Sideboard

Gladstone, Missouri. Sixteen tables, seven days, and the whole schedule printed where you can read it before you leave the house.

Week of 3 August Doors 11am daily, 10am Saturday. Last table goes down thirty minutes before close. Everything below is walk-up unless it says otherwise.

Mon 4 Aug

Shut. The only day the shop is dark, and the day the singles get sorted, so Tuesday is the best day to ask for a card we did not have on Saturday.

Tue 5 Aug

4:00 Learn to play Any game, no experience, borrowed decks. Somebody sits with you the whole time. Mostly teenagers and parents. Free

6:30 Modern Four rounds, Swiss. The most competitive night of the week and the one to skip if you are new. $10

Wed 6 Aug

5:00 Pokemon league Under 15s at the front tables, open age at the back. Promo card while they last. $3

7:00 Board game night Off the shelf, nothing to bring, nothing to buy. Around thirty people and a lot of first-timers. Free

Thu 7 Aug

6:30 Commander Casual pods of four. No deck check, no power level argument, no prize. Turn up with anything. $5

6:30 Flesh and Blood, Blitz Three rounds, sanctioned. Loaner heroes behind the counter if you have never played. $8

Fri 8 Aug

6:00 Draft Three packs, eight seats, cards are yours. Fills by 5:30 most weeks, so ring and get a seat held. $25

9:00 Late Commander Runs until whoever is left goes home. Usually midnight, occasionally later. Free

Sat 9 Aug

10:00 Doors, and the case opens Buying singles and collections all day. Bring the box, we will go through it with you at the counter.

12:00 Yu-Gi-Oh Advanced format, four rounds. The biggest turnout of the week after Friday draft. $10

5:00 Sealed, any game Whatever the room votes for at four o'clock. Product cost plus two dollars, announced before you commit. varies

Sun 10 Aug

12:00 Open tables Nothing organised. Sixteen tables, whoever turns up, and the quietest hours to sit and build a deck. Free

3:00 Cardfight Vanguard Small and friendly, usually six to ten people. New players welcomed loudly. $5

If you have never played

Come on a Tuesday at four or a Wednesday at seven. Both are free, both have borrowed decks behind the counter, and neither has anybody in it trying to win something.

Do not start on a Tuesday at 6:30. That is the serious night and it will put you off.

Selling us cards

Saturdays, any time the shop is open, and Tuesday afternoons if you want it done unhurried. Bring the whole box rather than sorting it first, because the sorting is the part people get wrong.

Cash or store credit. Credit is worth about thirty percent more and there is no pressure to take it.

Holding a seat

Friday draft fills. Ring before four and your name goes on the sheet, no deposit. If you do not turn up twice in a row the sheet stops working for you, which is the only rule in the building.

Sixteen tables, and the back four are always open.

You do not need an event to use the shop. Turn up with a friend and a deck, take a table, stay as long as you like. That is what the room is for and there is never a charge for it.
