Mimic's Market Cards & Games

Hey folks! 

It’s been a lovely start to the year so far, and we want to thank y’all for a great 2024, our first full year! With everything going on right now, we know how important it is to have a place to get away, play a game, and just enjoy yourself. With that, we thought what better time to get back into the habit of publishing these little newsletters to keep everyone updated with what the month ahead looks like, and what’s new on our shelves!

 

DRIFT INTO MAGIC!

Magic the Gathering jumps from the past with Innistrad Remastered to our first brand new set of 2025, with the hotly anticipated Aetherdrift! As we race towards the full release on February 14th, you all get to jump the start with three different pre-release events, starting with our Friday Night Magic event on February 7th, with competitive prizing. For a more casual vibe we’ll have 2 more pre-release events the next day, at 12:30 PM and 5:30 PM with flat prizing. 

And as always, Pauper Monday, Draft Friday, and Commander league on Sundays all month! 

POKEMON LEAGUE CUP!

Pokemon trainers! Join us on Saturday, February 15th for our most competitive pokemon event, the Bloomfield league cup! Starting at Noon sharp, we have capacity for 18 trainers to duke it out for bragging rights and prizing! Swiss Rounds, best of 1, and top cut plays out 70 minute best of 3 rounds! Win overall in the Master’s Division to get immortalized on our new plaque we have up near the front register! 

And as always, you can join for more causal Pokemon battling every Tuesday night at 6 PM! 

Never A Better Time to Join a Game!

Whether you’re new to TTRPGs, looking to try a new board game you’ve heard so much about, or are just looking to get out and do something new, there’s never been a better time to come out to Mimics and play! Joining our long running Monday and Wednesday night Pathfinder games, we have a new beginner friendly D&D game open to all happening every other week on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Plus, as always, our board game library is open to all every thursday from 6 to close! 

And as always, our Morsels games are a perfect way to play a one-shot or other low commitment TTRPG! We have a full schedule of games this month with games being $7 ($5 if you register online!) and also have several free RPGS, including a recurring playtest of Outside Us Nothing, a new RPG. 

Morsels wise we have!

On February 5th at 6 PM we have Slugblasters, a look back to a wacky alternate 2012 where you play as a group of teenagers exploring their own dimension, and trying to learn to kickflip!

On February 11th and 25th we will be hosting XCrawl classic once again! The former date is a Free game and the latter a Morsels game. No RPG experience necessary, and open to all! Reach out to Comradecrab on our discord if you have any questions about what to expect in this Free RPG night! 

Starting on the 12th, we’ll be hosting weekly playtests for Outside Us Nothing, a still-in-testing rules-light dicepool RPG with an anarchist sci-fi twist! 18+, first come first served, or reserve a spot online

On February 15th we have Last Train to Breman which is a storytelling game of doomed musicians and poor decisions! Game starts at 6 PM! 

Also on the 15th we have a D&D one-shot called Wild Sheep Chase, which is perfect to drop in with a pre-rolled character! Also starting at 6 PM! 

On the 18th, at 6 PM, we have Border Riding, a GM-less map drawing game, all about creating communities, figuring out what makes them unique, and dealing with the ideas of ‘community’ and ‘otherness’ 

On the 21st, at 6PM, we have Goblin errands, a game for 2-4 goblins, and one tall person, which is a No-Prep RPG where you struggle to do everyday tasks in a world made for those far taller, and smarter, than you. 

On the 22nd at 6 we have a Call of Cthulhu free game! Reach out to mustard_god on our discord for more information about this free session! 

NEW ARRIVALS! 

Have you checked out our new arrivals section at the front of the store lately? Whether it’s a brand new game, or just new to us, we’re highlighting the things we’re excited about right now in one handy little section! Highlights of the last few weeks include:

Near and Far is the sequel to Above and Below, and is another game by Ryan Laukat where up to four players can explore many different maps in a search for the Last Ruin, recruiting adventurers, hunting for treasure, and competing to be the most storied traveler. 

Let’s Hit Each Other with Fake Swords a new game from the folks at Exploding Kittens, where players battle each other with Fake Swords to claim cards and work their way to victory! 

Arcs is the next exciting game from Leder Games, the folks behind Root. Arcs is a Sci-Fi space opera for 2-4 players set in a dark but silly universe. Like all other Leder games, Arcs is a beautiful game with wonderful art and great design elements. 

That’s all for this month! Please share our newsletter around and feel free to let us know what else we can do to improve it!

Love, Jordan
