ATTENTION MADISON AREA PLAYERS! THE DARK EXPLORERS PRERELEASE is coming! Sunday May 6th, 2012 at Pegasus Games Fun starts at 1pm! How much does it cost? $25 (over $35 value!) *see details below!
Contact me to reserve your seat! Plus...
EMAIL me or call me (Camille 608-322-0549) to Preregister - Here are the details! - Dark Explorers Prerelease -
- Main event - Cost: $25 - Each player will receive 6 booster packs of the new set (to keep) and may start opening their packs when we tell everyone to go. Players will each build their own 40 card deck to play (using only those cards from the 6 packs, no trading cards with others until after the Tourney) and will also decide how many energies they will want to include in their decks (basic energies are provided at the event). Everyone will then have 30 minutes to build their decks, using only the cards from the packs they received. That totally levels the playing field... because from the best player around to the newest youngster there, everyone has an equal chance at this tourney because you never know what cards you'll get in your packs! That's what makes it so fun! And don't worry, it's not really that hard to build your own deck... generally there aren't a whole lot of trainers in a set, so you'll usually want to include as many of them that will be helpful as you can. You want to make sure you have as many basic Pokemon as you can, and include any evolutions that you might have been lucky enough to get as well. Try to keep your deck to 2 or 3 types, like Fire and Electric or whichever, because that will be helpful to you in drawing the particular energies you need for your Pokemon's attacks. Of course Colorless type Pokemon can fit nicely into any type of deck since they can use any type of energy you happen to have. Since your deck needs to be 40 cards in total, a relatively simple rule of thumb would be 20 energies and 20 in any combination of basics, their evolutions (if you got any), and trainers. Then, just decide how many of which type of energies you'll need to get by looking over the energy requirements for your Pokemon's attacks. And that's pretty much all there is to it! Remember, it's a tournament for fun, so don't stress over building 'the perfect deck'...
Prizes:ALL participants who finish will receive 2 more Dark Explorers prize packs at the end of the tourney ******************************************** - Theme Deck Challenge - This special tourney will be separate from the main event and follows a much more casual format. Great for younger players, parents, or those who may not be as familiar with deck building on their own, but would still like to participate. If you don't know how to play, we can teach you! Each player will choose one of 2 different Dark Explorers Theme Decks to use to battle others who also choose the Theme Deck Challenge, and the nice thing about playing the Theme Deck Challenge is that each Theme Deck also comes with an instructional playmat, a special coin, and your own damage counters, all very useful tools for the newer players. And all participants in this Theme Deck Challenge will ALSO receive 4 more Dark Explorers prize packs for participating in the tourney, in addition to the decks they played. ******************************************** Want to get some extra booster packs? Bring in your friends, neighbors, parents... for every new person you bring in to play the Main Event I'll give you a bonus pack! Let's face it, Pokemon is a GREAT game, we ALL love it, and it's MORE fun the more people who play! This is going to be a VERY exciting new set and this is the very first day it's available too! You won't want to miss it!! 'Support the Store' Raffle - As a thank you to Pegasus Games for hosting our event, I'd like to encourage our players to purchase items from their store. Show me your receipt for items that you purchase there at the Prerelease, and I'll give you a Raffle ticket. Spend $5 or more and I'll give you an extra raffle ticket for each extra $5 you spend! The more you spend in the store, the more chances you get! After all the main rounds are finished, I'll draw a lucky number to win 3 booster packs. Door Prizes - Of course , we'll have LOTS of random pack giveaways throughout the day! I also have some really cool door prizes to give out... besides packs, posters and such, I'll give out a free Pass to our next Prerelease worth $25. You can be sure we'll have a good time!
************************************************************************ By the way..... Check these out!! ... Be sure to come to the Prerelease so you can get to see what's inside before they even go How/when can I pay for the event? You can pay on the day of the event by cash or check (made out to Camille Peltier-Robson) or you may pay in advance with Credit Card by Paypal if you wish ************************************************************************ Also... if you want to come and play, but can't afford it, I have an option for you... I have a Sponsor Program... So, in a nutshell, they pay your entry fee and will get the cards, promo item and promo card, but you get the fun of actually being able to still participate in the tourney and seeing all the new cards. Plus you'll get a booster pack for helping out. It's a win-win situation for those players who either can't make it to the event, or for those who can't afford to come to it otherwise.
