Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Prerelease at Three Mountain Games

Assemble Your Deck. Choose Your Hero. Join the Battle.

The Marvel Universe is coming to Magic: The Gathering, and Three Mountain Games is ready for prerelease weekend!

Join us June 19, 20, and 21 for the Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Prerelease, where players will get their first chance to crack packs, build decks, and battle with cards inspired by some of Marvel’s most iconic heroes and villains.

Whether you are a longtime Magic player, a Marvel fan curious about the game, or someone who loves the excitement of a new set, prerelease weekend is one of the best times to jump in.

What Is a Magic Prerelease?

A prerelease is a special event where players get to experience a new Magic: The Gathering set before its official release. Each player receives prerelease product, builds a deck from the cards they open, and plays in a fun, casual tournament-style event.

You do not need to have a deck ready ahead of time. The fun is opening new cards, seeing what you get, and building something on the spot.

Prereleases are also some of the most welcoming Magic events because everyone is learning the new cards together. It is a great environment for experienced players and newer players alike.

Magic Meets Marvel

Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes brings the energy, action, and larger-than-life characters of Marvel into the strategy and deckbuilding of Magic.

Expect big moments, dramatic plays, familiar faces, and plenty of excitement as heroes and villains clash across the table. If you have ever wanted to see what happens when the Marvel Universe enters the world of Magic, this is the weekend to be here.

Dungeons & Dragons League Begins Thursday, June 18 at Three Mountain Games

The mists are rising, the castle waits in the distance, and adventure is calling.

Three Mountain Games is excited to launch our Dungeons & Dragons League on Thursday nights starting June 18 at 6pm. Whether you are brand new to Dungeons & Dragons, a longtime adventurer, or someone who has always wanted to try but never knew where to start, this is a great chance to sit down at the table and begin your next story.

For the first month, our D&D League will take players into the shadowed lands of Ravenloft’s Domains of Dread. These adventures are filled with gothic horror, mystery, danger, and those unforgettable moments that make tabletop roleplaying games so much fun. Expect eerie settings, difficult choices, strange characters, and plenty of opportunities for heroes to rise against the darkness.

New Players Are Welcome

One of the best things about Dungeons & Dragons is that you do not need years of experience to enjoy it. You do not need to know every rule. You do not need to have the perfect character ready. You just need a little imagination and a willingness to jump into the adventure.

Our Dungeons & Dragons League is open to all age and experience levels. If you have never played before, we can help you get started. If you have played for years, this is a great way to meet new players, try new characters, and enjoy a consistent night of adventure.

The goal is simple: create a fun, welcoming place where players can gather, roll dice, tell stories, and face whatever waits in the mist.

Adventures in Ravenloft’s Domains of Dread

Ravenloft is one of the most iconic settings in Dungeons & Dragons. It is a place of haunted castles, cursed lands, tragic villains, and creeping shadows. The Domains of Dread are not just dangerous because of the monsters that lurk there. They are dangerous because every choice matters, every secret has weight, and every hero may be tested in ways they never expected.

For our first month of D&D League, players will step into that world and experience adventures built around gothic fantasy and dark mystery. It is the perfect setting for players who love atmosphere, suspense, and stories that feel a little different from a standard dungeon crawl.

Free Dice for Participants

To celebrate the start of Dungeons & Dragons League, all participants will receive a free pack of dice.

There is something special about having your own dice at the table. Maybe they roll high when it matters. Maybe they betray you at the worst possible time. Either way, they become part of the story.

A Welcoming Place to Learn Board Games, Card Games, and Tabletop Games

Learning a new board game, trading card game, or tabletop game can feel overwhelming at first. Rulebooks can be long, online videos can move too fast, and sometimes it is hard to know whether a game is actually right for your group until you play it.

That is where a local game store can make all the difference.

At Three Mountain Games, we believe games are easier to learn when you are sitting at a table with someone who can walk you through the basics, answer questions, and help you get playing without pressure.

