Come and join us on Saturday June 29th for Bakuretsu Con One Day Event: Open Beta. The name Open Beta is to go with this year's Bakuretsu Con theme of MMORPG. This event will be like the one we ran in April with panels, video gaming, table top gaming and plenty of space to hang out. We are currently working on exactly what programming will be running through out the day and plan to do more with contests and prizes. The event will be located at our usual hotel, the Hampton Inn in Colchester Vermont. We will be using the downstairs area at entrance B.

More information coming soon. If you would like to run a panel please use our website contact form and send a message to the PANEL department with the subject "OPEN BETA" and details about your idea.

Trial Deck Scramble:
Play and win as much as possible in the 3 hour time limit. Each victory will be rewarded with a raffle ticket. At the end of the event prizes will be drawn from the raffle tickets. Additional prizes may be given out for best overall record, sportsmanship, etc.

The cost for the event is $5. This is used to fund the prizes as well as to make sure that if any loaned cards are damaged they can be replaced.

Don't have any cards? Don't Worry! We have plenty of Trial Decks for people to try out and even a few to purchase. We only ask that if you are playing with one of our decks, you swap decks after each match, and be nice to the cards.

We are happy to announce that this year's theme for Bakuretsu Convention 2013, is MMO (Massive Multi-player Online). For those of you scratching your heads about why our one day event on April 20th is called a Beta Test Event, this would be why.

We have lots of things lined up to go with our theme for the convention this year. It is going to be a fun year!!
