May 23, 2018: The Desolation Of Blarg Prereleases And Learn-To-Play Events

Are you excited about The Desolation of Blarg expansion – and you just can't wait to get your hands on Blarg himself (and other great new cards)? Or maybe you just need a learn-to-play event for you or your friends? Either way, these events are for you! Each of the following The Desolation of Blarg Prerelease Events is preceded by a learn-to-play event. 

The Desolation of Blarg comes out May 30, but if you're in one of the following areas, you can play it earlier! Most of these have limited seating, so get signed up today! 

If you don't live in one of these areas, never fear. We've got The Desolation of Blarg Release Events the weekend of June 8 all over the U.S. and Canada.
