This past weekend, Bushiroad held the 2015 Weiβ Schwarz Nationals in New York. We had several members of our community represent Battleground Games & Hobbies at the tournament. And while the road to Worlds ended a little short, our guys still did an amazing job and we are extremely proud of them. Johnny, Victor, and Nick all made the Top 8 of the tournament. Johnny, even made it to the Top 4. So we wanted to take a moment to say congratulations on a job well done!

 

If you see any of these guys at your next event, shake their hand, give them a hug, or high-five them!

Bushiroad to Release ‘Love Live! DX’ Expansion for Weiss Schwarz

Monday, March 30th, 2015

Bushiroad will release the new Love Live! DX booster expansion for its Weiss Schwarz TCG on June 26th, as originally reported by hobby news website ICv2.com.

 

The DX (deluxe) booster is a new release tied to the same property as last year’s Love Live! Trial Deck and Booster.  The set is based on the Love Live! School Idol Project multimedia property that includes manga, music CD’s, anime and video games about a group of school girls who become idols to save their school from shutting down.  The new Love Live! DX booster includes a special mix of cards from two Japanese releases: Booster Pack Love Live! feat. School Idol Festival and Extra Booster Love Live!.  Certain card specifications in this English set will differ from the Japanese edition cards.

The booster will include 107 cards including 28 parallel cards. Gold Foil/Hot Stamp chase cards featuring autographs (2 sets) from all nine members of the group “μ’s” (pronounced muse) will be randomly inserted into packs.  Each booster includes eight cards, with 20 boosters per display, and  16 displays per carton.  The English Edition does not include gold/silver campaign coupons.  With this set, English and Japanese cards may be played together in tournament formats (except in Japan).  Two PR cards out of 6 types and 1 Love Live! School Idol Festival Mobile Game serial code will be included in each display as a supplement.  Each carton will also include 4 rubber play mats (1 design).

This set will follow the May release of KanColle Trial Deck & Booster Pack. An exciting time to be a Weiss Schwarz fan!

 

Please don’t forget to join us every Saturday at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington, MA for our weekly Weiss Schwarz events! We look forward to seeing you.

Weiss Schwarz Demo Days in Plainville

Wednesday, December 10th, 2014

Do you like anime? How about anime *and* card games? You may have already seen this mentioned on Facebook or in last week’s store newsletter, but Eric Cobb will be visiting the Plainville store each Saturday starting at 6 PM to demo Weiss Schwarz, an anime-themed card game produced by Bushiroad in Japan. Weiss Schwarz features a wide variety of characters and titles, all battling for supremacy on the stage. Almost a dozen series/sets have already been released in English, and more are on the way soon!

 

The next demo day is this Saturday (12/13) starting at 6 PM, so come join in on the fun and lead your favorite characters to victory! (It’s not listed on the store website or calendar yet, so take note.)

 

All English trial decks released by Bushiroad will be available to borrow for the demo nights (and a small amount of Booster Packs and Trial Decks will be available for purchase).

 

  • Fate/Zero
  • Sword Art Online
  • Hatsune Miku Project DIVA f
  • Bakemonogatari
  • Kill la Kill
  • Persona 4
  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
  • Love Live!
  • Angel Beats!

 

If you already have your own deck to play, bring it along! The demo nights will mostly be focused on teaching the game to new players, but experienced players are also wanted and welcome. Come share your game knowledge and help newer players learn!

 

Feel free to reply in the comments below with any questions you might have and we’ll do our best to answer promptly. See you on Saturday!

 

What? You’re super-excited to learn the game and you can’t wait until Saturday?

 

OK, I’ve got you covered. Here’s a quick 20-minute video from a couple of British players that does a great job of introducing the game basics. It’s a bit rapid-fire, but it’ll give you a nice head-start before the first demo night.
