Vintage Magic (May Event)

This month, we're proud to present a wonderfully, magical event focused on card games! There'll be casual Magic: The Gathering (beginners and non-hardcore players are welcome!), boardgames, roleplaying, and most importantly... Two Magic: The Gathering Tournaments! See the Tournaments section on this page for more information~!

The event will be on the 20th and 21st of May and is free for members, while $5 per day for non-members, however, tournament fees ($25 for UoA students, $30 for everyone else) cover this cost- so you don't have to pay that extra 5 buck if you've already paid for the tournament.

Fantastic Games and Where to Find Them:

Everything will be in Building 206 (Humanities), specifically: Room 202, 210, 214, and 217. Don't follow people that say otherwise, even if they have candy!

Session times are listed under this section! It's conveniently called 'Sessions'.

Hub Room: Room 217
There'll be activities run by the Committee Members in Room 217. Boardgames will be available for general play and if you have any questions, there'll be someone in the hub room to answer all your concerns~

Casual Magic: Room 214
Want to play Magic: The Gathering but don't know how to or aren't in the tournament? Then head on over to Room 214 to play some casual Magic: The Gathering!

GMs will be hosting a plethora of games that'll sure to get you excited! Games will be advertised from 9am - 9:30am, and 10 minutes into a session (except for the first session of the day)- so be sure not to miss that!
