Weekly Play involves simple, open-ended, weekly events that stores host for Star Wars: Unlimited.

This phase is supported by a special OP kit, from which you can earn a unique promo pack each week that you participate in your store’s Weekly Play.

Weekly Play at Diversions Puzzles & Games allows players to choose how they want to play Star Wars: Unlimited during the evening – casual constructed 1v1s, Twin Suns, or draft are all available for the store to run, with player consensus!

Reign of Jafar – League, Play, and Trade
Thursdays 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM, June 12-July 10
Join us for Reign of Jafar – League, Play, and Trade! This is the perfect opportunity to learn how to play Disney: Lorcana, experience the new sets cards, and improve your deck construction skills. Show up anytime before 6:00pm for constructed play, and beginning at 6:00pm you can buy in for our Weekly Starter Deck League and begin opening packs and trading, building, and playing.
Cost: Initial entry cost is $29.99 and each player will receive one starter deck of their choice from Reign of Jafar, one deck box, and one additional booster pack, all of which is yours to keep at the end of league. If you have a deck box from the previous league or want to bring your own, the cost to enter will be $22.98 – one starter deck and one booster pack.
Each week thereafter the entry fee is $11.98 and includes 2 booster packs to trade and build your deck with.
On the final week, July 10th, we will have a constructed tournament where the entry fee of $11.98 will include one pack for your deck, and one pack for the prize pool. We will begin construction right at 6:00pm and our tournament will begin at 6:30pm, 3-rounds, 2-game format.
How it Works: Sign-ups are first come first serve until league is filled (30 players maximum) – call or sign-up in store.
The first week you will use your Starter Deck and pack to build a 60-card deck using all 6 colors. All other normal constructed rules apply. Each week, you will get two additional packs to add on to your deck, or you can trade for cards you need with other players, and you will use one less color in your deck.
We will trade and build, and then play with other league players to earn prizes. Your league deck and cards will be stored at Diversions in your deck box. At the end of league, you will take home your decks, cards, deck boxes, and some fun goodies!
Additional guidelines:
-You are welcome to play constructed on league night to hone your tournament/championship decks.
-Only cards received as part of league weekly entry boosters can be added to an Official League Deck. These can be cards you opened in your pack, or cards you traded with another league member from their league pack.
-Folks who wish to join late or who miss a week can catch up by back-paying weekly entry fees.
League Rules:
-No proxies are allowed in league games.
-Cards from league packs may be traded with other players in-store. Selling or buying cards from players is prohibited for league decks.

Star Wars: Unlimited - Legends of the Force Prerelease
2025-07-05 11:00 - 15:00
Join us for our Star Wars: Unlimited Prerelease event for the new set, Legends of the Force! This event will be held on two dates: July 5 @ 11:00AM and July 10 @ 5:00PM

>>Registration & Check-In<<
Registration for this event is walk-in only on the day of the event. Arrive before the start-time to check-in. The cost of entry is $29.99. You will receive your Prerelease Kit (includes six booster packs) upon check-in for the event.

>>Format<<
This is a Sealed Play event. There will be one round of deckbuilding with your prerelease kit and three rounds of Swiss-tournament play.

What is Sealed Play?
The format of Prerelease events, sealed play combines the limited card pool aspect of draft play with the more open-ended deckbuilding approach of constructed play. Like draft play, everyone starts the event off on equal footing, and like constructed play, this format gives you the opportunity to let your deckbuilding skills shine.

At the beginning of a sealed play event, you open six booster packs. You must use the cards within those packs to build a deck. Just like in draft play, your minimum draw deck size is 30 cards, and you can include any number of copies of a card as you want (so long as they were all acquired within those six booster packs). Also like with draft, you can use any common base you want, regardless of what was in your packs. However, if you want to use a rare base, it must have been one of the cards from those six packs.

For leader cards, you typically will only be able to use the ones from your packs, just like with everything else. However, for prerelease events in which you utilize a Prerelease Box, the promo leader cards that come in that box are also available as options for your sealed deck.

Like with draft, you can change up the contents of your sealed play deck in between rounds as much as you like, so long as you only utilize the cards that were in your six booster packs.

There you have it. Sealed play is fantastic for testing your deckbuilding skills while also growing your collection. And since prerelease events for each set feature this format, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to try out sealed play for yourself each time a new set comes along!

>>Prizing<<
An equal number of booster packs and promo cards will be distributed to all players at the end of the event.

Please contact the store if you have any questions!
