Kingslayer Games

I played in the Spider-Man Magic: The Gathering pre-release at noon Sept. 20. The location is apparently moving soon and hopefully for the better, because the experience was not pleasant. The space is large, but only a single standalone air-conditioning unit attempts to cool it. Southern California this week is under a heat wave of an unusually (for now) high humidity. I sweat easily, so I thought maybe it was just my personal suffering from the beginning of the event. However, by the third hour of the event, my much physically smaller and healthier opponent of that round was flush red and dripping sweat as well. I did feel the air conditioning in the final hour of the four-hour event, but by then most of the participants were gone. Tip: The AC unit is positioned near the top tables, so perform adequately and you will be OK! Also, I no longer live in Orange County, so only return on occasion to play with friends that still live there. I had signed up to play the prior set’s pre-release but my friend had a medical emergency preventing us from playing. I had called slightly before the event start time to cancel, but they were understandably busy with the actual event, so I was instructed to call back later. I was not reciprocated with similar understanding. Please note that the only thing warm about this place is the physical temperature, not the customer service. Their adherence to their tight return policy is strict. Thankfully, I am fortunate enough to fully absorb the cost of my extenuating circumstances.
