We will be hosting a learn and play for the game Zangle, areas for building with Plus Plus, Tinkering with Off Bits, a coloring book station, as well as open tables to learn and play other fun games. Chits & Bits will be there to raffle off merchandise and gift cards tor raise money for The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital! This puzzle competition will pit teams of two against other teams to complete a 500-piece Ravensburger puzzle with the fastest time. However, there’s a catch: no teams will have knowledge of the image that is being used – you have to complete the puzzle without an image for reference! Prizes will be awarded to the first, second, and third place teams, based on the fastest times for completing the puzzle. All of the prizes are being provided by Ravensburger!
Registration begins at 9:00am when the store opens. The event begins at 12:00pm. Prereleases are Sealed Deck format events, where you build a minimum 40-card deck using the contents of a themed Prerelease Pack (6 booster packs) and a Premium date-stamped promo card) plus basic lands that are provided to you by the store. After your deck is built, you’ll be randomly paired with another player for a best two-of-three match. Each round you’ll report who won and be paired up with a new player. If you do well, you might win additional booster packs as prizes! Pre-release packs cost $25.99. Each person may only purchase one pre-release pack for use during the event only. All event participants will receive at least one free booster during prizing! |
