Lorcana Demo

At this months event we have a great opportunity for you as one of the local Lorcana players joins us for this epc event to put on some fun Lorcana Demos for you to enjoy.
Head on down and dive into the magic of the Disney universe with this clever trading card game that focuses more on accruing Lore than defeating your opponents cards. Make the most of your inkwell to play cards and develop your strategy. At this event you will have the opportunity to dive into the newest Lorcana: Illumineer's Quest the Palace Heist and face off against the powerful Jafar in a co-operative gaming experience. In the game Jafar has reforged the broken Hexwell Crown, a Jafar glimmer has transformed into the formidable Supreme Sorcerer of Lorcana. It's now up to you to sneak into his stronghold and snatch the Reforged Crown before he becomes all-powerful. The aim in the quest is to steal back the crown and overthrow Jafar. Whether you face off against Jafar alone or with a friend, this adventure will surely be a (sand) blast.
Group Game

Are you ready to put your art skills to the test? This July at 6 PM, join us for an exhilarating group game of A Fake Artist Goes to New York! Whether you're a budding artist or a novice in the arts, this game promises fun for everyone as you try to uncover the fake artist among your friends!
This engaging game accommodates 5 to 10 players, so gather your friends or make new ones on the spot! To secure your spot, simply sign up at The Gaming Circus stand. Our fantastic session will be led by our skilled demonstrator, Emily, who will expertly guide you through the rules and strategies. Each game lasts about 20 minutes, but the excitement doesn’t have to stop there! After your first game, feel free to join additional rounds for even more fun! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity and enjoy a night of laughter and friendly competition. We can’t wait to see you there!
