Date Night Magic is a special Magic the Gathering event for responsible kids (9-14) and their parents itching for a local night out. Located next to some great restaurants and the Alameda theater, parents leave their kids and cell phone contact info, starting at 5:30 p.m. for the games only, and at 5 p.m. if they opt for the kids to have pizza at the store first. The event usually goes until 9 p.m. and kids must be picked up at that point (they can be picked up early).
The event is Draft format, so the kids don't need to bring cards, they build their decks with what they get int the event. The price is $15 and include 3 packs of magic cards (passed from person to person in the draft) and also includes free sleeves (a $3.50 value). There are three round of best 2 out of 3 matches and each match won earns the winner a bonus prize pack. The draft also includes a set of basic sleeves so the kids can keep their cards safe.
Draft and Dinner is $20, and consists of the draft, plus good local Pizza (cheese and Pepperoni), and once basic drink (juice, soda or bottled water) from the case. If you opt to not do the Pizza, please make sure your kid is fed before they get here. They need their brains and good sportsmanship, and both tend to fall by the wayside when kids get hungry.

Only the first 24 are guaranteed a spot, so come in early or reserve a spot ahead of time. Make sure to be here on time, since we will give away spots to kids that are here and on the waiting list to avoid making everybody wait.
Kids must obey the rules of the shop, including refraining from bad language, playing with sportsmanship and grace, and in general being a good duck. If they violate those rules, we will call the parents to have them taken home, and repeated violations will result in being banned from the store. This is a place for having fun, not for being made to feel bad, even if the intention is good natured.
