Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Back in the day, we had Life, Clue, Stay Alive, Connect Four, and, if feeling adventurous, Monopoly. We sure didn’t know of any competitive arena for our board-game time-killers.
Today, Yu-Gi-Oh! — a trading-card meta-game based on a fictional competition that drives the plot of the popular Japanese anime series – takes childhood pastimes to a new level. Hundreds of youngsters and not-so-youngsters (many undoubtedly dressed as Yu-Gi-Oh! characters) will descend upon Phoenix Convention Center for the Cascade Games, a regional qualifier for the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships. The top four players advance to the national finals.
The tournament starts at 10 a.m. and costs $15 to enter.
