Level 1 Games

Know before you go

What we run, how our events work, and the house rules. New here? This is everything you need — and if it isn't, just ask. We're friendly.

What we run

Friday Night Magic Draft

Booster draft — we crack the packs, you build a deck on the night. No collection needed to play, and you keep everything you open.

Casual Commander

Bring a 100-card singleton deck and find a pod. Relaxed, social, and welcoming to every power level — jank encouraged.

Pokémon League

Organized play for the Pokémon TCG. One of the best places to start if you or your kids are new to the game.

Prerelease

Play with a brand new Magic set before it reaches shelves. Seats are limited, so message us ahead to reserve one.

Dates, times and entry fees for every event are on the calendar.

House rules

Short and simple: be someone other people want to play against.

  • Respect goes both ways. Harassment, slurs, and targeting people over who they are will get you asked to leave, first time, no warning.
  • Keep it clean. Cheating, stalling, and angle-shooting are not clever. You'll be dropped from the event.
  • Mind your stuff, and everyone else's. Never touch another player's cards, deck, or dice without asking.
  • Newer players get patience. Everybody was new once. If someone is learning, help them.
  • Lids on drinks, food off the tables. Drinks with lids are fine while you play; keep food to the side counter, away from other people's cards — one spilled soda can end a collection.
  • Staff decisions are final on rulings and on the play space. If you disagree, talk to us after the round and we'll hear you out.

We also follow the code of conduct for the organized play programs we run — Wizards of the Coast for Magic, and The Pokémon Company for Pokémon events.

How our events work

The full schedule lives on the events calendar, with dates, times, formats, and entry fees. Here's what applies across the board.

Signing up

Most events take walk-ups — just turn up and pay at the counter. For prereleases and anything with limited product, message us ahead to reserve a seat, because those do sell out.

Arrive about 15 minutes early. We close entry at the listed start time so the first round isn't held up.

Entry and prizes

Entry fees are listed per event on the calendar. Prize support is paid in store credit and scales with how many people show up — more players, bigger prizes.

What to bring

Sleeve your deck for constructed events. Sleeves must be uniform and unmarked; we sell them if you forget.

Bring a way to track life totals, and dice or tokens for anything your deck needs. For limited events, everything you need is in the product.

Families and younger players

Kids are genuinely welcome — Pokémon League in particular draws a family crowd. Players under 13 should have an adult with them in the shop.

If your child is new to the game and you're not sure where to start, come in on a quieter afternoon and we'll walk you both through it.

Buying, selling and trading

We buy collections, singles, sealed product, and retro games — cash or store credit. Details are on the buylist section of the home page.

Player-to-player trading is part of the hobby and we're happy to see it. Please don't run cash sales to other customers on the premises.

Lost property

Left something behind? Call us. We hold lost property for 30 days.
