What to Prepare

  • If you are bringing your own deck, please label it on the back to differentiate it from other players' cards
  • Let us know which cards you have learned before the meetup if you are still learning (this will help us prepare mini matches and increase the number of matches everyone can play!)
  • You can also bring a knee mat and/or a small towel to protect your knees from the floor
  • Feel free to bring water and snacks!
