Happy Holiday's Everyone! Please be advised, our hours for the following days will be different: Tuesday December 24th - 11:00AM - 3:00PM Wednesday December 25th - CLOSED Thursday December 26th - 11:00AM - 6:00PM Tuesday December 31st - 11:00AM - 3:00PM Wednesday January 1st - CLOSED Thursday January 2nd - Back To Normal Hours As a result, our regular tournaments/events on these days will not be happening. Enjoy Your Holiday Season & Have a Happy New Year!
This Sunday October 27th we will be holding our Special Booster 2.0 Celebration Events at Noon and 5PM. These events will both be Regular Constructed events (much like our typical 5PM Sunday tournament) but with special promos: 1x Participation Machinedramon (EX-1) 1x Special Booster 2.0 Celebration Event pack Winner gets a Holographic Textured Machinedramon (EX-1)! Unfortunately, we will not have any Boxes of Special Booster 2.0 for this weekend as our Distributor has yet to get in the product themselves. As a result, while we would have liked to, we will not be able to run these events as normal pre-releases. Additionally, we will not have any boxes of the new set available to sell prior to set release. We hope to see you this Sunday to celebrate the upcoming release of Special Booster 2.0!
**Other Shop's Beware!** Watch out for these two if they show up at your store! They came in with a large amount of Pokémon Bulk, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Sports Card Singles wanting to trade them in for cash. Stole our Bloomburrow Singles binder (Black 1 1/2" Binder with Rares, Mythics, & Uncommons; Organized by WUBRG & Rarity + Foils) along with one of our 2024 Pokémon Holiday Calendar's. Keep an eye on them if they happen to enter your store, as they seem to take advantage of employees helping other customers.
Happy Friday Shoeboxers! Just an announcement to let you all know that the shop will be closed this coming Monday July 1st for Canada Day. As a result our regularly scheduled Monday events will be cancelled this week! Enjoy your long weekend and we'll see you Tuesday!

Trading Cards
We currently carry the largest selection of Pokemon Trading Card Game singles in Calgary. We buy and trade as well so whether you are looking to complete a competitive deck, fill in that empty slot in your binder, or just want a friendly face to teach you how to play, we are the place to be!
Magic the Gathering is really picking up at the store. Fully sanctioned and with a focus on casual, semi-competitive events that fosters fair play and welcomes beginners, we have a very well stocked and sorted singles selection down to the commons. No rule-sharking here at the chillest LGS in town. Expect home brews, a good time, and thriving Commander/EDH (20+ players weekly) and Drafting scenes.
We are sanctioned for Yu-Gi-Oh! too and boast the best singles selections in town for the game! Compete, trade, and take advantage of the most competitively priced sealed YGO products in Calgary.
Store credit from trade-ins can be used for Anything in the store!

Miniatures and Board Games
TCGs aren’t or only focus. you’ll find a wide selection of Games Workshop products we can custom order in for you, as well as Calgary's most attended, and chillest, Gundam/Gunpla builders scenes. We are a small store, but make up for it with competitive prices (for example, as of 2019, we only charge less than $180 for Gloomhaven) and a busy Custom Order Program. We will never demand for payment beforehand and are always asking for suggestions to what to bring in to expand the store.

Tables Fees
We have a minimal $3/person table fee. As long as you support the store by spending more than $3 during your time here, you'll have access to our full library of in-store Board Game Rentals and learner TCG decks. And, that's that! We try to keep it simple, affordable, and welcoming at the store :)
Please spend more money here though... I need to pay for my kids' shoes
