Commander Party - Marvel Super Heroes

This Thursday evening we will be hosting the first MTG Super Heroes Commander Party event.

This will be part of the normal commander night that we run, as an additional fun format the players will be able to play the following additional rules.

SET UP

Before the game begins, set the Super Heroes in the middle of the table. Players may include the Super Heroes from the Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel’s Spider￾Man Commander Party as additional heroic options if they wish. 

Starting with the youngest player and going clockwise, each player chooses a Super Hero and places it in the command zone. Set the remaining Super Heroes aside. They won’t be used in this game. 

Set the Infinity Stone chart in the centre of the table where all players can see it.

SUPER HEROES

The Super Villains are vanquished and the Super Heroes have captured the Infinity Stones! It’s now time to determine the ultimate champion in a cosmically charged confrontation!

• Starting on third turn of the player who goes first, the Infinity Stones become active. From that point on, at the beginning of each player’s end step, that player rolls a six sided die to determine which Stone’s effect happens.
• Each Stone requires something to reap its reward. If you successfully follow its first instruction, an ability will trigger. Players may respond to this ability. As the ability resolves, you’ll put an infinity counter on your Super Hero and enjoy that Stone’s unique benefit.
• Careful, heroes! Vast rewards await you, but wielding the Infinity Stones carries immense risk. Once the die is cast, you must do as Stones command, whether the result is to your liking or not.

INFINITY STONES

• Super Hero cards aren’t permanents and can’t be removed, destroyed, or otherwise vanquished.
• During the game, Super Hero cards will receive infinity counters from the effects on the Infinity Stone chart. This is the only way infinity counters may be added. Other effects, such as proliferating, won’t work.
• Each Super Hero card has two abilities. The first is always active. The infinity ability becomes active once a Super Hero card has three infinity counters on it 

This is a completely free event and players can choose to either play this format or not. Anyone that does take part in this fun format will receive a promo card ...

There will be a second opportunity to play this format in August and if you want to do it twice there will be a difference card available next time.

A Tiny Tin Tale

This week we have some new titles from Bedsit Games, along with Twitten which we shared details with you last week we also have two 'Tiny Tin Tales'. These are small games that are set in the same world as Paupers Ladder. 

First up we have The Crows of Coppershell Bay. 

Prepare yourself for a tiny tin adventure set in the coastal town of Coppershell Bay. You play a lowly skinner at the local maggot farm who has 3 days to pay back their debt of 60 Gems to the local Crows gang. You’ll spend these days exploring the town trying trying to earn money, the nights resting, eating and working extra shifts at the farm. Any time between you’ll be taking on quests for the miners’ guild, venturing into the dangerous tunnels underground.

The Crows of Coppershell Bay is a game of luck pushing, coin counting, dungeon crawling and village living for 1 player. It's the first in the Tiny Tin Tales series, a collection of portable games set in the world of Brighthelm.

This is the second edition of The Crows of Coppershell Bay. For a round up of the tweaks and balances in this edition, pop over here.

Secondly we have The Siege of Shaddis Horne. 

The fairies have gone mad. Their once quaint magic threatens all of Brighthelm. The golems they created to protect the villages are now tearing them apart.

Now the little forest town of Shaddis Horne, with its elemental college, is under siege. The fairies know that without this source of magic, Brighthelm’s chemists will be dealt a severe blow. They must be stopped.

Your Hawkguard soldiers have been sent to repel the fairies and their minions, inspire the villagers and keep Shaddis Horne standing until the siege is over. It won't be easy.

The Siege of Shaddis Horne is a co-operative resource gathering tower defence game for 1-4 players, with a smattering of push-your-luck dungeon crawling to boot.

We have both of these games on Sale plus they are available in our games library for either playing in the shop for free or renting for just £2 per night.

All Hell Breaks Loose!

 

Introducing: Hellbreak™, a brand-new trading card game from Spin Master, Universal Products and Experiences and the legendary designers at Ghost Galaxy. Ferociously fun and fast-paced, Hellbreak brings the greatest horror movie monsters of all time into an epic battle to the death!

Hellbreak is slated for global launch in Fall 2026, with additional details on gameplay, artwork, character factions, and collector editions to be revealed throughout the year.

Whether you’re a horror fan, TCG nut, or just someone drawn to the shadows, this is the game you’ve been dying to play.

Here is the basic rules summary from the sample deck, it gives you a pretty good idea of the mechanics of the game. We have a copy of the basic game which we have played a few times and really enjoyed, if you would like a demo please let us know and we will arrange something.

Twittens

New from Bedsit Games, the creators of BN1 and Paupers Ladder comes Twittens

Twittens is an old Sussex word to describe the little alleyways and lanes that run between houses and fields. They thread their way through towns and suburbs like veins, walled by red bricks, garden fencing and rusted chicken wire. Elsewhere they're known as ginnels, snicks and vennels.

Twittens is a tile laying game for 1-5 players, set in an everyday English suburb. Work your way through the seasons exploring your local twittens, discovering their houses, wildlife, allotments, playgrounds, railways and electrical substations. Complete your wanderings and get home in time for tea.

Here's a quick introduction to Twittens. I take a few turns and explain how all the different elements score work together.

Magic Presents Pride Event 2026

On June 14, 2026, Magic Presents: Pride returns to KD GAMES for a celebration of Pride with a special Commander event! 

At this event, you'll play Commander against your fellow attendees. And in the spirit of Pride, every commander has partner! Craft a prismatically powerful deck or highlight your Magic OTP.

Pick any two legal commanders, pair them up, and express your Pride in a way that's unique to you! If you're looking for ideas, pair up your favorite couple from the Magic Multiverse, like Ral and Tomik or Saheeli and Huatli. Build a deck that's out of this world with Sami, Wildcat Captain and The Seriema at the helm. You can even combine two versions of your favorite character, like Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Gonti, Night Minister. This event is all about creating a deck that speaks to you, so build whatever brings you joy!

To commemorate the event, Magic Presents: Pride participants will receive a traditional foil Gilded Lotus promo card, while supplies last, featuring artwork by Merlin G.G. This illustration depicts the Gruulfriends, Chandra and Nissa, in a peaceful, tender moment. We love this promo card, and we think you will, too.
