Dark Star Gaming are proud to announce our (confusingly titled) second annual Store Championships for Android: Netrunner! Last year has been fantastic for our Netrunner scene and looks to be continuing with no limit!

As is traditional we're holding off as late as is reasonable. If you really want that bye and haven't been able to grab one, look no further! We also reason that by this time everyone should have had a good chance to play with and become familiar with the last pack of the cycle, and thus our tournament should hopefully be most likely well rounded for participants.

For those not familiar with the prize pool:

• Top 32: An alternate-art version of the ever useful PAD Campaign asset, depicting a happy family all ignoring eachother over dinner.
• Top 8: A handsome Anarch-themed deckbox to hold your decks.
• Top 4: The return of the playmats! A richly coloured, matching playmat featuring the artwork for the Anarch card 'Run Amok'.
• Top 2: A large acrylic token for use with the core-set card Femme Fatale to easily track which troublesome ice you've 'seduced'.
• First Place: In addition to the first-round bye card to ease you into a regional, this year you will also receive a beautiful printed plaque for your mantlepiece. So you can awkwardly explain what a 'Living Card Game' is to uninitiated friends and family! (We've all been there.)

Entry fee will be £10, no need to pre-book but if you do want to please just post on the Dark Star Gaming Facebook group!

Joking aside, Netrunner events last year were all joys to run and without a shadow of insincerity I must say meeting new people in the community is the real reward and I anticipate this year will be no different.

For those of you who haven't yet visited our store since we moved mid-last year you will no doubt be pleasantly surprised. Our floor space is much greater, we have a functioning toilet (disabled friendly no less!), and we are located near the very beautiful and historic Barbican area of Plymouth.

If all these factors can't persuade you to come visit on the 18th of February to play some Netrunner, I don't know what will!