Learning a Game Is Easier When Someone Teaches It

One of the biggest advantages of a local game store is having someone available to teach you the game.

Instead of trying to decode a rulebook on your own, you can ask:

“What do I do first?”
“How does a turn work?”
“What should I focus on as a new player?”

A good demo does not need to explain every rule at once. It should get you started, help you understand the flow of the game, and let the details make sense as you play.

That is one reason learning in person can be so helpful. You are not just reading rules. You are experiencing the game.

You Can Ask Questions in Real Time

When learning from a video or rulebook, it is easy to get stuck on one small detail. Maybe a card interaction does not make sense. Maybe a scoring rule is confusing. Maybe you understand the basics but are not sure what makes the game fun yet.

At a local game store, you can ask questions as they come up.

That matters because new players often do not need a full rules lecture. They need someone to say:

“Here is the simple version.”
“Do not worry about that yet.”
“This will make more sense after your first turn.”

That kind of guidance can turn a confusing first experience into a fun one.

You Can Try Before You Buy

Buying a game without playing it first can be a gamble. A box might look great, but that does not always mean it fits your family, friend group, or play style.

Local game stores help remove some of that guesswork.

At Three Mountain Games, we can help you find games based on what you actually enjoy. Are you looking for something quick? Something competitive? Something cooperative? Something good for kids? Something that works for adults but is still easy to teach?

Being able to talk through those questions makes it much easier to find the right game.

Local Game Stores Help Match Games to People

One of the best parts of visiting a local game store is getting a recommendation that fits your actual situation.

There is a big difference between asking:

“What is the best game?”

and asking:

“What is the best game for my family of four, with two kids, that plays in under an hour?”

That second question is where a local game store shines.

A good recommendation is not about pushing the biggest or most expensive game. It is about helping you find something that will actually hit the table and get played.

You Can Learn Alongside Other Players

Games are social, and learning them can be social too.

Many local game stores host events, demos, leagues, and casual game nights where people can learn together. That is especially helpful if you are interested in learning card games, roleplaying games, miniature games, or board games that benefit from a group.

You do not need to already be an expert to attend. In fact, local game stores are often one of the best places to start because there are other players learning too.

The first step is usually just showing up and saying, “I am new. How do I get started?”

A Local Game Store Gives You a Place to Play

One challenge with tabletop games is finding space and people to play with. A local game store helps with both.

Instead of buying a game and hoping your group likes it, you can join events, meet other players, and see what people are playing. Over time, that helps you discover new games you may never have found on your own.

That is part of what makes a local game store different from buying online. The store is not just a checkout button. It is a place where the hobby happens.

You Get a More Welcoming Start

Everyone starts somewhere.

Whether you are learning your first modern board game, building your first Magic: The Gathering deck, trying Pokémon League for the first time, or exploring Dungeons & Dragons, it helps to have a welcoming place to begin.

At Three Mountain Games, we want new players to feel comfortable asking questions. You do not need to know the rules before you walk in. You do not need to know the right terms. You do not need to already have a group.

You just need curiosity.

Local Stores Build Confidence

The first time you learn a new game, it can feel like a lot. But after someone teaches you the basics, walks you through a turn, and helps you understand what is happening, the game starts to click.

That confidence matters.

Once you learn one game, the next one becomes easier. Then another. Before long, you are not just buying games. You are building a hobby.

That is the real value of learning at a local game store.

Visit Three Mountain Games to Learn Something New

If you are interested in learning a new game, stop into Three Mountain Games and ask us where to start.

We can help you find beginner-friendly board games, explain the basics of trading card games, point you toward upcoming events, or teach you something new at the table.

Whether you are brand new or getting back into gaming after years away, we are happy to help.

Because the best way to learn a new game is not alone with a rulebook.  It is at the table.  Join us on Tuesday Night for Board Game Night starting at 5:30pm.
