Introducing the Junior Planeswalker Society – A Magic Program for Young People
Wednesday, September 14th, 2016
The Junior Planeswalker Society is Battleground’s new program that is designed specifically to provide a fun, safe environment for kids who are interested playing or learning the trading card game Magic: The Gathering.
We believe tabletop games develop social skills and strategic thinking, and Battleground wants to help make these games available and accessible to the community. The Junior Planeswalkers Society aims to create a group setting to support young players, where they can make friends and improve their critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving skills. Our staff will be on hand to help, teach, coach, introduce, and play. No experience required!
The Junior Planeswalker Society will meet every Friday from 4:00pm – 7:00pm beginning October 7th.
Contact:
Chase@battlegroundgames.co
508-316-1195
This is a TOTALLY FREE event that will offer a structured, casual environment for young people to play Magic in, meet new people, and develop their skills.
The Junior Planeswalker Society will be taking place at both Battleground locations.
Please email, post, or call with questions.
Come play!

Behind The Shield – Episode 14 – “A Friday the 13th Spooktacular”
Friday, May 13th, 2016
It’s Friday the 13th! So you know what that means! Okay, it doesn’t mean much. It’s just another week and another episode. But there are some exciting things that Andrew and I do talk about like Captain America, Eternal Masters, and more. Andrew’s even working on a board game that I get excited about; maybe more than him? HAHA
Ps. You’re reading the title correctly, it says episode 14. What happened to episode 13? Maybe it’s bad luck or maybe it’s locked away in Prince’s vault. It exists, but no one is sure where it is…
Also, if you’re interested in registering for the Eternal Masters events, here’s the link we talk about: http://bit.ly/1R1pzaI

‘Sword and Shield’ – Episode 2 – “It’s a Conspiracy!”
Friday, February 26th, 2016
Hey everyone! We’re back with another episode of Sword and Shield. I guess some of you actually liked it, so we did another episode. This week, we’ve got Andrew Pegg-Wheat. If you’ve ever ordered a card from the store and recieved it by mail, Andrew is the guy who probably packed the card for you and shipped it. On this week’s episode, we talk about some Pokemon, Netrunner, and then tackle Conspiracy 2: The Empty Throne. However, Wizards has been having fun and changed the name again. Now it’s Conspiracy 2: Empty Throne!
Also in this episode, my mic sounded low. I’m always working on perfecting the sound quality, so let me know if you have any suggesstion (or if you want to buy me some professional equipment). Anyways, sit back and enjoy the show. Don’t forget to share it with your friends as well!
