Pokémon Mega Evolution: Perfect Order Prerelease at Green Bay West – $40

Pokémon Mega Evolution – Perfect Order Prerelease!

On Saturday, March 21st at 11am, take part in a Pokémon Prerelease for Mega Evolution – Perfect Order! Crack open a Build & Battle kit, craft a deck, and see how you do in a 3 round Swiss style tournament! All participants get 3 packs of Perfect Order at the end for playing in the 3 rounds! Players have 30 minutes to build their decks. Rounds are 30 minutes, best of one.

Each Build & Battle Kit contains 4 Mega Evolution – Perfect Order Booster Packs and a 40-card ready-to-play deck. These also contain one of four unique foil promo cards for Pokémon like Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Starmie ex, and Meowth ex. Discover them in the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Perfect Order expansion!

Entry is $40. Take a peek at the Pokémon Event Locator for more event details! Players must have a Play! Pokémon ID. Don’t have one? We can help set you up with one in-store! Registration can be completed at your convenience. You can also register on pokemon.com! Availability of seats is restricted to product availability.

What is a prerelease?

A prerelease is a type of event that gives players the chance to get product early. In the case of Pokémon, people can participate in events before the set comes out. Each person receives a Build & Battle kit, which consists of a random 40 card deck and 4 packs of the set. Then they battle it out in 3 rounds of a Swiss style Tournament and receive extra packs at the end for participating! Players get to keep all of the cards that they get from prereleases.

The Prerelease format allows players to compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play. This is different from the usual 60-card deck with six Prize cards. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are also a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.

Riftbound Nexus Nights at Gnome Games Appleton East – Free!

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Riftbound Nexus Nights!

Every Saturday from 3 PM to 6 PM, compete at our Riftbound Nexus Nights! These are open play casual events aimed at introducing everyone to the game and culminating a community for Riftbound. Because of limited product availability, players only need to sign in, sit down, and start playing to qualify for promos!

To participate, players will need a carde.io account and a linked Riot Account. Refer to their Riftbound website for how to set up these accounts!

Events can be located on the Riftbound event tracker.

What is Riftbound?

Riftbound is a collectable trading card game featuring a vast array of characters and locales from League of Legends. Choose a Legend and Chosen Champion card for your deck and battle it out between 2 to 4 players in various game modes! The most important card in your deck is your champion legend. This is the card you build your deck around—it determines your options for the chosen champion who starts faceup on the board and who you’ll send to fight for you, and it defines the domains (colors) of your deck’s cards.

Your legend and your chosen champion define your strategy. Maybe your plan is quick strikes, maybe it’s to build up an unstoppable huge army, or maybe it’s to use one incredibly powerful and mobile fighter. You’ll have additional units (and other champion units) to send to fight, spells to help them win, and even gear to empower your team.

For a more guided How to Play experience, take a look at the Riftbound How to Play website!
