WHAT KIND OF EVENTS DO WE HOST AT SCALLIWAG TOYS?

​One of the best parts of being an FLGS, or "Friendly Local Game Store", is being a hub of activity and community where folks can come and play games of all kinds together. Here at our store, we have tables permanently set up to allow for folks to casually play games, but also to allow for more formal, scheduled events like workshops, tournaments, and more. Some examples of in-store events that we host include:

• Magic the Gathering
  • Prerelease Parties
  • Friday Night Magic
  • Commander casual play
• Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar
  • Casual full-scale matches (pre-scheduled with us please - drop-ins will turned away)
  • Kill Team tournaments
  • Blood Bowl
  • Painting competitions (some elements often done at home)
• Open Gaming - every Thursday!
  • Board games, Magic pick-up games and Commander, anything goes!
• Tabletop Roleplaying Games
  • Dungeons & Dragons
  • DIY custom adventures made by you and your friends
• MORE COMING SOON!
  • ​We are working on becoming a sanctioned play store for the Pokemon Trading Card Game, board game tournaments, and also hope to host workshops and in-store activities related to citizen science / community science, arts & crafts, and more - be sure to follow us on Facebook for your most up-to-date news on what we're up to.
    

MAGIC THE GATHERING COVID PROCEDURES

Do you miss being able to play Magic with your friends in-person? We have come up with a solution that allows for 4 people to sit per table, to a maximum of 16 in our play space. We have built screens with vapour barrier that sit on the tables and allow for players to sit across from one another and still see each others cards (for the most part). It's not perfect, and it's not ideal, but it is the best solution we have right now during the pandemic. All players must still wash hands and sanitize regularly, ensure their area is clean after they leave, and wear a face covering for the duration of their time in the store. We ask players to still socially distance as best as they can when not sitting behind the screens, and to not spectate for the time being (when your game is done, either please stay seated until the next round, or you can walk through the rest of the store where distancing is easier to maintain. Thank you to all our players for continuing to be patient as we find the best solutions!
