WCC 4/14/14: Five Rings to Rule Them All

Once upon a time, nineteen years ago at Gencon '95, debuted a brilliant idea for a card game that sought to draw on and progressively affect a rich and untapped storyline. That game was, and still is:

Produced by Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG), Legend of the Five Rings is a CCG based in the setting of a feudal Japan-like world of Rokugan, rich with magic and mythical creatures. A multitude of nine prominent clans (think: colors of Magic) vie for dominance and the Imperial Favor. 

In 2014, AEG has launched a new campaign for L5R (this game is easy to abbreviate!) called...

Ivory Edition is essentially the new and exclusively-played format for L5R. It is the format you will see at almost every major rated event, and it consists of cards legal from four particular expansion sets, with more to come:

Ivory Edition Set

Gates of Chaos Set

Aftermath Set

Coils of Madness Set

& Promos

L5R is seeing a huge resurgence, and that overflowing interest is definitely affecting folks here at Curio! We are seeing new players (and old) entering or re-entering the game left and right on a weekly basis. With this new format, it is a very exciting time for many to try this amazing game out, and we are more than happy to teach you and/or answer any questions you have about L5R. Every Curio Staff member plays and enjoys L5R, and the L5R sealed product is flying off the shelves. 

If you would like to learn more about L5R, there is a vast amount of information available online, and they even have their own version of MtG's Gatherer: the Oracle of the Void, found here. That being said, perhaps the best way to learn is to come on in and try it out! You'll probably see a decent amount of the game being played now at the shop, and we are happy to demo it for you.

In other news, Magic is at a very exciting dawn of a new set, with spoilers of Journey Into Nyx being unmasked on a daily basis! You can find them on Wizard of the Coast's official website, or many other avenues (I personally prefer to locate the most up-to-date spoilers for a new set at www.mtgsalvation.com). This set is looking to be pretty powerful. We won't spoil any cards here for respect to those who want to be surprised, but we will say that you will be surprised indeed! 

Preregistration spots for our SIX Journey Into Nyx Prereleases are starting to fill! Sign-up in advance for any/all of the Prerelease flights! 

And don't forget, you can still PREORDER Journey Into Nyx sealed product! $95/box!!!

WCC 4/7/14: Let Us... Journey Into Nyx!

Welcome back! Hope you had a great weekend, we sure had a blast here at the shop- especially with giving out lots of freebies on Saturday for International Table Top Day! It was our first one, and we definitely intend to participate in the next. We're seeing a heavy increase of X-Wing Miniatures & Legend of the Five Rings play, too! Now is a pretty awesome time to get into either game, and we are always happy to demo either for ya.

The WOTC Mothership has recently gifted us with some new spoilers for the upcoming Journey Into Nyx set- their spoiler list can be found here. In less than three weeks, we will be hosting our regular SIX Prereleases for this third set to conclude the Theros block!
