Sunday Booster Draft
Where: BOSCO'S Spenard
When: Sundays 12:00 noon when we open, event starts as soon as it can.
We don't have these on any day when we are having another Magic tournament or other large event.
Cost: $15.

Draft requires 8 or more players! If 8 people show up, we do these. Usually we get at least 8. Bring your friends just in case.

The Magic Commander is a "Casual Non Rated Constructed Tournament" because Commander is not yet allowed as a FNM format. The rules for Commander are available at: http://mtgcommander.net/rules.php

The very short and very oversimplified version of the rules is

1) Commander is designed to promote social interaction, don't be a jerk.
2) Players must choose a legendary creature as the "Commander" for their deck. The Commander's mana cost defines what color of mana symbols may appear on cards in the deck.
3) With the exception of basic lands, no two cards in the deck may have the same English name.
4) A deck may not generate mana outside its colors.
5) An EDH deck must contain exactly 100 cards, including the Commander.

You are welcome to come to play without joining the tournament.

'Magic: The Gathering' Comic Will Include Exclusive, Playable, Alternate Art Cards

Expected release date Feb 1, 2012.

Let us know if you want one. We expect to sell out.

Wizards of the Coast and IDW Publishing have announced the fall launch of the first new Magic the Gathering comic book series in over a decade. The initial 4-issue Magic the Gathering miniseries, which will be written by author and game designer Matt Forbeck (The Lord of the Rings RPG, The Marvel Encyclopedia), will focus on a unique new Planeswalker, a powerful mage with the ability to move between the worlds of the Magic Multiverse.

The comic will come with exclusive, playable, alternate-art cards for the Magic: The Gathering Trading Card Game, which will only be available in select issues of the IDW Magic: The Gathering comic book.

Martin Coccolo will provide the art for the first M:TG miniseries. IDW plans to collect its Magic: The Gathering comics at intervals in trade paperback collections, in much the same way that it has with the new Dungeons & Dragons comic book series that it launched in 2010.

 

 


  In case you haven't figured it out yet, BOSCO'S is a full service and fully stocked Games Workshop retailer. We carry the minis, the army boxed sets, all the rule books, paints, terrain .... all you need including space to play!

If someone produces the matching ticket, they get all the packs accumulated. If nobody has the matching ticket, the packs will carry over to the next trade night and we will add the next month's packs to it. All tickets issued prior to the drawing will be thrown away.

Trade night drawing rules

1. Must be here to win
2. We will draw ONE ticket only.
3. We will give everyone present FIVE minutes to look through their tickets.

WITH BIG MIKE

Where: BOSCO'S Dimond Center
When: January 21 at noon
Where: Across from BOSCO'S in the Dimond Center.
Cost: $20 (This pays for the boosters you need)

This is month 1 of Infinity Gauntlet series (see below).

Mike runs events for new releases and sporadically otherwise. Email him to get on his contact list.

QUESTIONS? Contact Mike at bootkneelee "at" gmail.com


WizKids Plans Infinity Gauntlet 2012

Where: Usually Spenard.
When: Time to be announced monthly
Cost: Free

email Michael at bootkneelee "at" gmail.com to get on his notification list.

Infinity Gauntlet will consist of monthly events from January through August of 2012 supporting the release of Incredible Hulk, Galactic Guardians, and Mighty Avengers, the three Marvel sets that will release during that period.

This separate arcing OP program is in addition to the standard organized play program that supports the release of a new set. Players at the monthly Infinity Gauntlet events will compete to win limited edition figures, with ultimate winners receiving Thanos on his Shrine to Death.

Participation prizes will reward all players.

January 21 tournament kit will include four Adam Warlock with Infinity Gauntlet limited edition figures, 20 Infinity Gauntlets as participation prizes, and ten double-sided maps.

February Kit will include four In-Betweener limited edition figures and 20 Soul Gems (the participation prizes.)

March will include four Champion limited edition figures and 20 Power Gems.

April includes four Gardner LE figures and 20 Time Gems.

