BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS

Bad news: Some of U might have noticed we dropped our annual customer appreciation day off the calendar of events. This is only being postponed until August. The reason for this is…

Good News: WE WILL BE OPENING A NEW LOCATION IN DIXON, IL, BY THE END OF THE MONTH!! Because U demanded it, New Game in Town will be opening New Game West in Dixon, IL, 118 N. Peoria Ave, directly across the street from the high school. We will be open for FNM on Fri, May 31!!! Sat, June 1, will be our grand opening, with tournaments and sales all day long!! We will also be having MULTIPLE Modern Masters events in June at the new location as well. New Game West should have its own Facebook page up & running in the next week or so as well.

As a bonus, Wizards of the Coast itself called me with some high praises for our DeKalb store!! With this and other possible new opportunities on the horizon, who knows what comes next!

Seriously, we cannot thank U all enough for the level of success we are enjoying. It is absolutely because of all of U that we are where we are today. We (i) know that U have many other choices throughout the area to meet your gaming/comic book needs, and we are honored and humbled that U choose us!! We promise to continue serving U in the best and most respectful way we can and will certainly share the benefits or our continued growth with all of U!

HOLIDAY CLOSING

We will be closed for Easter Sunday (tomorrow).

New & improved official updated rulings for Saturday’s Tourney.

Infect damage is now set to 15, able to stack from multiple sources.

Alternate win conditions only effect those within the sphere of influence, triggers to win such as laboratory maniac will trigger, allowing the player to beat the two opponents next to them, but will require another trigger after the collapsing of the field of influence (i.e. the passing of the turn) before such winning can occur again, giving others a chance to respond & ‘break the chain’ before the win condition can trigger multiple times.

Rather than stopping infinite loops:
An infinite loop with a trigger that cannot be removed from the stack will result in a draw for all players in the sphere of influence (removing them from the game), thus infinite triggers remove the players who triggered them from the game, so people probably don’t want to play infinite combos (heheh).

NO EXTRA TURNS.

The following previously established rules still apply…

General rules
1) Field of influence of 1 away (adjacent players…unless there are
enough players for a range of 2 to be appropriate)
2) Players can only play spells if they are in the field of influence
of the active player.

Game-specific rules
1) Turn time limit of 5 minutes (EOT effects on the previous
person’s turn by the next person in turn order count towards that player’s 5-minute turn limit).
2) If a player dies, the field of influence does not shrink to include
the next player in line until the current turn is passed.

Any other questions should be directed towards Judge Greg Havlik, currently at the shop (815/517-0003) & presiding over said tourney.

EDH/COMMANDER GRAND MELEE ADDITIONAL RULES

Finally, the highly anticipated & thoroughly thought-out additional rules for this weekend’s Grand Melee EDH/Commander tourney:

$5 entry
Each player receives a pack for each person they take out…last person standing gets additional prizes tbd by attendance.

General rules
1) Field of influence of 1 away (adjacent players…unless there are
enough players for a range of 2 to be appropriate)
2) Players can only play spells if they are in the field of influence
of the active player.

Game-specific rules
1) Players cannot take more than one additional turn per round
(no multiple extra turns).
2) Infinite combos stop at/only happen 3 times.
3) Turn time limit of 5 minutes (EOT effects on the previous
person’s turn by the next person in turn order & extra turns
count towards that player’s 5-minute turn limit).
4) If a player dies, the field of influence does not shrink to include
the next player in line until the current turn is passed.

This is gonna be a blast!! U don’t want to miss it! We will also be having some type of EDH/Commander organized play from now on every Saturday we aren’t having a major tournament (pre-releases, gamedays, GPTs, etc…). Contact Greg Havlik for further details.

For those of U not interested in EDH/Commander or Magic the Gathering & might prefer RPGs, we will also be hosting our final Dungeons & Dragons Lair Assault this Sat in honor of International Tabletop Gameday. Come in by 1pm and sign up with DM Extraordinaire Brad Bound.
