Two-Headed Giant (noun): aka “2HG” 1. Weird looking claymation monster that tried and failed to kill Jason and the Argonauts. 2. Ultra-cool, amazing, incredible, fantastic, uncanny (you get the picture) format, where two players work as a team to defeat two other players working as a team. Each team of two players share 30 and have communal phases- which means they untap at the same time, draw at the same time and attack at the same time.

 Haven’t tried 2HG? The best time to play in this format is at a Pre-Release and just as luck would have it- we’re having two Pre-Releases and two 2HG events! 2HG starts at 10 AM on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 10 AM and on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 10 AM! Make sure you sign up early!

$50 per team to enter. Each team receives 8 packs (4 Worldwake and 4 Zendikar) and must make two decks of minimum 40 cards each.

 Please feel free to call if you have any questions!

Whether you play Role-playing, card, video or miniatures games- you gotta appreciate a great looking game piece!

Sunday, November 29, 2009 at 1 PM we participated in a “Warmachine” Demo hosted by Adriaan Reynolds! “Warmachine” is a miniatures battle game made by Privateer Press. In it, you can play several different factions, anything from the Russian themed Khador to the slightly-undead Cryx army! The game itself plays quickly and intuitively- even I was able to understand some of the basics of the game.

Special thanks to Adriaan, Graham and Joe for hosting an increidble event! Check out some of the other pictures!

If you want to see some of the other pictures, please send me a friend request on FaceBook! My e-mail is thground@telusplanet.net

Although White-Wolf’s vampires don’t sparkle like the ones in “Twilight“, I dare say they’re just as dangerous and compelling!

Enter the “World Of Darkness“, a game setting- this time around in card game format, where players battle each other to gain “Pool” (which equates to power, money, respect, you name it!) and to destroy their opponents in an intricate of political assassinations and outright vicious physical combat!

Easily VTES is the best multiplayer card game on the market- bar none! In fact, the game was designed to be multiplayer by Magic: The Gathering god, Richard Garfield!

Come out and check out the game! If you’re interested, you can meet with Roy at anytime and I can show you how to play the basic game.
