No, that’s not a typo in the title! We’ll be holding two prerelease events for the upcoming Paradox Rift expansion! The events will be Monday, October 23rd and Friday, October 27th!

Check-in on both days will begin at 3pm, with deck-building starting no later than 4:00pm, and the tournament portion beginning by 4:30pm.

Dates: October 23 & October 27th

Cost: $30 per person

Check-in: 3:00 pm

Tournament starts: 4:00 pm

Address: Box Buster Sports Cards, 16367 South Townsend Ave, Unit #7, Montrose, Colorado 81401

If you’ve never attended a Pokémon prerelease event, here’s how it works:

At the beginning of the event, each player will receive 1 Build & Battle Box, which will include:

• A 40-card ready-to-play deck
• 1 of 4 alternate-art promo cards
• 4 Paradox Rift booster packs
• 1 deck-building tip sheet

Players will then be given about 20-30 minutes to open their boxes and packs, and build a 40-card deck with the contents. (No trading with other players yet!) Players will be paired for a short, 3-round tournament of single-match games played with 4 prize cards rather than the usual 6. At the end, all players will receive 3 additional Paradox Rift booster packs!

Registration is $30 per person, and you can register in-store at Box Buster Sports Cards in Montrose. Space is limited, so we highly encourage registering beforehand, though you may register on-site the day of the event if there are any spots remaining.

IMPORTANT: Kits MUST be picked up in-store during the event! Staying for the tournament is optional (but encouraged!). If you opt to not stay for the tournament, you will only receive a Build & Battle Box and no additional booster packs! Any Build & Battle Boxes and booster packs that are remaining after the event will be available for early purchase on Monday, October 30th!

The first Pokemon TCG prerelease event on the Western Slope is finally coming! Join us April 29th at Montrose Game Corner to play in our Sun & Moon: Guardians Rising Prerelease event!

Registration begins at 1pm, with the tournament starting at 2pm. Space is limited to the first 16 players to register, so while you can register on-site, you’ll probably want to reserve your spot early to ensure you get your cards!

From March 27th through April 22nd, you can preregister on MontroseGameCorner.com for $25… which is $5 off the regular price! On-site registration the day of the event will be $30.

How it works:

Each player receives 1 Prerelease box, and will have 30 minutes to construct a 40-card deck. Basic energy cards will be provided by the tournament organizer. Players will then play a short 3-4 round tournament. Each round will be a single-game match lasting 20 minutes +3 turns. Games are played with 4 prize cards rather than the usual 6. All players will receive 3 additional Guardians Rising booster packs throughout the event, so you’ll want to be sure to stick around and play with your new cards!

IMPORTANT: Kits MUST be picked up in-store on April 29th during the event. Staying for the tournament is optional (but encouraged!). If you opt to not stay for the tournament, you will only receive a prerelease kit and no additional booster packs.
