Welcome to the new look Fan Boy Three Organised Play pages.
Since we opened in 2004, Fan Boy Three has been the UK's premiere destination store for organised play. We ran one thousand events in our first year alone, for ten thousand players.
(Admittedly, Fan Boy Nick played in a third of those, and thus accounted for 333 players by himself. He now works for us part time, which might tip you off as to the selection process for getting a job with us!)
Register for your own Fan Boy Card online and start playing in our in store events today.
(Unless today is of course a Monday, when we're closed!)
At Fan Boy Three we're serious about our organised play, which is why I'm writing this dressed in clown shoes an a revolving bow tie. (You wouldn't catch me wearing those to judge a tournament, that's for certain). We're also serious about making sure we spread our prize support as far down the player pool as possible, giving you more reasons to play more games (even though you might suck at all of them. Just for the record, you'll still win more by winning then you'll win by losing. Because otherwise you'd lose by winning. I'm glad we had this opportunity to straighten that out).
Fan Boy Three. Because it's not what you play, it's the way that you play it.
Game on!
Now lets take a look at what's happening in our organised play arena this month, now organised by game as well as by month for ease of use:

And don’t forget - if you really want to soak up some Italian late summer sun, Rimini will be *very* nice this time of year (and providing we get over 16 players, you’ll be £50 richer thanks to our travel bursary!) Did I mention the complimentary draft for every participant?
