Canton Games

Labor Day gives a break to all the hard working people in the world like you (and especially like us).  Everyone, go out and enjoy the last cookout of the season.  Have fun doing whatever you do, we’ll see you tomorrow.

This top pick this week is the long awaited Wolverine in Hell series.  We’ve got Shadowland #3 and a really good Brightest Day #9.  The Indy comics bring us Incorruptable, Murderland #2 and Scarlet #2 – Scarlet is a pretty good read.

Stop what you’re doing right now and read Avengers #4.  Seriously.  Do it.

All better?  Okay.

Three new books came out today in the Curse of the Mutants storyline.  Batman 702 is just awesome, filling in missing bits from the Final Crisis storyline and showing why, exactly, he’s lost somewhere in time.  There’s a new Generation Lost, hunting down Maxwell Lord.  Wonder Woman shows off her new jacket, Time Masters search for Bruce Wayne throughout the timeline and Deadpool invents a rabid hamster gun.  And it works.

Want to learn a new game?  Want to have all the fun of miniature gaming without the huge startup cost?  Come here on Saturday the 21st and learn to play Battlegrounds – a cool card based combat system from Your Move Games.  It’s free to learn and I remember from last time that it’sa lot of fun.

We’re starting at 1:00.  Come a little early and check out the store’s new layout.

I’ve been asking around and the answer is yes – you guys want to test your Standard skills.  So come down to the store on Sunday and put your mana where your mouth is.

Bring your own constructed deck Sunday at 1:00. Your deck must contain at least 60 cards, and if you wish to have a sideboard it must be exactly 15 cards.  We’ll play 3 or 4 rounds, depending on how many players turn up.  The current standard card pool is all cards from the sets Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn, Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, M10 and M11.  There’s a lot of cards to choose from and a lot of different decks that could emerge victorious.

Entrance fee is $5, and everyone who shows up gets a free foil Leatherback Baloth.  Prizes will be packs or store credit, and probably another foil promo card I’ll find lying around.

It’s high time for another Magic draft, but a shortage in Eldrazi boosters means I’m not sure what we should play.  I’m leaving it up to you guys – either a 3x M11 draft or a Zen / Zen / WW draft.  Post a comment here or on our facebook page and tell me what you’d rather play.  Either way, the entrance fee will be $15, and I supply all packs, prizes and basic land.

The new Dominion expansion:  Prosperity, is coming soon.  This set takes the already awesome game of Dominion and quite literally cranks it to 11.  Look for 10 point colony cards, Platinum treasures worth 5 coins, and action cards that cost 7.  I own every Dominion expansion personally, and I guarantee you that this is the best set they’ve done yet.

Preorder your copy now at Canton Games and you get a double bonus.  First, you get 20% off the retail price just for placing the order.  Then, while supplies last, we let you pick a free promo card – either Stash, Envoy or Black Market.  These exclusive cards are not for sale at any stores anywhere, and we’re giving them to you free just for buying the game you know you’re going to get anyway.

So come on down to Canton Games and preorder your copy of Dominion:  Prosperity today!

Do you have an interest in Steampunk, Goth or Horror?  Do you like Miniature games, but don’t want to pay out a huge startup cost?  Do you hate losing die rolls?  Malifaux may be the game for you.  Come to the store today at 1:00 for a free demo of Malifaux, the best new miniatures game to come out in years.  It’s entirely card based combat – which means you’ll never lose the game due to a bad die roll.  Come check it out!
