Do your best to block your opponents without ruining your own combinations!

Sushi not your thing? That’s alright! Our Stay & Play Library offers a large variety of games to choose from! While these games aren’t always available for a staff member to teach, they are always available to pick up and play any day that we’re open. Totally free!

This is the second week of Sushi Go!, just in case anyone missed the first! Or wants to play again. We don’t judge. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to “take-out” this game for a fun filled night, without the expense of a Sushi bill!

What are board game nights?

We at Gnome Games Appleton East are kickstarting our board game nights. One board game will be the showcase, while other similar games will be available to try out!

Magic Presents: Master the Four Elements at Gnome Games Appleton East – Last Chance!

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for a special event, Magic Presents: Master the Four Elements!

This is our final Master the Four Elements Event, which ends with the release of Lorwyn Eclipsed! This is a special event where players will buy packs, select an element, and build a deck to battle with. Each week they return, they get an additional element! Here’s how it works:

Players begin by purchasing six Magic: The Gathering | Avatar: The Last Airbender Play Boosters and selecting one of four emblems: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire! Emblems grant players unique benefits during games.  With Play Boosters in hand, players build a 40-card sealed deck to play against other opponents every week. Each week that players return, they buy one pack to bolster their decks, choose another element, and battle again! Collect all four elements to get an exclusive Foil Art Print!

Entry to this event is the purchase of the packs. The first week, you’ll buy six packs to make your deck. In following weeks, you’ll only purchase one additional pack! We’ll keep track of elements here to ensure players don’t lose their elements, and to ensure fair play!

Play starts at 5:30 every Wednesday, but players can hop in at any point in the night until we close at 9! A Wizards account is required to register. To preregister for the event on the Companion app, use this code: W2W8E52 (This only applies to January 14th!)

Magic the Gathering: Avatar Commander Party – Green Bay West

Magic PromoWill 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.”
