Cody took the prize again for July, winning a record 45 games in the month of July against other local Magic the Gathering players. Games played on Mondays and Fridays at Big Robot Game Cafe count towards the monthly totals. Cody has a great artifact deck and a couple other good decks, but he’s always willing to take time out from gaming to teach new players the ins and outs of the game, which can be complicated.

Drop by to play - we have introductory card decks for new players, allowing them to learn the game in a matter of minutes, and booster packs, which allow more experienced players to “pump up” their existing decks or explore some of the new game dynamics introduced with the latest edition, Eventide, which was released on Friday, July 25th.

The new August Standings will start up on August 1st with all games being played in Big Robot counting towards the overall monthly totals. Drop in and play! Big Robot Game Cafe is located at 114 East Main Street in beautiful downtown Tipp City, Ohio.

I was surfing the web and just saw this - Electronic Arts is indeed working on a KOTOR online MMO. Can’t wait to play it - but I hope it’s better that SW Galaxies! Pre or post-patch, that game didn’t work. Hopefully having BioWare on board will make it better…EA to Play in Knights of the Old Republic
