There's nothing like cupid's bowcaster to spread the love of Dueling in the month of February! We are ready for the 12th annual Valentine's Duel this Friday at 8PM in the North Village Fine Arts Studio. Is there anything more romantic to hear than when your opponent whispers, "I choose not to defend"??? If that doesn't make your heart pitter-patter, I don't know what does.
We have something else to celebrate at this Duel - the debut of TWO MORE new characters! That's right, Commander Cody & the 212th Clones, as well as Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters IG-88 & Dengar, make their first appearance this month. Head to the "new characters" tab above to get a sneak preview of their cards!
That brings the league total of characters up to 68! But more importantly, it also means we now have 64 major-minor decks to use for this summer's singles tournament! So those 64 characters will only have TWO entries in the tournament! There's no telling which character will come out on top!!!
The other big news for this Duel is it's the official league debut of the Death Star board! We used it at the 12x12-way Duel this summer, but this magnificently printed 3-D board has 70 individual tiles that are randomly place on our grid, meaning we'll never play the same layout twice! A big shoutout to Hall of Famer Ryan for once again blessing our league with his brilliance!
