For those of you who don’t know, the Good Games Championships is run every year across all the Good Games stores between Australia and the United States of America.

The Championships are designed to reward our players for doing what they love- playing their favourite TCG at Good Games!

Players accrue points when they play in tournaments for either Yu-Gi-Oh! or Magic: The Gathering. As you get more points, you unlock more prizes!

The your play, the more chances you have of getting more points!

The Good Games Championship is free of charge- outside of your regular tournament entry cost, there is no additional cost at all to cover the tens of thousands of dollars of product we’re giving away!

This wouldn’t be possible without our amazing sponsors!

So, if you’re just hearing about the GGC, is it too late for you to sign up?

Not at all!
