Ticket to Ride

TICKET TO RIDE: STAY AT HOME A FREE PRINT & PLAY EXPANSION! 

Like millions of players around the world, Days of Wonder’s team is stuck at home during the lockdown trying to find a way to stay entertained and avoid eating six meals per day. That is why, in regard to this unexpected situation, they have worked on this very special project to allow you to have fun and evade reality without leaving your home!

Today, they are pleased to announce the online release of Ticket to Ride: Stay at Home, a new, quick and free print and play version of the well-known board game Ticket to Ride.

To download the game, please visit: https://print-and-play.asmodee.fun/ticket-to-ride/ and select your language of choice.

In this version, you will take the role of one of the four family members who compete and sometimes collaborate to complete their daily tasks in their home, which will guarantee some amazing family moments around the gaming table. Will you try to go from your bedroom to your desk for some paperwork, or would you rather take a detour by the fridge and spend some time on the balcony?

To enjoy Ticket to Ride: Stay at Home you will need a pair of scissors, some adhesive tape and a copy of one of the Ticket to Ride base games.

Ticket to Ride: Stay at Home is an expansion for 2 to 4 players and takes 20 to 40 minutes to play.

Coming soon ...

Gruffalo Dobble.

Explore the deep dark wood and see what you can spot! Between any two cards, there is always exactly one matching symbol, whether it's Mouse, Snake or the fearsome Gruffalo.

In this week

Copperajah V Box

Prepare to dish out a big beating with this massively Metal-type Pokémon, because there's no time like the present to unleash the powerful trunk of Copperajah V! In this box, you'll find the magnificent Copperderm Pokémon in two sizes: a foil card that's ready for gameplay and a cool oversize card that's great for display. There are also four additional Pokémon Trading Card Game
booster packs to add even more cards to your colletion.

Snorlax and Morpeko Pin Collection
Snorlax and Morpeko seem about as different as two Pokémon can be. Despite their differences, both Pokémon can be terrific battlers when paired with a clever Trainer. You can see for yourself when you add them to your Pokémon TCG forces with this pair of pin collections. Each set includes a bright foil promo card and a terrific pin featuring either Snorlax or Morpeko. The set even includes a trio of Pokémon TCG booster packs to add even more cards to your deck.

COLLECTIONS

For the last few weeks we have been offering sales via our website for Pokemon and Magic the Gathering items. This will increase to cover other ranges in the coming days.

When buying online there are two options for how to get your items. The first is have them delivered to your house but this will cost you extra and will take a couple of days to arrive with you. The other is to come and collect the items. Normally this would be from the shop, but these are not normal times so collection is from my house.

The reason for collecting from my house is that the shop is closed and deliveries are being delivered to me at home and it is much easier to arrange a time. Due to the current situation with Covid-19, there are a few things that we have put in place to make the collection easier and safer for everyone.

• Firstly, once you have placed your order I will message you either through Wix, Facebook or Discord and arrange a time with you when you are available to pick the stock up. This ideally will be a window of about an hour. I will try and make sure that you are the only people due to be collecting something during that window.
• I will then send you a Google Maps link to my home address so that you knw where to come.
• I will message you just before your collection window to let you know your goods are ready and send a picture showing your items for you to check.
• Next the stock will be place in a box outside my from window so that we can maintain safe social distancing.

• The box is cleaned after each collection and sprayed with antibacterial spray before new stock is added to the box. The spray is available if you wish to spray the products before handling them. Antibacterial hand gel will also be available for you to clean your hands after you have closed the box. 

 

• For security purposes there is a camera recording the box at all times, this will give me a record of people collecting their items and hopefully prevent people from tampering with the box. The recordings are deleted after collection by the correct person is confirmed.

• Please remember to bring a bag with you as you will need something to carry your good home in.
• Finally I would be grateful if you could confirm that you have picked your goods up as this will allow me to clean the box and get the next collection ready if applicable. 

Finally, although I will send a Google Maps link showing my address I have included it here to allow you to plan your pick up before you commit to purchasing anything.

If you have any questions about collecting or ordering goods for delivery please feel free to contact me, Thank you for your support and custom during this unusual time.

MTG PRE-RELEASE KITS ON SALE NOW!!!

With new, game-changing mechanics , some truly titanic creatures, a splash of three-color goodness, and even Commander decks to boot, Ikoria is a real eye-opener!

This time around, the world—our world, Earth—is in a different spot than normal, and so Prereleases are going to look a little different. But there are still ways to get in on the fun!

So, what should you expect? How can you still participate even while being socially distant? Let's run through it today!

A BEHEMOTH AMOUNT OF FUN

Prereleases have always been my favorite Magic events of the year.

Prereleases are events where it's your first chance to try out the new set—and to me, the heart and soul of the Prerelease experience is the energy of getting those cards and playing with them. And even if you're just doing that at home, you'll still be doing it with so many other people around the world as part of the global experience and conversation. Thanks to the internet, we're all connected!

The Prerelease of a set is great because the set is totally new, the footing is fairly equal as everybody plays with the set for the very first time, and you just get to relax and have fun exploring the new cards. It's a lot of fun for old and new players alike!

All right. So, let's go over perhaps the most important part: ordering product for your Prerelease! After all, you can't very well play if you don't know where to get the supplies you need.

THESE ARE ON OUR WEBSITE NOW .... https://www.kdgames.co.uk/product-page/mtg-ikoria-prerelease-kit

While most Prereleases are run as an in-store event, because of the COVID-19 virus, as a special exception, players can pick up Prerelease packs and take them home! 

And if you're not able to get to a local store for any reason, you can still play on Magic: The Gathering Arena! They have Sealed events starting April 16, and the play experience is much the same. It's a great time to try out MTG Arena if you haven't already.



WHAT DO I GET IN THE KIT?

Inside, you'll get six Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths boosters . . . plus, a random stamped rare or mythic rare card as your Prerelease foil that could be any rare or mythic rare in the set!

Then, of course, you'll get a couple other goodies—like a spindown life counter to keep track of your life total. Actually, you know what? Let's just crack one open and take a look!

Want something to do?

If you have not played Dobble then you really should, especially if you have children.

Dobble is the award-winning visual perception card game for 2-8 players aged 6 and above that can be played by anyone, regardless of age and interests.

In Dobble, players compete with each other to find the one matching symbol between two cards. Every card is unique and has only one symbol in common with any other in the deck. The match can be difficult to spot as the size and positioning of the symbols can vary on each card. Once a player finds the match, they shout it out before the other players and either take the card or place it somewhere else, depending on which of the five mini-games they are playing.

Players must have a keen eye and lightning reactions in order to be the first to spot the matching symbol. Dobble can be played by up to eight players, meaning that gameplay is always fast, hilarious and above all ridiculously fun! The deck of cards is protected inside a small circular tin to keep them safe and make Dobble the perfect travel game you can take anywhere.

We currently have two editions on our website available for delivery or collection now, the classic original game and the new Harry Potter expansion.
