CASUAL PLAY

BOSCO'S Cup #2 '09
Late Summer. We'll have a date soon.


BOSCO'S Cup Tournaments Page
Current standings are posted!

 


Typical Supplies/Prize Layout:

Draft Tournaments: 3 Booster packs per person for deck construction, 2 Booster packs in the prize pool, 1 Booster pack awarded to each player.

Sealed Deck Tournaments: 1 Tournament pack and 2 Booster packs per person for deck construction, 2 Booster packs in the prize pool, 1 Booster pack awarded to each player.

Standard (Type 2) Tournaments: Players bring their own decks, abiding by the banned/restricted list on the MTG website. 1 Booster pack in the prize pool, 1 Booster pack awarded to each player.

Prize pool distribution:

1st place receives 1/2 of prize pool, rounded(if necessary) to the nearest number of packs suitable to support half of remaining packs in prize pool to as many places as possible.

Thus if there were 18 packs in the prize pool, 1st place would get 9 packs, 2nd place would get 4 packs, 3rd place would get 2, fourth would get 2, and fifth would get 1. On top of that, all players would get a pack for playing, held aside from the prize pool.

BOSCO'S reserves the right to change formats but we'll try not to.

SPORTS CARD TRADE NIGHT

We will host a sportscard trade night about once a month. The first one is Weds the 22nd of July.

We want to you to show up and trade cards with other collectors.

In conjuction with that, we are running a super promotion. We will give away a prize containing one pack of virtually every sportscard product that comes out between now and then.

To participate, all you have to do is buy sportscard packs and you ought to be doing that anyway. For every $5.00 spent on sports cards singles, packs, boxes and sets, we will give you one ticket. The more you spend, the more tickets youget. Then on trade night, we will draw ONE ticket and give you a few minutes to search through your tickets. 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.


24 Hour Comics Day 2009
Where: Spenard BOSCO'S and sites around the globe!
When: Saturday, October 3.

Local artists and comic creators will gather at BOSCO'S to produce comics in 24 hours. The results will be submitted for inclusion in a compiled publication.

 

In May of 1984 a comic loving hippie from Fairbanks rolled down the highway in a beat up Dodge van filled with comics!

He found a parking spot in Spenard and staked his claim!

BOSCO'S was born.

 


  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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EVENTS FOR UPCOMING MONTHS
(These may change.)

We'll add some as we think of them. Any suggestions?

Mallapalooza
When: August 1, 2009
Where: Dimond Center

The Dimond Center Mall tries to be hip! This event has been fun anyway. We're not sure what we'll do this year, but we've done game evens and DDR and video game contests in the past.


Dungeon Master 2 Game Day Event
When: September 19th, 2009.
Where: Spenard BOSCO'S


 

 

 

 

 

 

BOSCO'S is working with the Major League Baseball Players Asssociation to help Scouts get merit badges and achievement awards. Click here for more info.

 

 

 

 

 

We'll teach your group how to play the games we sell! Here's a group from the local Boys & Girls Club visiting to play a Magic: The Gathering Booster Draft Tourney. 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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are pleased that Anchorage's Channel 2 News covered this important issue on its evening news shows on July 16, 2001. Bret Clark, former Chairman of BOSCO'S Committee for Pop Culture was interviewed. He made a clear case for making the name change. All we have to do now is get 51% of the people living on Lois Drive to agree to this sensible change!

To see a clip from the news program, click here!

Superman & Lois Lane!
They have been part of American culture for sixty years! The feisty Lois Lane has been a role model for millions of strong and independent women! Anchorage has an opportunity to pay tribute to this heroine by simply changing a poorly named street in Spenard from "Lois Dr." to "Lois Lane"

This Spenard roadway was clearly named by an uncultured person. As the comic reading elite, it falls on us to right his wrong.
