that! Through its mastery of ancient powers, this new Fusion Exodia can cancel 1 Spell or Trap activation of your choice, every turn, for free, AND it fetches an Exodia-themed Spell/Trap from your Deck each turn for YOU to use, also for free.
In Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh and his priests fought with spiritual monsters, Summoning them forth from great stone tablets to strike down their foes! The Infinite Forbidden introduces a new theme that simulates this method of combat: First you place your “tablet” monster on the field as a Spell Card. Then, you infuse it with your life force (or Life Points in this case!) to Special Summon the card to the field as a monster! Each of these Summons is a Special Summon, so you can save your Normal Summon for something else!
If giving up your Life Points to fuel these monsters isn’t your style, there’s a special new Spell Card to give you a bit of Millennium Magic of your own – just reveal it from your hand and you don’t have to pay any Life Points to Summon forth the monsters from their stones! And since revealing it doesn’t get rid of it, you can do so over and over again. This Spell is also crucial because it’s used to Summon the “Exodia” Fusion Monster!
The Infinite Forbidden contains 100 new cards in all, for a variety of strategies, new and old, including a brand-new World Premiere theme! It also continues the fun of the 25th anniversary celebration by including 25 Quarter Century Secret Rares, including 1 special card.
The Infinite Forbidden core booster set looks like this:
10 Secret Rares
14 Ultra Rares
26 Super Rares
50 Commons
(24 of these cards are also available as Quarter Century Secret Rares and 1 special card is ONLY available as a Quarter Century Secret Rare!)

Happy Birthday Kids Dreams
It's that time of year again. Its when I look back on the journey we have been on since we opened Kids Dreams our toy shop back in 2007 on 7th July.
Although we changed our trading name to KD Games in 2013 when our business rose from the ashes after our toy shop had to close, we are still and always will be Kids Dreams.
Since those early days we have traded and run events in a number of shops, markets, houses, halls and function rooms often having to change the business to fit the current economic climate. Who knows what the future holds but I know getting to this point has been both challenging and rewarding.
We have been in 5 different shops, so here they all are, I hope that many of you, like me, have some great memories of them.
