JULY WEEK FOUR
|
Eventide releases this week, and what better way to get your deck in shape for the Nationals than by winning the cards you need down at Fan Boy Three! Plus, you can get in all the serious Shadowmoor block draft testing you know you crave.
For thirty quid you can play in all three release events - two sealed events and a draft - and you can use your prize boosters to offset the price of any side event drafts over the course of the weekend. That's Fan Boy value!
But that's not all! Go Skrull-crazy at the Fan Boy Three Secret Invasion Release event this Sunday and win an entire Clix brick of green skinned goodness!

JULY WEEK FIVE/AUGUST WEEK ONE
|
Welcome to the launch of the Fan Boy Three Warmachine Summer Rampage, with big Warmachine/Hordes events every two weeks until September! Grab your favourite faction and play like you’ve got a pair to dominate the continent of Immorren.
It's also the Magic and Warcraft Nationals in but a couple of weeks, and we're ramping up the pressure after getting four of Team Fanboy into the Top 8 at the Realms a few months back. If you've not qualified for the WoW Nats yet, this Saturday will be your last opportunity.
Already qualified? Why not think of this Saturday as the best deck testing session money can buy against probably the greatest number of top Warcraft players you're likely to see in one place before the Nationals!

AUGUST WEEK TWO
|
Last year we began running Midnight Prereleases for Magic. Ever since Irfan and Lammy first persuaded us to run Yugioh in the first few months after the shop opened I’ve been struck by how professional our Yugioh players are and how seriously they take their game. I want to treat you guys like I treat my Magic players, which is why we launched Midnight Sneak Peeks for our older Yugioh players not long after we launched them for Magic.
To cut a long story short, there can’t be one this time around for Duellist Genesis.
We do however have Upper Deck’s blessing to run a special Under 14’s tournament with the same top prize as our regular event - half a booster box for the winner, a quarter for second - so long as none of our players are allowed to play in both events.
Likewise, if you work Saturdays or can’t get out of bed in the morning, why not try our new early Saturday Evening Sneak Peek slot? Again, you won’t be able to play in this if you’ve played in either of the others, and the prize support here will be flatter (as there’ll be fewer rounds).
Also this week - Knights of the Old Republic! GPT Copenhagen! RPGA Living Forgotten Realms teaser adventures! Mandatory fun for all!
