In-Store Events

In-store events play an integral role in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Organized Play. With Seasonal Kits, players are rewarded for participation of all kinds, as game stores may use these kits for casual play or host in-store tournaments with official prize support. With three four-month seasons each year (Spring, Summer, and Winter), players can find a variety of game nights, tournaments, and leagues at their local stores. Seasonal events are the perfect place for newer players to take part in organized tournaments and for experienced players to explore the mysteries of Rokugan with new decks.

Elemental Championships and Elemental Challenges Elemental Challenges are exciting, high-level tournaments that allow the samurai of Rokugan to influence their clans’ connections to the kami and the elemental rings. Elemental Challenges run at conventions and similar events and feature a set number of Swiss rounds. These events feed into the larger Elemental Championships, which run at select retailers and allow players to influence their clans’ selection of elemental roles. There are two phases of Elemental Championships each year, and the prize support for these events refreshes each phase.
