This winter, Magic: the Gathering brings the Ikoria Lair of Behemoths pre-release to Just Games! Pre-releases are on May 15-17 (moved due to COVID-19 delays), with the full release on the following Friday. Magic’s wild new “monster world” brings some of the most ambitious play mechanics the game has ever seen.
We have added three new events to our schedule recently, so if you haven’t been in a while, or still haven’t checked out our new space, now’s your chance!
Note, due to concerns over COVID-19 you will see an added option on our prerelease menu called “Play at Home.” Wizards has made this prerelease an exception – if you still want to support your local game store, but don’t want to or cannot attend in person for health-related reasons, you may “Play at Home.” You may either pick up your kit and prizes on the day, or any time thereafter. This option does two things: keep you safe, comfortable and healthy, and helps keep your friendly local game store’s operational. If you aren’t SURE if you want to attend, buy a Play at Home – we can always convert it later. Or head to our shop and buy a Play Online ticket, to learn how to do that.
Pre-registration Now Open
Friday 3 pm Early Bird
Going to a pre-release is fun! Doing it for $10 off, at $25 is even more fun! The first 25 players to pre-register can take advantage of this special $25 pricing, after that the price rises $5, so don’t wait to commit to this event. Come in mid-afternoon on Friday and try out the new time slot. See how you like it, and do it for less for interrupting a work day!
Friday Night (Magic) Prerelease, 6 pm Friday
FNM Pre-release sealed! Same as the old Saturday afternoon time slot, similar prizes, just as awesome!
