Winter 2020’s 100-card booster set heats things up with Ai’s “@Ignister” cards from the climax of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, multiple brand-new strategies, new cards for popular strategies, and powerful, general use cards that every Duelist will want to add to their arsenal!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero will hit the tables at Gnome Games Tuesday January 17
It’s time for the first Yu-Gi-Oh! release of the decade, and Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero brings some super cards to the decks. We’ll see these on January 17, but you can reserve your booster displays today at any Gnome Games store! Preorder before January 10 for special in store pricing.
What’s in the Legendary Duelists Magical Hero Set?
Yu Gi Oh! Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero features Yugi’s Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl in the ultimate magical team-up!
Duelists aiming to walk in Yugi’s footsteps and become the next master of these magicians can find a treasure trove of amazing new cards for Dark Magician Decks as well as another chance to get high-demand cards like Apprentice Illusion Magician in this 56-card booster set! Many Spell and Trap cards have featured the duo together in their art. For the first time ever Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl will be able to battle alongside one another as a single Fusion Monster: The Dark Magicians! Together, they excel in both might and magic, with 2800 ATK and the ability to draw a card when a Spell or Trap is activated.
Draw another Spell or Trap and you can Set it directly to the field and activate it that same turn if it’s a card you can normally use at that time – even if it’s your opponent’s turn! Even though it’s a Fusion Monster, destroying this one card doesn’t defeat both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl at the same time – you’ll get to Special Summon both of them to the field from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard!
The Heart of the Cards allows Yugi to get the cards he needs to Summon Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl at will, but you might want a card that guarantees you can Summon them when you need them too! Magicians’ Souls is a new effect monster that can be used from your hand to send a Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl from your Deck to the Graveyard, then Summon it back to the field.
Once you have one of the two masters of magic on the field, Magicians’ Combination is a new Trap Card that lets you Tribute your on-field Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl to Special Summon the other one from your hand or Graveyard and negate any card effect your opponent activates!
Wait there’s more?
While Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero puts Yugi front and center, he’s far from the only heroic figure whose Deck is getting an upgrade. This set marks the return of the protagonists from the first five Yu-Gi-Oh! animated series! Join your favorite heroes as they begin the next chapter with brand-new cards for their signature strategies. Regardless of which protagonist you prefer, Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero is the fan service you have been waiting for!
The complete set of Legendary Duelists: Magical Hero contains 56 cards:

The Head Gnome has a couple of surefire games winners for grandparents to give this year
It’s always tough to pick fun, engaging games to share with the grandkids during the holiday season, but I’ve got a couple of surefire winners for the younger grandkids this year.
Unicorns are cool Grandpa
First- we have a pair of Unicorn themed games that my granddaughter finds irresistible – Unicorn Glitterluck and Unicorn Glitterluck – a Party for Rosalie are both one of the games that I get asked for every time we visit “Grandpa Gnome did you bring the unicorn game?”
Unicorn Glitterluck
In a land, far, far away lived four unicorns who were the best of friends. They enjoyed galloping across the soft, billowing clouds, sliding down rainbows and playing with cloud crystals. One day, they noticed a terrible thunderstorm approaching. They thought it would be best to head directly for the sun, and collect as many cloud crystals as possible along the way to keep them safe from the storm. Players start by choosing a colored unicorn and placing their piece on the big blue rain cloud. The player who reaches the sun cloud with the most cloud crystals is the winner. A sparkling die competition for 2-4 players ages 3-99.
Unicorn Glitterluck – A Party for Rosalie
More Unicorn fun! A new unicorn, baby Rosalie, is coming to Cloudland! The unicorns Glitterluck, Stardust, Marvel Flower, and Magic Swirl want to give Rosalie a fantastic reception and throw a huge welcoming party. Help the unicorns cooperatively find all the friends, get them to the party cloud and collect all ten cloud crystals! Hurry, everything needs to be ready before baby Rosalie arrives at the surprise party. A cooperative movement and collecting game. Includes 5 cute wooden unicorns and 10 extra-large glitter stones. Quick setup and plays in about 15 min. For 2-4 players age 4-99!
Help the unicorns cooperatively find all the friends, get them to the party cloud and collect all ten cloud crystals! Hurry before baby Rosalie arrives at the surprise party.
A cooperative movement and collecting game for 2-4 players, ages 4-99. Game Time: 15 minutes.
In this cooperative game, children either win together when they beat Baby Rosalie to the party with all 10 cloud crystals, or lose together if Baby Rosalie reaches the party first.
One of the really neat things about this game is the conversation about what’s going to be at the party, why Rosalie will be sad when there aren’t enough cupcakes or friends at the party and all sorts of creative imaginative play well beyond what is on the board.
Grandpa – There be Dragons!
For grandkids that are a little older Dragons Breath is a big winner. This is the Kinderspiel Des Jahres (Kids Game of the Year) winner from 2018 and a really fun little gem collecting game.
Dragons’ Breath
The dragon children have found an unusual treasure: a column of ice with sparkling stones frozen inside it. Naturally everyone wants them.
Together with dragon dad the players remove one ice-ring after the other, and melt the ice column. This makes the sparkling stones fall down. But be careful: Only certain sparkling stones can be collected. Who will have the most sparkling stones at the end?
2-4 Players
Ages 5-99
15 mins
Grandparents that are race fans – Monza is a racing game you can play with the grandkids!
Fast cars are always more fun when grandpa and grandma are along for the ride and Monza allows us to play with up to 6 of the grandkids at a time! Plus this one really encourages tactical thinking as part of the game play.
Monza –
Monza helps the players to learn tactical thinking and recognize name colors, but don’t think it’s just for the wee-ones. Even those hard core dirt track racers have to think a bit to bring their car to the checkered flag first.
Monza is a car racing game which encourages tactical thinking for 2 to 6 clever players ages 5 to 99.
Six racing cars are standing on the starting grid, prepared for the big race. But only the player who gets the right colors with the dice and makes clever combinations will be able to move rapidly ahead. Who will make clever combinations and thus use as many colors as thrown with the dice in order to get his or her racing car over the finishing line first?
Monza is a= clever but simple children’s game that combines color recognition and “thinking ahead” skills.
It plays in just 5-10 minutes and takes its name from the Italian city known for its Formula One Grand Prix racing circuit.
Need more great games for under the tree for the grandkids? Stop in and let the Head Gnome, Miss Gnomer or any of the Gnome Games staff guide you to the perfect gift.
