Thursdays at 5pm
3 v 3 Tournament, 3 Round tournament
Arena: Green BeybladeX Beystadium
Players bring a deck of 3 Beys (must be BeybladeX)

Match Type:
Earn 4 points to win a set. Win two 4-point sets to win the match.
Match Structure:

Each blader orders their Beys from left to right as the 1st Bey, 2nd Bey, and 3rd Bey
For the first battle, each blader uses their 1st Bey. For each battle afterwards, bladers must use the next Bey in their deck order.
After battling with the 3rd Bey, both bladers may change the order of their deck in secret. Then, each blader uses their 1st Bey for the next battle

Battle:

Both bladers present the Beys they will use in the battle to each other by showing the top and bottom of the Bey so that all parts are clearly visible
Attach your Bey to your launcher and hold it within launch range

directly above or within your half of the arena
with the Bit of the Bey no higher than 2 inches above the stadiums highest point
with the Bey not tilted more than 70° in any direction

Bladers must launch in a way that doesn’t interfere with their opponent. For example: touching the opponent’s launcher or physically touching the opponent in any way.

Launch:

During the countdown, players will call out: “three, two, one, let it rip!”
Players launch their Bey when “rip” is called.

Resolve Battle:

A Bey becomes finished when it stops spinning, bursts, or is unable to return to the battle zone.
The battle ends as soon as either:

One Bey is spinning in the battle zone while the opposing Bey is finished, OR
Both Beys are finished.

Do not touch any Beys until the battle results have been confirmed by each player or judge

Battle Result:

When the battle ends, the blader that scored a finish wins the battle, and earns points based on how the opposing Bey was finished.

Scoring:

Over Finish – 2 Points

Initiated when the opponent’s Bey enters the overzone.
Scored when the opponent’s Bey becomes unable to return to the battle zone.

Burst Finish – 2 Points

Initiated and scored when the opponent’s Bey bursts while in the battle zone.

Flesh and Blood Weekly Tournament at Gnome Games Green Bay West
2026-06-03 17:00 - 21:00 | Gnome Games Green Bay West, 2160 Ridge Road, Green Bay, WI, 54304, United States
Join us at Gnome Games Green Bay West and play some Flesh and Blood!
We’re playing Classic Constructed each week: Wednesdays at 5pm. $7 entry Win a match, Win a pack played over 3 rounds!

Matches: First to 1 win
Round Time: 55 minutes

In Classic Constructed, each player registers their non-young hero card and 80 cards that make up their card-pool. The card-pool includes arena-cards (weapons, equipment, etc.), and deck-cards that will start in the player’s deck.
A card can only be included in a Player’s card-pool if the card’s class/talents are a subset of the hero’s class/talents (e.g. a Light talent card can only be included in a card-pool if the hero has a Light talent). Generic cards can be included in any card-pool.
A card-pool may contain up to 3 copies of each unique card. A card is unique if it has a different name AND pitch value from another card. (e.g. Sink Below (red) is unique compared to Sink Below (blue) because they have different pitch values)
These rules are subject to the effects of the hero or cards in the card-pool, which may allow or limit what cards can be included. (e.g. Heroes with “Essence” allow certain talented cards to be included, even if the hero doesn’t have the same talent. Cards with “Legendary” limit themselves to only 1 in the card-pool.)

Battletech and Bloodbowl: Miniature Tuesdays at Gnome Games Green Bay West
2026-06-02 12:00 - 20:00 | Gnome Games Green Bay West, 2160 Ridge Road, Green Bay, WI, 54304, United States
Join the Gnomes each Tuesday for our Miniature day! Whether that is by joining our painters as they put their first or finishing touches to their models or by battling on the tabletop, all are invited to play each Tuesday at Gnome Games!
In May we’re focusing on Battletech and Bloodbowl, but anything from Star Wars: Armada to Zombicide are welcome! If you will need more than one table, we just ask that you call ahead so we can get things set up for you!
What is Battletech?
It is the 32nd century, and endless wars rage across human-occupied space. These epic clashes between star empires are won and lost by BattleMechs, 30-foot-tall humanoid metal titans bristling with lasers, autocannons and other lethal weapons. Your elite force of MechWarriors drives these juggernauts into battle, proudly holding your faction’s flag high to expand the power and glory of your realm. Will you become a legend, or a forgotten casualty?
Check out the quick start rules and more here: https://battletech.com/qsr/
What is Blood Bowl?
Blood Bowl is a tabletop game of fantasy football set in an alternative version of Warhammer’s Old World. Players take on the role of coach for a motley team of miniatures from races including Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs, Ogres, and the Undead and roll dice as they battle for gridiron supremacy.
Blood Bowl predates Warhammer 40k by a year! It’s been through many iterations, and is currently on the Third Season Edition!

