Gambit Sunday

Today we are at Gambit Games in Worthing. They are one of the oldest wargaming clubs in the area and now meet in East Worthing Community Centre on the last Sunday of each month. They offer a full day of gaming for just £5. (9am until 5pm).

So far today we have had some AOS, Bolt Action and Dungeon Bowl.

They have lots of great scenery and player that are always happy to show new people how to play. To find out more about this great club then find them on Facebook or pop into the shop and I will be happy to tell you all about them and the games that they play.

Pokemon Club is changing

 

From December 1st, the club will have two parts to it. The first part is the general Pokemon club which will still cost £2 to attend and children aged 8 and over will be able to come along and meet with other children that share an interest in Pokemon. It will be an opportunity for them to trade cards in a safe place where we can check the value of cards, look out for fakes and always have the opportunity to trade back during the club if they change their minds. We can teach how to play the game if they want to and and from time to time we will run some competitions to give them a chance to win prize packs.

Pokemon League will be part of the club, which is for those children that want to play the game against their friends. We have plenty of decks that can be used if you haven't got a deck of your own and are happy to help children that want to build their own decks. Each time the children attend and play at least one game they will progress towards getting a free prize pack. 

There will be a chart on display in the shop and our website that will track how many games have been played for each season. Once a player has played their fourth game they will get a prize pack and then another one when they play their eighth game. (while stock lasts)

There will also be the chance to take part in some tournaments called League Challenges and League Cups which will be starting in the new year.

Our Masters League which is for older players (15+) will continue to run on Friday evenings from 7pm until 10pm and will give older players the chance to play against each other. Players in the this league will get a free prize pack for every event that they attend.

Commander Nights

With the new MTG set Brothers War releasing this weekend, it means that we will have a new set of achievements for our Thursday Commander Nights.

Starting from this week there will be 10 new things for you to try and do whilst playing games of commander. These will be themed on the new set and will require a bit of effort and possibly a new deck. They are just for fun but if you get 5 or more you will get a promo 'Thought Vessel' promo card.

There are also some optional special rules which you may want to consider as well.

Our commander nights are free to attend and start at 7pm every Thursday evening. You don't even need a deck as we have some that we can lend you. 

Exploding Kittens

Today we a have a video from the creators of Exploding Kittens. It gives a very quick overview of the game. 

Exploding Kittens is a really simple fun game to play. It is easy to learn but there is definitely some strategy needed to win. It is a great game to play with adults and children alike and will make an excellent gift for birthdays, Christmas, etc
