CITADEL BASE PAINT SET
GETTING STARTED WITH AGE OF SIGMAR
SPACE MARINES + PAINT SET
All together, this prize comes out to about $438!!!

Draft dice & use the tools-of-the-trade to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.
Each player will build a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other.
Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts 2 dice.
Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens -- however, once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the next player to use them.
Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement... as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.
The highest scoring window artisan is the winner! ... See MoreSee Less

This edition features all-new art and graphic design crafted to complement the game's intuitive, thematic mechanics. Rounds are now broken into day and night: hunters take actions during both, but Dracula can only act at night. Combat is now more streamlined and decisive, and new rumor tokens allow Dracula to mislead hunters and extend the terrible reach of his influence. Count Dracula triumphs if he advances his influence track to thirteen; if the hunters can defeat him before then, they save the continent of Europe and win the game. ... See MoreSee Less

Each turn in Vikings Gone Wild — a deck-building, resource management game based on the online real-time strategy game — players can either buy permanent buildings sitting in front of them (resource factories, resources containers, etc) or buy units, towers and special cards that improve their deck and offense/defense capacity.
The only way to win is by successfully attacking each other, and each attack involves interesting bluffing mechanisms in which the attacker doesn't know the defense capacity of their opponent... ... See MoreSee Less

The latest installment of Star Wars Destiny finally arrived, and we want to celebrate with YOU on the 40th anniversary of Star Wars!!!
There will be a $5.00 entry fee (which you can pay for at the front counter to receive your ticket) to participate in the single elimination rounds hosted by All Things Nerdy. By participating, not only will you receive a Spirit of the Rebellion booster pack but also exclusive promo cards! Awakening dice and cards are welcome as well!!
Join us, and the Rebellion, in the event room from 12:00pm-2:00pm.
“This is a rebellion, isn’t it?”
–Jyn Erso, Rogue One
The Star Wars saga has always centered on the timeless struggle between good and evil. At different points throughout the saga, evil may be lurking in the shadows or controlling an oppressive, galaxy-spanning Empire. Yet there must always be balance in the Force, and whenever the dark side rises, a spirit of rebellion begins to light the way forward.
With the new Spirit of Rebellion Booster Pack for Star Wars: Destiny, 160 brand-new cards enter the game, incorporating elements from every movie in the saga, but with a special focus on the newest Star Wars movie: Rogue One. You’ll find plenty of characters from Rogue One within this set, including Jyn Erso, Chirrut Îmwe, Mon Mothma, and Director Krennic, alongside other iconic characters from across the Star Wars story. The spirit of rebellion has ignited, so prepare to bring the feverish battles and kinetic action of Rogue One to your games of Star Wars: Destiny!
Every booster pack includes five randomized cards and one premium die, broken down into three common cards, one uncommon card, and one rare or legendary card with a corresponding die. All cards that feature a corresponding die are either rare or legendary cards. With every booster pack, you’ll find new characters, supports, upgrades, or events, along with new ways to enter the Star Wars galaxy and fight for your chosen side! ... See MoreSee Less
