Learn to Play Heroclix
DESCRIPTION
Heroclix is a collectible miniatures game. Players build teams of comic book heroes, villains, and other characters from popular video games such as Street Fighter, Gears of War, and Halo. Players play out a battle between teams turn-by-turn on a grid map.
Learn the basics of Heroclix at this come-and-go event. No registration is required. No prior experience with Heroclix is necessary. And you do not need to bring or buy any Heroclix. We will have a table set up in store, and Mike Hintze (a volunteer and long-time Heroclix player) will walk you through the basics.
Anyone that visits the table and Mike will receive a free Heroclix fig courtesy of ComicReaders Downtown (while supplies last).

Thanks to everyone that came to the Sunday Pre-Release events. Sunday is always a smaller but no less enthusiastic crowd. Congrats to Merv who cracked the final seal on our second Helvault. Pictures still forthcoming.

Our Saturday Pre-Release was a big success. We ran three events between the hours of 10am and 8:30pm, with more than 80 players over the course of the day. The Helvault was opened in round three (if memory serves me correctly) in the first event, with the honours going to Steve Mock who cracked the last seal. I took some pictures and will have those up on the ComicReaders Downtown Facebook page this evening or Monday morning.
With so many players over concurrent events there were a couple hiccups and I want to thank all participants for their patience and understanding when we had to do a new pairings.
Since Saturday was such a success how about we do it all again today (Sunday)?
see you at 10am.
