Just to get it out there, who would be interested in a tournament of the new GI Joe card game at the next meet? There will be tutorials for anyone that has a deck but hasn't had a chance to play yet, and Mike's brought in packs for anyone that watches the demo games and is interested in playing. I could help with deck building for the new players, but options will naturally be limited unless you buy a box of boosters.
A game plays in at most ten minutes, so a bracket tournament could be finished in an hour. It won't take too large a chunk out of the meet, so don't worry about missing out on the socializing, trading, and the other events Mike has on tap for us.
