Pokemon Darkness Ablaze Prerelease

This Saturday we will be running our very first event in store since March.

We will be hosting two four player events for the release of the new Pokemon set Darkness Ablaze.

These events will be at 1:30pm and 4:00pm and will last for 2 hours. The event must be booked online through our website and entry must be paid in full. Space is limited to 4 per event and will be strickly first come first served. (If there is enough interest we may be able to run two further events on the following weekend.

As things have changed greatly since March, it is important that you take time to read through the notes below that outline how this event will be organised:

• Players should arrive no earlier that 5 mins before the beginning of the event. (Please be aware that you may have to wait outside if there are customers in the shop)
• Players should not bring bags or unnecessary items in to the event with them. (you are welcome to ring a drink in with you or an empty bottle for water which will be available)
• Once players have arrived they will be asked to enter the playing room and sit at one of the two tables (your place will be marked with your name)
• Only the person playing is permitted to be in the gaming room and there is no space in the shop for people to wait for players to finish.
• Once you are seated, please remain in your seat unless you are asked to move or it is absolutely necessary.
• Whilst in the shop (including the playing room) ALL players must wear a face covering.
• Your packs will be ready for you at your table and will have been sprayed with antibacterial spray (30 minutes before you arrive). Every player will have 4 booster packs and an evolution pack to make a deck from and you will have 30 minutes to get ready to play your first game.
• The will be a pack of 10 energy from each type ready at every players table which you will take with you when the event finishes (you will be able to ask for more if needed)
• When the event starts you will be able to open your packs, all rubbish should be thrown into the bin located next to your table.
• Players are not permitted to touch other players belongings or newly open cards at any time.
• If you need to have a break, you may take these outside the shop where you will be able to remove you mask.
• There will be up to three single game matches played, which will last no longer than 30 minutes.
• At the end of the first game, please remain seated until the other players have finished. YOu will then be instructed on what to do for the next match.

The rules are obviously much more strict than they were before Covid-19 and I hope that you understand the need for these measures. If you wish to discuss them before booking a space, then please contact me.

We hope that all players will still be able to fully enjoy the event and that it will be the first of many to come.
