Game Spotlight! Fantasy Football (Blood Bowl)
Technically speaking, Blood Bowl should be considered a more of a league than a wargame. A sports league, of powerful individuals from different races across the Warhammer universe. It makes for a quick and fascinating game of brutal violence, intertwined with a casualties box, as well as a penalty box for when things get really out of line, and you always gotta keep an eye on the ball. We have a dedicated group of coaches in every Wednesday night, so if you're ever interested in learning, make sure you come along!Fight fair, Morgan and the team from Valkyrie Games.
Traffic Lights!
Alright everybody, it's time for a breakdown of how we will function under this new Traffic Light system for managing Covid19 at Valkyrie Games.This is gonna be a long one, so strap in!The general vibe is that at any and all levels of the traffic light system, all play spaces and events at Valkyrie will be run under the requirement of a vaccine pass, while the retail space will be run without the requirement of a vaccine pass unless required. So I'll outline each colour in regards to both play space and retail space. Green! Business as usual. For the...

We have a brand new display case to show off only the shiniest of trading cards, more shelves to stack full of new board games, and the drawers are no longer hidden away at the back of the...
Thoughts on Crimson Vow Now That We've Had A Chance To Play
As is a surprise to very few, I (Morgan) am head over heels in love with this set. The mechanics all feel very on brand, and so much of the gameplay is about tricky decision making in a way I feel is incredibly fun. Playing the spirits deck in limited means that the priorities for blocking are very different, and playing any of the decks that utilize the blood mechanic mean that you have so many more options for card advantage. I think this set is super fun, and with that in mind, here's a list of the cards I have killed...
I Hear Wedding Bells!
This is the most important set of Magic: the Gathering to be released, as it involves the beautiful Olivia Voldaren just absolutely dunking on the Markov household. (This is Morgan's personal opinion, and does not represent the views of the store as a professional entity). Crimson Vow is vampires and weddings and a powerful aristocratic energy, with some of the most beautiful art of murderers in fancy dress. Everything is terrible, and while humanity tries it's best to survive the Eternal Night, the monsters of Innistrad prepare to feast. And as much as I plan to sing this set's praises because...
