What is Lorcana?

Disney Lorcana is a game where you team up with your favorite Disney characters and embark on exciting adventures! In the magical realm of Lorcana, you’ll work with your team of characters in a race for prized story stars. This immersive trading card game involves collecting cards and building decks, offers fun and strategic play, and lets you play against one or more opponents.

What is the newest Lorcana set? Winterspell!

Glimmers from Disney’s Mickey’s Christmas Carol will carol their way into your decks… ghosts and all! With over 200 cards in the forecast, you’ll love experiencing the magic that arrives with this winter season.

Even though these glimmers are used to the tropical heat, they’re turning this snow day into the ultimate play day. And with the wintry winds come Angel, Reuben, Slushy, and more experiments from Disney Lilo & Stitch: The Series, ready to join the snowball fights and snowboarding runs.

You no longer need to wonder if Pocahontas and her forest friends are near. Making their realm debut, these glimmers can’t wait to explore the forests of Lorcana, now blanketed in snow. With her strength and kindness, this heroine will lead you to exciting adventures.

As a mysterious vine begins to grow in the Inklands, an Elsa glimmer attempts to stop its growth with her mystical powers. However, this inadvertently causes a winter storm to blow through the realm. In this adventure, you’ll not only happen upon this incredible Ice Artisan, but other glimmers donning crisp new looks.

These wintry conditions are perfect for these unlikely friends to embark on a new adventure. Scamper around the snowbanks with them, and you may even run into glimmers of Big Mama, Vixey, Boomer, Dinky, and the ever-caring Widow Tweed.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys Saturdays at Gnome Games Green Bay East

Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys is at Gnome Games Green Bay East on Saturdays!

The latest format for Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys has arrived at Gnome Games! We’re hosting Saturday tournaments each week at 12:00pm for this new format, with $5+tax entry. Like our Advanced Format tournaments it is Win-A-Match, Win-A-Pack, with OTS packs being up for grabs!

But what is Genesys?
A new format of play and deck building that allows for more potential cards to be used!

The Genesys rules are simple: 

    1. No Link Monsters or Pendulum Monsters are allowed. All other cards are allowed. The original field layout is used, with no Extra Monster Zones nor Pendulum Zones. 
    2. The standard Forbidden & Limited Cards list is not used. All those cards can be used, except Link Monsters and Pendulum Monsters. Usual limit of 3 copies max of any card still applies. 
    3. Deck construction uses a point system. Some cards are assigned a point value; most cards cost zero points. The total point cost of cards in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck (combined) cannot exceed the point cap for that event. 
    4.  The standard point cap is 100, but events can be run with any point cap, or even a zero-point cap! Official Tournament Stores can set their own caps for their tournaments.

Gnome Games is using the standard point cap of 100 for these tournaments. The 100 point cap is geared towards allowing players to use some otherwise Forbidden cards, but attempts to limit “First Turn Kills” that would otherwise be reliable because of their strength.

Konami developed a tool to help with deck construction in the Genesys format, available here:

There’s also a blog to help with learning this new format, as well as to keep up with changes as the point system gets adjusted!

Watch for this and other events on our calendar
