Compete in a Store Championship at your favorite local game store and vie for the title of Store Champion!
Store Championships are your chance to play in a larger event, win exclusive prizes and meet new friends, all while playing your favorite game in a friendly tournament. Click on your favorite game below for more information about the prizes you could win and the fun that awaits you at one of these local events!
Running a Store Championship is a great way to strengthen your local community or help build one with our Quarterly Kits. Just as Store Championships are a stepping stone toward Regional Championships for players, hosting a Store Championship is a great way to improve a retailer's chances to be selected to host a Regional Championship later in the year!
How Do I Order a Store Championship Kit?
Every interested game store in good standing with Fantasy Flight Games can pre-order one Store Championship Kit for each supported game, each year. Pre-orders for Store Championship Kits take place around the middle and end of each year, depending on the game they support. All pre-orders outside of the U.S. are handled by our regional partners around the world. We encourage all retailers experienced or interested in running events for our games to pre-order kits.
What Comes in a Store Championship Kit?
Each Store Championship Kit contains everything needed to host an incredible tournament for your players.
- Alternate art cards for the Top 32 players. (Any extra copies are distributed at the end of the Swiss rounds, in order of the tournament's final rankings.)
- Deck boxes featuring game art, playmats, tokens, plastic spot-glossed cards, or other special items as additional prizes. These are awarded at the Top 8, Top 4, and Top 2 prize tiers.
- Plaque and Regional Championship bye card for the Store Champion.
- Info Sheet and Event Outline with instructions on how to organize your tournament.
- Each kit also contains an extra copy of each Store Championship prize—except the plaque and bye card—for organizers to keep or distribute at their discretion. The exact contents of each Store Championship Kit will be previewed closer to the start of each Store Championship season. 2017 Store Championship prizes can be found on the prize page.
Store Championship Kits also have two copies of the World Championship alternate art card for the kit's corresponding game. These cards are included to support a fun World Championship Celebration event in your store, possibly including the livestream from the World Championships!
What is a World Championship Celebration?
The Championship Series starts with Store Championships in local retail stores around the world and culminates with the World Championship here in Roseville, MN. Thanks to the timing of Store Championships and World Championships, retailers have a unique opportunity each year to draw players into their store by offering a fun event during a game's World Championship, using the two alternate art World Championship cards included in each Store Championship Kit. These events can be whatever works best for the retailer and the local community: a simple tournament, casual play, trivia contest, or any other creative idea! We also encourage retailers to show the livestream from the World Championship and ensure that attendees are informed and prepared for the date of the retailer's upcoming Store Championship tournament.
