Pokemon Pre-release

The new set of Pokemon Cards goes on sale next weekend and that means that this weekend it is Pre-release weekend.

We will be running two events, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, both will start at 11am. It will cost £20 to play and spaces are limited to just 8 per event.

What is a Pre-release?

Of course if your quite new to Pokemon, you may not know what a pre-release is, so here is a very quick run down of what you get and what happens.

First thing that happens is that you get given a pre-release box...

Once you open that box you will find a small pack of 24 non random pokemon cards, which includes useful trainer cards and one of four different promo cards. This pack will likely be the main part of the deck that you will eventually construct. You will also find four boosters from the new set which is currently unavailable in the UK until next week!

Once you have got over the excitement of all the great new cards you will sort them out and choose enough to make a 40 card deck. 

You may be thinking, hold on, what about energy cards, well the good new is, that we have plenty of energy for you to add to your cards to make the deck function. (which you also get to keep)

When everyone is ready it will be time to play. There will be three games to play against different people and at the end we will have a winner for the day.

Regardless of how well you did in your games, everyone will get a booster from the new set as a prize, and obviously you will get to keep everything you have opened. The winner will get an additional booster as a special prize!

After that it will be time to go home, but not before you have had a chance to trade with your firends at the event.

Our first FNM at the new shop

Tonight at 7pm, we will be running our very first FNM event at our new store on the High Street in Shoreham.

What better way to get things started then by running a STANDARD event. Entry is usual cost just £3 and for that you are guaranteed a booster at the end. The top four will get a special promo booster as well, with the winner also getting a second normal booster.

Rounds are set to last 50 minutes and will be best of three and there will be a minimum of 3 rounds and a maximum of 4 depending on ho many players we get. Our capacity is 18 players so please confirm attendance on our Facebook event page to guarantee your place.

Where are we going?

There is now less than a week before we open the doors at our new shop on Shoreham High Street, so I thought I would post a picture showing just how close it is to our previous location...

The cheapest parking (other than street parking) is probably still in Tarmount Lane car park and the shop is less than a five minute walk from there.

The Heroic Evolution

This weekend there will be a Card Fight Vanguard Sneak Peak for anyone that is interested. Venue will be the shop and it will be on Sunday at 1pm. Please let us know if you are planning to attend as if there is not enough interest the event will be cancelled.

Time for a change

At the weekend I post to say that KD Games is now into its 13th year of trading. During that time we have traded in 5 different shop locations in Hove and Shoreham. I also post a picture of some keys which obviously means we are now about to add a sixth to the list. On Saturday 20th July we will be moving from Tarmount Lane and heading back to the High Street...

It is on the south side next to the barbers opposite the Co-op. It looks a little shabby at the moment but hopefully we will have it looking better very soon.

I will be moving stock slowly over the coming days so please bear with us if during the transition.

Our clubs and events should still be happening as planned and next week and will be the last ones in number 8. We have really enjoyed our time in Tarmount Lane and have many happy memories, to be honest if there was not for the fact that it is likely to be pulled down in the not to distant future we would probably be staying. The new venue is smaller, but I am hopefully we will still have the same number of seats and tables. More details on the new shop will be posted in the coming days

Please come and join us next week and help us say goodbye to an old friend.

Summer Games

Towards the end of next week we should be getting restocks of some popular summer games. These games are particularly good to take away with you to make travelling a little more fun.

We will of course have some demo copies of these games available, so that we can teach you how to play and there may even be some special event with prizes of the coming weeks.

Happy Birthday

Today KD Games (formally known as Kids Dreams) is 12 years old.

During that time we have served thousands of customers, run hundreds of events and sold more boosters than I can count.

We started in Boundary Road in Hove as a toy shop in 2007 and gradually evolved in to the games store we are today.

I would like to thank all of our customers for your continuing support and giving us such great memories. We look forward to many more years to come.

Warcradle Scenic

From mid July we will be able to special order lines from the Warcradle Scenics range. There is a wide variety of MDF scenery available that is easy to build and paint and improves the look of your battlefields. Details to follow later in the month.

Water at KD Games

We have for a while now been providing free drinking water for our players and will continue to do so, but from this week we will no longer be providing disposable plastic cups.

We will happily refill any container that you choose to bring with you. We recommend a drinking bottle with a sports cap or similar as this prevents any accidents whilst playing.

We hope that players understand that we need to make this change as we can no longer justify the amount of single use plastic that we are throwing away.

The Army Painter

For the first time since we moved from our Kids Dreams high street location back in 2013, we will start stocking accessories and paint from The Army Painter.

We will initially be starting with some basic tools such as paint brushes, a few basic colours and the ever popular super glues and plastic glues as well as everyone favourite green stuff!

Unlike when we previously stocked the range we will be able to order much smaller quantities with a very quick delivery time. This will mean that if customers want something from the range we can check availability instantly and get it within a couple of days.

More details to follow once our first lines come in later this month.

The London Mulligan

Force of Will League

The first round of our Force of Will League is over here is a quick overview of the scores...

1 point for every game you win.
1 point for winning the match.

So the results after round one are:

Gary - 10 points
Vince - 10 points
Kevin - 7 points
Chris - 3 points
Stuart - 0 points

Winner gets the playmat, if joint winners then a best of 3 play off. If there are more than 2 joint winners then it will be a best of one multi player.
