Winnie the Pooh Fun Day - Multiplayer Morning

Join in with our Morning Multiplayer Mayhem!

We'll play 3 or 4 multiplayer games each, with each game's Lore Result converting into Prize Points!

Usually games cap out at 20 lore, but last tournament we had an amazing game where most of the players scored more lore than the winner due to Donald Duck Shenanigans!

After each game we mix players up based on their results in the previous game.

This super-casual event is a great opportunity to get lots of Winnie the Pooh cards out at once to complete one of Piglet's Challenges.

If you love Lorcana and want to spend the day celebrating your love of Winnie the Pooh and/or Lorcana then come and join us!

Lorcana - Piglet's Challenges

We love it when one of our Glimmers puts on some side challenges!

Piglet has set you 6 challenges to complete at our Winnie the Pooh Fun Day on 30th August, and you can earn extra Prize Points for each:

Firstly, Piglet would like you to attend in attire befitting a resident of the Hundred Acre Wood. Whether that be Eeyore's tail, a T-shirt celebrating your favourite character or a full onesie!

Second, Piglet would like to see all of his friends in play at once! Alright, how about at least 3 cards featuring different Winnie the Pooh characters in play at the same time. You can have 2 extra Prize Points if at least one of the cards belongs to you!
Piglet is really excited about this one, so you can score it up to three times!

Third, Piglet has asked that you bring along a mascot to support you as you play. Any of his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods will do, be they a toy, a plushie or a model...

Piglet is keeping the last 3 challenges secret - you'll have to figure them out on the day!

MTG: There and Back Again - Deck-building

Our latest Magic: The Gathering event series is all about playing The Hobbit decks.

Our decks will be based on standard format 60 card decks, but you can only include cards from The Hobbit in your deck (i.e. cards with the HOB code).

We also wanted to add some more exciting cards to our decks, so you can include also up to 4 cards printed with the HOC code in your deck.
HOC cards are found in Collector boosters, box-toppers and intro decks

Where can I get The Hobbit cards?
• Buying booster packs
• Purchasing singles from our folders
• As prizes and rewards throughout this series

When does it start?
This event series is 12 weeks long and begins on Monday 31st August, but we'll be running an Intro Week on 24th August where new players can learn, or you can get started with deck-building and trading.

What is Poohcana?

We wanted to find a way to get everyone playing some Winnie the Pooh cards, without it becoming an entire day of Hunny decks.....and so Poohcana was born!

A Poohcana deck is based on a Poorcana deck, where you can only include Common and Uncommon cards in your deck.
But in Poohcana, you can also include any cards featuring a Winnie the Pooh character, regardless of rarity. This means that your Winnie the Pooh cards will be the defining cards of your deck!

What about Christopher Robin?
In order to ensure that the event is not dominated by Hunny decks, we have limited decks to a maximum of 2 ink colours (and you cannot use Christopher Robin - Hunny Sage's Gather the Party to exceed this).

Check out the event pack for more details:
