Use of Organized Play Materials

This policy covers the use of Organized Play Materials.

Stores are not permitted to sell organized play materials which have been provided by Legend Story Studios for in-store events. Surplus promos, playmats and other materials may be used to support on demand and casual events and must not be used as a sales incentive.

Stores must be able to demonstrate that they have hosted events and distributed the organized play materials to their players and/or judges in accordance with the event guidelines published on Retailer News.


Use of Armory Kit Materials

  • Stores may run up to 4 Armory Events per month
  • Stores may choose to run Armory Events as either Casual or Competitive
  • Casual Armory Events should award the Cold Foil promo card as a random prize draw amongst participants
  • Competitive Armory Events should award the Cold Foil promo card to the first place winner.
  • Rainbow foil promo cards are to be distributed to top-placed players and/or as participation prizes at the store's discretion.
  • Surplus promos, playmats and other materials may be used to support on demand and casual events and must not be used as a sales incentive or sold.

Our Retailer News section of the website will give specific guidance each month for the use of that month’s Armory Kit materials

People's Champion Playmats

The "People's Champion" playmat provided in each Armory Kit is not to be used as a performance based prize. It must be awarded, at the discretion of the retailer, to someone who is bringing positive energy to their local community or as a random prize draw with entry based on Armory Event attendance during the month.
