Learn to Play Fountains with Gnome Games! Wednesday, December 10th at 7pm, one of the Gnomes will be helping players learn to play the quick and fun card game Trio!
This is a Free event! Seating is limited, but we’re looking to help introduce more players to great games every Wednesday during our Board Game night!
We’ll go over the basics of the game and then jump into playing the game with the Gnome community!

Welcome Magic Players! Gnome Games and Wizards of the Coast invite you to play in a special Turbo Tower event!
Monday, December 15th at 6pm! Event Code: YE2R63J
The Rules
Each player begins the game with a Command Tower promo card on the battlefield. This promo card isn’t counted as part of their deck; their deck still needs to include 100 cards, and it can include another copy of the Command Tower card if they wish.
At the end of the game, each player gets to keep their Commander Tower promo card! (While supplies last!)

Will you become the next Avatar? The Commander Party for Avatar: The Last Air Bender gives you a chance!
Monday, January 12th at 6pm we invite players to play together with the Avatar Commander Party set of rules!
Eventcode: DWRM587
Each player who joins in will get a promo Gran-Gran! (While supplies last.)
GAMEPLAY: The play aid has four sections, one for each of the four bending elements. At the beginning of the first player’s third turn, each player puts their
marker on the element closest to them. Whenever a player meets the conditions on their element, they master that element and advance their marker clockwise to the next element. If a player would master an element they already mastered this game, they enter the avatar state instead.
For more information on the Commander Format visit https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats/commander
“This format is for four players per game and deck sizes are 99 cards + 1 commander card. The game duration for this format should be about 20 minutes per player.
The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic’s history.”