June includes four Collector LE figures and 20 Reality Gems.

July includes four Grandmaster LE figures and 20 Mind Gems.

August includes two Thanos LE figures and two Shrine to Death colossal bases, and 20 Terraxia LE figures.

Each of the gems attaches to the Infinity Gauntlet and unlocks a special power; once players have a Gauntlet with six gems they are ready for the showdown with Thanos at his Shrine.


Eureka!

Buy "Oil Springs" and BOSCO'S will donate ALL of the purchase price to the
Alaska Center for the Environment!

Oil has been discovered on the island of Catan! But oil is scarce and its use does not come without cost. Using oil produces pollution and climate changing emissions, which bring with them the threat of coastal flooding-and absolute disaster. With the discovery of oil on Catan, the Settlers face a new challenge: deciding whether the common good is worth limiting oil usage or whether the pursuit of victory is worth the risk of ruin.

Buy Oil Springs for $5 and BOSCO'S will donate all of it to ACE.

The players in Settlers of Catan represent settlers establishing colonies on the island of Catan. Players build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island. The game board representing the island is composed of hexagonal tiles (hexes) of different land types which are laid out randomly at the beginning of each game.

Players build by spending resources (brick, lumber, wool, grain, and ore), represented by resource cards. Players are allowed to trade resource cards.

Where: BOSCO'S Spenard

Heroes of the Feywild will have new themes and backgrounds which some of the players may want to incorporate into their new characters.

How it Works:

Step 2 - You can enter by purchasing a pack of 2011-12 Panini NHL Cards including such popular brands as; Score, Pinnacle, Prestige, Donruss, Elite, Classic, Score, Certified, Absolute and many others.

Step 3 - To win, you must open the pack in front of a store employee. If you "pull" the highlighted Panini NHL Player of the Day or the Wild Card you win a prize.

Step 4 - Four times during the promotion one randomly chosen daily winner will receive an additional prize as a weekly prize winner.

Step 5 - At the conclusion of the 30-day promotion, one of the four weekly winners is randomly selected as the grand prize winner and receives the autographed card.

Anchorage Reads at Bridge Builders Meet the World
Feb. 25, 11-4 pm Anchorage Museum bridgebuildersak.com

Read the book and win a NOOK®! After you finish Persepolis, go to facebook.com/anchoragereads and enter to win a NOOK® Tablet in a March 9 drawing.

Satrapi's memoir opens with her childhood in Iran during the tumultuous era which saw the overthrowing of the Shah, the Iranian Revolution, the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, and the war with Iraq. The story evolves in stark black and white images and brief text as Satrapi grows from an idealistic and outspoken child, to a teen expatriate student in Austria, and finally to an adult trying to reconcile her two worlds at home and abroad.

As Anchorage Reads' first foray into the graphic novel, we examine this up-and-coming form of storytelling, especially popular among teens, explore how it is created, and discuss its unique value as literature. The story has added relevance today, during the time of the Arab Spring, when people across the Middle East and Africa are waging their own battles for democracy. Satrapi's personal story gives an insight into the daily life of a person behind the news headlines.

Sponsored by Target, Anchorage Reads is an Anchorage Public Library program to promote reading, literacy and community-building by inspiring people of different ages and backgrounds to read the same book. This marks the sixth year of the program, which runs February 2 to March 11, 2012.

Each Anchorage Reads is unique with different partners and events that enhance the understanding and discussion of that year's book. The 2012 program includes a showing of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize film based on the book, and the Alaska World Affairs Council's February 10 event featuring Dr. Trita Parsi, the president of the Nation Iranian American Council speaking on "A Single roll of the dice: Obama's Diplomacy with Iran."

Additionally, the first volume of the book, Perspolis, which details Satrapi's experiences until she leaves Iran at 14, is on the reading list for ninth graders in the Anchorage School District.

Groups and individuals are encouraged to participate by reading the book, attending events or staging their own. The Complete Persepolis is available for check-out at all APL locations and is also a featured title in APL's Book Club Bags, which include ten copies of the book and book club tips-perfect for book clubs! Stay tuned for a complete list of Anchorage Reads events, suggested supplemental reading and film lists, a reader's guide, and much more!


Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix Seattle-Tacoma Trial

Where: BOSCO'S in Spenard
When: Saturday February 11, Register at 12:30 p.m. Begin at 1 p.m.
Cost: $30

This will be an Innistrad-Dark Ascension sealed deck tournament. Everyone who plays gets 6 packs (3 Innistrad & 3 Dark Ascension). We'll also have great prizes worthy of a Grand Prix event! The top player gets a three-round bye at the Grand Prix Seattle-Tacoma on March 2-4.

Once we have established the top eight players, they play a run-off booster draft with new packs.

This will be run at the Competitive Rules Enforcement Level and judged by Level 1 judge Drew Bosco. There will be a card pool swap for the sealed deck tournament. All the details are here.


UPPER DECK NATIONAL HOCKEY CARD DAY

Where: BOSCO'S in Spenard
When: Saturday February 11
Cost: Free!

For three years, hockey fans in the United States have been shut out from Upper Deck’s National Hockey Card Day where collectors can get free packs from the best card shops.

This year, Upper Deck is extending the trading card holiday to America. As part of Upper Deck’s Certified Diamond Dealers network, BOSCO'S will have special packs available for you!

The set will highlight top Americans in the sport and top international stars on American franchises. A special Tim Thomas card celebrating a Stanley Cup championship with the Boston Bruins will be a 16th card given as a gift with purchase.

Upper Deck likes to spice things up as well. The company will sprinkle in a few autographs along the way.


AVENGERS vs X-MEN

Why would these folks be fighting? Hold hands and sing Kumbaya! Well ... maybe not.

The biggest comic book event in history begins in Avengers VS X-Men #1, hitting BOSCO'S April 4, 2012!

The top creators in comics—Brian Bendis, Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, John Romita Jr, Olivier Coipel & Adam Kubert—join forces for a landmark twelve-issue story sending The Avengers and the X-Men—the two most popular franchises in comics history—to war with each other! The world’s greatest super heroes—Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Magneto and more—enter an unforgettable battle…and only one side can emerge victorious!


PreRelease Events

Tournaments will be April 28 and 29. Exact schedule to be announced eventually (get on our email list to make sure you know).

Prepay deal will be announced eventually. (Probably will be the same pricing as for Dark Ascention.)

The "Launch" tournaments will be a week later after the official release.

May 4th release of Magic the Gathering: Avacyn Restored, the third and final set of the Innistrad block. At 244 cards Avacyn Restored qualifies as a large set and appears at first glance to be similar to the Zendikar block’s Rise of the Eldrazi.

The Avacyn set could include some very different mechanics than seen in Innistrad and Dark Ascension in much the same way that the mechanics in Eldrazi differed from those in the other sets in the Zendikar block. Avacyn Restored will not have any ‘dual-faced’ cards.


KidsDay

Where: Dena'ina Center (The big grey convention center that is not the Egan Center)
When: Saturday, April 21st, from 10am - 4 pm
Cost: Free!

Hundreds of booths with games, a variety of entertainment and things to do. Thousands of people. Young kids and special teen events, too.

This is a pretty good time for all. BOSCO'S will be there with our "Destroy the Death Star" game of skill.


FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

Where: Both BOSCO'S and Anchorage Public Libraries.
When: Saturday May 5
Cost: FREE! (duh)

 

Plans for 2012 continue to develop. We've been offering 3 free comics from the special Free Comic Book Day comics to everyone. We also provide comics for the Anchorage Libraries to give away.

Watch for special deals for people who come in costume.

Special discounts all around the store.

A prize drawing for a full set of all the Free Comic Book Day comics. (There are dozens on the list!)

We hope to have representatives from the 501st legion and maybe even continue our concert series.

All great things, but mostly we need for YOU to show up ready to have a great time!

Most of these kids were beginners, and things went great! If you have a group that would like some lessons in games we sell, give us a call!
