Introducing the Junior Planeswalker Society – A Magic Program for Young People

jps

The Junior Planeswalker Society is Battleground’s new program that is designed specifically to provide a fun, safe environment for kids who are interested playing or learning the trading card game Magic: The Gathering.

We believe tabletop games develop social skills and strategic thinking, and Battleground wants to help make these games available and accessible to the community. The Junior Planeswalkers Society aims to create a group setting to support young players, where they can make friends and improve their critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving skills. Our staff will be on hand to help, teach, coach, introduce, and play. No experience required!

 

The Junior Planeswalker Society will meet every Friday from 4:00pm – 7:00pm beginning October 7th.

 

Contact:
Chase@battlegroundgames.com
508-316-1195

 

This is a TOTALLY FREE event that will offer a structured, casual environment for young people to play Magic in, meet new people, and develop their skills.

 

The Junior Planeswalker Society will be taking place at both Battleground locations.

 

Please email, post, or call with questions.

 

Come play!

Behind The Shield – Episode 31 – “Inclusivity”

behind_the_shield_sample
 

Great discussion this week about inclusivity. It’s a hard subject to get right, but the first step is taking the initiative to do it. The store is always looking for ways to help make people feel welcome and included. So if you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know! There is also very little Star Trek (lie) in this episode even though it’s the 50th Anniversary of the series. Hope you enjoy the show!

Behind The Shield – Episode 30 – “A Short Attention Span For Games”

behind_the_shield_sample
 

In this episode we get a little nostalgic. We take notice of some of the 80’s resurgence in gaming and talk about some of our favorite games growing up and even discuss some we’d like to see remade today. However, it all goes to hell and our conversation goes from gaming to Star Trek. So apologies ahead of time if you’re not a Star Trek fan. But if you are, get yourself a snack and a drink, and enjoy the show!

Behind The Shield – Episode 29 – “Another Player Has Joined”

In this week’s episode Andrew and I are joined by a familiar face, and she’s here to stick around…I think. Well, she’s always been there, but not in an official capacity. Now that I think about it, I’m still confused. Ah. Anyways, it’s a fun episode and there’s even a story about someone’s first experience into the world of table top miniature painting. Enjoy the show!

Behind The Shield – Episode 28 – “Panic Mode”

behind_the_shield_sample
 

I recently got an e-mail from the fine folks over at Extra Life reminding me that the big event is only 90 days away. So naturally, I went into panic mode. This week Andrew and I talk about some of the games that were highlighted at this year’s Gen Con. We also go over some of the great Conspiracy spoilers as well as set our foot down on some Extra Life event details. Enjoy the show!
