Sushi Go

Recently we have added Sushi Go to the games library. This is really fun little game that is easy to learn and quick to play. Here is a quick outline of the game.



In the super-fast sushi card game Sushi Go!, you are eating at a sushi restaurant and trying to grab the best combination of sushi dishes as they whiz by. Score points for collecting the most sushi rolls or making a full set of sashimi. Dip your favorite nigiri in wasabi to triple its value! And once you've eaten it all, finish your meal with all the pudding you've got! But be careful which sushi you allow your friends to take; it might be just what they need to beat you!

Sushi Go! takes the card-drafting mechanism of Fairy Tale and 7 Wonders and distills it into a twenty-minute game that anyone can play. The dynamics of "draft and pass" are brought to the fore, while keeping the rules to a minimum. As you see the first few hands of cards, you must quickly assess the make-up of the round and decide which type of sushi you'll go for. Then, each turn you'll need to weigh which cards to keep and which to pass on. The different scoring combinations allow for some clever plays and nasty blocks. Round to round, you must also keep your eye on the goal of having the most pudding cards at the end of the game!



Standard Showdown

The return of Standard Showdown is on its way!!!! It all begins in the February, with out first event being February 11th. More details on this event to follow in the new year.

So to kick it off in a big way—for the first weekend of Standard Showdown, our players can get their hands on two Year of the Dragon promo cards! 

For participating players, they will get a copy of Dragonlord's Servant while supplies last. Then, for the winner of our first Standard Showdown event, a special copy of Sarkhan Unbroken.

How to play Lorcana

Disney Lorcana is a great game from Ravensburger. It has been around for a while now but is pretty new to us here at KD Games. So I though it would be worth seeing how to play it. There are some great videos available on their website and youtube channel. Here are the first few which take you through the basics.

Dino Draft

This Sunday is our first Dino Draft. 

What is a Dino Draft? 

Well its a MTG draft just a bit bigger. Instead of the normal three packs it is four!!! This extra round increases the available card pool for players by a significant margin, allowing for even more cool combos and synergies to come from deck building.

To make this event more of a challenge this Dino draft will be a chaos draft. Meaning that each of the four packs will come from a different MTG Set. For our first event we will be using Lost Caverns of Ixalan, Wilds of Eldraine, March of the Machine and Brothers War.

The event will be held in the function room of the Crown and Anchor which is next door to the shop and will start at 5pm. The entry to this event is £18 which includes entry to the Gambit Games event which is on the same day, so players are welcome to attend anytime from 9am and take part in some of the other games being played. 

In addition to opening four packs players will be a prize pack for playing and the winner will get the special foil promo pack. PLUS!!!! All players will get a promo version of 'Unclaimed Territory' and set of Ixalan stickers and a special 'Dino' pin!!!!


It should be a great event with lots of very interesting decks. To join us simply book online now ...

Christmas Tree Festival

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Its that time of year again, and for the third year we are displaying our KD Games Christmas tree in the St Mary's Christmas Tree Festival.


This year it is a brand new tree and pretty much everything on it has been made or added this year. It is a complete 'Pokemon' Tree this year and most of the work has been done by our 'Shoreham Pokemon League'

Work started earlier in the year when the children started to make decorations. They were asked to draw their favourite Pokemon on to wooden baubles...


Some even went the extra mile, making some models of Pokemon! Next we glued some spare Pokemon coins together to make some wonderful hanging ornaments that really catch the light...


Then came the huge task of cutting strips from energy cards and stapling them together to make some really bright paper chains...


After this all we need was our tree topper and some really eye catching additions that will make our tree truely unique. These were provided by Toxi. She spent days making models from recycled bubble wrap. The result of which was simple amazing, here are a few hints of what they might be, any guesses?



Shoreham Pokemon League is a community which has been building for the last 15 years and although most of the work on the tree has been done by our younger member, it has players and collectors of all ages and experiences. It offers a safe space for Pokemon fans to meet with other enthusiastic people and trade, play and talk about all things Pokemon. They have put so much effort into this year's tree, please take some time to visit the festival and if you like what we have done then please votes for our tree. 

If you do go, can you tell us how many Pokemon are featured? Come in a tell us and if your right I will give you a Pokemon Prize Pack.

So finally here is a look at the finished tree, but it is much better to see it in real life so please pop along to Shoreham this weekend. If anyone wants to find out more about our league then please visit us at KD Games, we are alway happy to talk about Pokemon!!!
