We are excited to announce that the new Secret Lair x Fallout: Beyond Vault 33 will be available from our store in April this year.
Currently we do not have a confirmed price but it is likely to be around £60. Unfortunately you will not be able to preorder this item. We will post details when the stock arrives and these will be strictly first come first served. Please be aware that these are likely to be extremely popular and we will only have a few available, so please mark the 17th April in your diary and look out for announcements closer to the time. As per the last Secret Lair release we will be announcing the stock on our Discord Channel first, so if you have not already joined then now maybe the time.
"Our territory was limited, and resources were scarce, we marched from camp to camp in pursuit of victory." —Traditional Dewan song
Dewan is a fast-paced, competitive area-placement game for 2-4 players that features racing, placement, and hand strategy. During play, you collect terrain cards and spend them to strategically place your camps on the territory. Make the best use of terrain and resources so that you can satisfy the requirements on your story tiles. Along the way, gather berries and master fire to earn additional points.
—description from the publisher
To play Dewan, you collect terrain cards and spend them to place camps on the board to complete secret objectives (Story Tiles) for points, focusing on area control, hand management, and resource collection (berries, fire) to outscore opponents by fulfilling terrain/symbol requirements on your tiles and connecting camps.
On your turn, you either take two adjacent terrain cards or place a camp by discarding matching terrain cards for each space moved, including crossing opponents' camps.
Core GameplayObjective: Be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) by completing Story Tiles and collecting resources.
Your Turn (Choose One):Take Cards: Take two adjacent terrain cards from the display and refill the row.
Place a Camp: Discard matching terrain cards to move a camp from your board onto the game map, paying one card per space (or one water card for an entire water zone).
Placing Camps:Pay cards matching the terrain type of each space you cross, including the start and end. Give an opponent the card used to cross their camp.
Placing a camp often grants a Story Tile or lets you tuck a card under your board for objectives.
Completing Story Tiles: Meet the terrain/symbol requirements (e.g., adjacent to specific symbols, in certain zones) to score points.

Our Halo Flashpoint League started last week and we currently have 6 people taking part. Players are welcome to join at any point.
Our first week scenario was Slayer and following some exciting games the standings currently look like this ...
Jake and Kevin lead the pack on 31 points but there is still a long way to go. This week the scenario will be Oddball. This is a completely different mission to the first one and players might need to have a think about the list they wish to use. Here are the details for this scenario. (to make things a little clearer I will set up two identical boards on Tuesday and take some picture before the event)
Remember that you also get points for achieving objectives but you will need to keep a track of these during the game. (If I get time I will print out some sheets to make this a little easier)
Here are a few pictures from the games during week one.
Thank you to everyone that came to one of our prereleases this weekend. The turn out was great and once again we sold out of prerelease kits. The set is beautiful and plays really well. It's great to be back in an MTG plane.
A massive thank you goes to Dan for being our judge at all three events, giving briefings and answering players queries.
Here are final standings for all three days...
FRIDAY
SATURDAY

Congratulations go to our event winners Jake, Fraser and Dan.

Or play as Sauron and send your Nazguls after Sam and Frodo, spreading your hordes over enemy cities. The fate of Middle-earth is in your hands
A game plays over 3 successive chapters that unfold similarly.
On your turn, strengthen your Skills, hoard your treasure, stretch your presence across Middle-earth,
rally Races to your cause, or advance the Quest of the Ring.

This weekend it is the prerelease for the new MTG set Lorwyn Eclipsed. This will be the first chance for players to get hold of cards for this exciting set which sees the return to one of MTG's most awaited planes.
Over the coming weeks there will be lots of opportunities to get hold of some get promo cards too, here is a list of what to look forward to.
STANDARD SHOWDOWN / FNM
Wield the magic of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor at Lorwyn Eclipsed's Standard Showdown events. Here, you can test out some new Constructed decks featuring new cards from Lorwyn Eclipsed, or you can just get some reps in with your favourite Standard creation. The winner of each Standard Showdown event will receive a traditional foil, retro frame Nowhere to Run promo card featuring art by Jodie Muir while supplies last. We combine our Showdown event with our FNM so it is also when players can get hold of the new prize packs which are awarded to the top four players each week.
LORWYN COMMANDER PARTY
The shifting landscape of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is as chaotic as it is breathtaking. Adapt to the changing duality of the plane at Lorwyn Eclipsed's Commander Party events! Here, you'll play a modified game of Commander, so bring your own decks or try out one of the Lorwyn Eclipsed preconstructed Commander decks.
You're not just battling your three opponents; you're also battling the frenetic nature of the plane. You'll start the game on Lorwyn. As the game progresses, you'll roll dice to trigger chaotic effects and shift from Lorwyn to Shadowmoor (and vice versa). When you switch to another aspect of the plane, you'll also swap to a separate hand of cards. After all, transforming into your Lorwyn or Shadowmoor self often means losing your memories.
Participants who embrace the nature of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor at Commander Party events will receive the retro frame Farhaven Elf promo card while supplies last. More details to follow on the commander party events closer the time.
STORE CHAMPIONSHIP