2026-06-01 18:00 - 20:30 | Gnome Games Appleton East, W3169 Van Roy Road, Appleton, WI, 54915, United States
Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Dungeons & Dragons Weekly One-shots!
Every Monday from 6 PM to 8:30 PM, join us for Dungeons & Dragons one-shot sessions! Whether you’re newer to the role-playing scene or a veteran just looking for some fun, all are welcome at our tables! Our own Dungeon Master (DM) will guide you through a mini session of daring adventure and fun role-playing for a night to remember!
Starting next week, join us for the kickoff of the Season of Horror! Take part in a Celebration encounter in the setting of Ravenloft, then launch into four weeks of sessions with rewards for repeat play!
What do I need to bring?
A full set of dice is required to play. To be more specific, a full set of dice includes a d4 (4-sided die), d6 (6-sided die), d8 (8-sided die), d10 (10-sided die), percentile d10 (00-90), d12 (12-sided die), and d20 (20-sided die). We provide pre-made character sheets! Entry is $10.
What is Dungeons & Dragons?
Dungeons & Dragons is a classic tabletop role-playing game that has been around since 1974! Throughout the years it has developed and grown into a beloved franchise of not just rulebooks, but novels, video games, and even popular movies! In Dungeons & Dragons, players will take on the role of their very own character and act out all of their movements and conversations themselves. Often times these actions will lead into checks the player has to make, where they will roll dice and add some character statistics together to see how well they do! Both success and failure come together to make these games happen, so be ready for anything!
An important part to playing Dungeons & Dragons is having a story teller, lovingly labeled as the Dungeon Master (DM)! The DM will run the campaign for players and dictate how the story flows as the characters progress. They can use preconstructed campaigns referred to as modules, or craft their very own stories from scratch! Either way, the DM usually has a lot of planning to do to make things flow well. It’s a very rewarding feeling, though!
More information is available on D&D Beyond, which highlights both digital and physical aspects of Dungeons & Dragons.

What is Riftbound?
Riftbound is a collectable trading card game featuring a vast array of characters and locales from League of Legends. Choose a Legend and Chosen Champion card for your deck and battle it out between 2 to 4 players in various game modes! The most important card in your deck is your champion legend. This is the card you build your deck around—it determines your options for the chosen champion who starts faceup on the board and who you’ll send to fight for you, and it defines the domains (colors) of your deck’s cards.
Your legend and your chosen champion define your strategy. Maybe your plan is quick strikes, maybe it’s to build up an unstoppable huge army, or maybe it’s to use one incredibly powerful and mobile fighter. You’ll have additional units (and other champion units) to send to fight, spells to help them win, and even gear to empower your team.
For a more guided How to Play experience, take a look at the Riftbound How to Play website!

The domains are:

Fury (Red) –

Fury is about aggression, passion, and the thrill of conquering.
Fury decks often use damage-based removal, Accelerate (and other ways to enter ready), and rewards for conquering to achieve victory.
Generally, Fury cards have a harder time drawing lots of cards or killing units directly, especially units that stay out of combat in their base.
Examples of Fury from popular fiction are Conan the Barbarian, Blade, and Anakin Skywalker.

Calm (Green) –

Calm is about balance, meditation, and the peace of holding.
Calm decks often use defensive tricks, moving enemies, and negating interaction (like counterspells and stuns) to defend their holds and achieve victory.
Generally, Calm cards have a harder time being very aggressive or interacting without using their units.
Examples of Calm from popular fiction are Gandalf, Baloo, and Obi Wan Kenobi.

Mind (Blue) –

Mind is about innovation, outsmarting opponents, and the benefits of intelligence and curiosity.
Mind decks often use long-term planning, shrinking tricks, card draw, hidden and gear synergy to gain an advantage and achieve victory.

Players have a limit of one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic’s history. A card’s color identity can come from any part of that card, including its casting cost and any mana symbols in its text. Every card in your Commander deck must only use mana symbols that also appear on your commander. Colorless cards are allowed as well.
