BOARD & CARD GAMES

Neuroshima Hex: The Convoy
Are you ready for the Apocalypse? The Moloch have made their decision - New York must be razed to the ground, breaking the people's defense lines and ending the resistance - permanently! Now, a convoy of steel-death swarms to the east, threatening to destroy everything in its path! Unless the Outpost soldiers can stop the march of Moloch, humanity is lost! Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Neuroshima, Convoy is an asymmetric, two-player game where one player controls the convoy of powerful robots moving towards New York to turn it to ashes, and the opposing player commands the Outpost troops, seeking to slow down the convoy - and destroy it!

Castle: The Detective Card Game offers two ways to play. You can play a single game, which simulates a single episode from the show, or you can play a whole season. If you play a single episode, whoever finds the killer wins the game. If you play a season match, you play multiple games until one of the players has won three games. Do you have what it takes to make a great detective?

Legend of the Five Rings RPG: Imperial Histories 2
Housed within the Ikoma Libraries and the Temple to Tengen are the Imperial Histories, the chronicles of the Emerald Empire. Compiled over a thousand years by adept historians, studied by scholars throughout the lands of the Jade Sun, and containing the wisdom of generations, these documents are a testament to the favor of the Heavens. Their pages tell the story of an Empire that is destined for greatness. But as the candle-lights flickering flame illuminates the history of an Empire, it casts obscuring shadows as well. Dark times that were judged better left forgotten, buried deep, hidden or omitted entirely. Even in those distorted images of an Empire that never came to be, honor has always been stronger than steel. Legend of the Five Rings RPG: Imperial Histories 2 details thirteen new eras in great detail, including the Reign of the Shining Prince, the Era of the Four Winds, and the Age of Exploration, as well as bold, new, alternate settings such as the Togashi Dynasty, the Shadowed Throne, and the Empire of the Emerald Stars

It's that time of the year... the holiday all comics fans wait for is approaching!

Free Comic Book Day will take place on Saturday, May 4th from 10 AM to 7 PM! We'll have a wide assortment of comics available, and everyone will be welcome to grab three or four each, and return later in the day to grab more if they want. We want to make sure everybody gets a chance, which is why we limit the number you can grab up front.

As is our tradition, we'll also be announcing the date and guest line-up for June's All-Ages Awesomeness. We're excited as always to offer another all-ages event to follow up Free Comic Book Day each year.

MTG Dragon's Maze Pre-Release on Sunday, April 28th!

FIRST ROUND BEGINS AT NOON - SECOND ROUND BEGINS AT 3:30 - PRE-REGISTRATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Rogues Gallery will be holding two pre-release events for Magic: The Gathering's newest set, Dragon's Maze, on Sunday, April 28th! We recommend that you call or email ahead to pre-register, because we have limited space and tend to fill up well before the day of the event itself. We have room for 16 players in the first event, beginning at noon, and 16 players in the second event, beginning at 3:30 PM. If space allows, we are happy to allow players to play in both pre-release tournaments... players will have to buy-in to both tournaments, you cannot carry over cards or decks from the first pre-release into the second. In addition, of late we've had folks sign up and not show up, so if you don't get in on your preferred time, you are welcome to sign up as an alternate or to come in on the day and try to get available spaces.

Please note that while we welcome you signing up as attending on the Facebook event page, that does not count as pre-registration. You must call, email or visit the store to get on our pre-registration list.

Registration will begin at noon on July 8th. We'll begin the first event at 12:30 with 30 minutes to construct your decks, and the pre-release will run 3 rounds from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM (at the latest). Please note that if you are pre-registered, you must arrive by 12:15 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.

The second tournament will begin registration at 3:30, and the tournament will start as close to 4 PM as we can manage, with 30 minutes to construct your decks. Please note for those pre-registered, you must arrive by 3:45 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.

We will allow walk-ins for both tournaments if the space is not filled, but we encourage pre-registration, as we generally fill up fairly quickly. In addition, because there are two events, and because the second event may run later than our usual closing time, we won't be able to offer trading or casual place space after the tournaments end.

You'll choose from ten Guild Prerelease Packs, which will cost $25 (plus tax) each. Each Guild Prerelease Pack contains four Dragon's Maze booster packs, a Return to Ravnica booster pack and a guild-specific booster pack. Unlike the last few prereleases, while we will have a Prerelease promo, it won't be included inside the guild Prerelease pack, and you won't be allowed to use it in their decks during pre-release play. The guild Prerelease pack also won't include a spindown life counter, sticker, or guild welcome letter.

Prize support will be in the form of Dragon's Maze boosters.

In addition to the main Prerelease Tournament events, if space allows, we will offer Open Dueling, allowing any player who wants to play to purchase 1 Magic 2013 Intro Pack to play against each other, as well as Prerelease tournament players who are between matches.

Standard format decks can have cards from Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored, Magic 2013, Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash. Modern format is more involved, and the rules for building those decks can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/resources.aspx?x=judge/resources/sfrmodern

For April, Modern format events will be the 12th and 26th and Standard format events will be the 5th and 19th. The prize card for this month is Call of the Conclave.

Our Friday Night Magic events occasionally get full, so if you want to guarantee a spot, call head to reserve a spot anytime on Friday, and arrive by 6:45 to claim your spot or we will give it away to walk-ins or alternate sign-ups. We have an entry fee of $5 to play, which provides for prize support. Each player's fee contributes one booster to the prize pool, and those boosters will be divided between first, second and third place and a fourth random player. In addition, as long as we have them, we'll continue to give out random, prize cards from our overflowing box of promotional cards, which includes past Friday Night Magic, Game Days, Prereleases and other cards.
