(Click here to scroll down for info about the new bi-weekly tournaments at Plainville)
In the interest of putting my first post to good use, I wanted to share a quick announcement! (My name is Eric and you might have seen me once or twice at the Plainville shop last week. Hi there!)
Do you like anime? How about anime *and* card games? This has already been mentioned on Facebook and in last week's store newsletter, but I'll 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 first demo is
this Saturday (11/29) 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 I believe Chase is planning to have at least some of the below decks available for purchase--correct me if I'm wrong!)
- 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 to this post with any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer promptly. I can also be reached on Facebook (my name should be visible there since I replied to the FB announcement). See you on Saturday! d(^_^)b

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

P.S. It's Thanksgiving, so how about some quick "thank-you" messages? Here are shout-outs to Chase (for being so supportive and opening the doors to WS at Plainville) and Carl over at Abington (for laying the groundwork for WS at Battleground long before I came around). You've both made my work so much easier. Thanks a bunch!
