Here is everything you need to know to join the Kardboard Korner crew for our favorite tradition.

While we primarily operate as an online shop, we love bringing the local community together. We’ll be hosting after-hours at our usual haunt:

Mr. Gyros 9229 S. Cicero Ave

Oak Lawn, IL 60453

⏰ When is the kickoff?

Friday, March 20th, 2026 The main event starts at Midnight, but the doors open at 10:00 PM.

  • Early Birds: Come hang out for some casual play or trading.

  • New Players: If you’ve never played FFTCG, show up early! We’ll be running demos and teaching the basics before the tournament starts.

🏆 How do I win?

We’ve been hosting these since Opus XIV, and we like to make sure everyone leaves happy.

  • The Grand Prize: Come in 1st place and you’ll walk away with an extra Prerelease Kit! * Top 4: We’ve got prize support locked in for our top finishers.

  • Additional Kits: $45 each for those looking to stock up.

Why attend?

Aside from being the first to crack open Dreamlike Oceans, it’s about the atmosphere. There’s something special about grinding through a tournament until 3:00 AM with a group of people who love the game as much as you do.

Rebellion’s Call Pre-Release Midnight Event

Another Pre-release, another Midnight event.

Get your hands on some Rebellion’s Call before the actual release. How? Just show up and join us for our Midnight Pre-Release Event on Friday – August 5th. Technically the event isn’t till the 6th but it will be the 6th once the clock strikes midnight.

Everyone can start showing up at 10PM for some casual play until everyone is set to play.

You should already know the rules but for those who don’t, well here’s your chance to figure out what’s going on.
Everyone gets their Kit, and must build their deck. We’ll have about 30 minutes for this. After that, we dive into the games. Standard tournament 30 minute rounds. And, that is pretty much it.

We’ll have prizes as well. Depending on how many people show up will determine the prizes. All that is certain is First place will receive another Pre-Release Kit, and a shiny Promo card. After that we’ll see what we have on offer. But the top 8 will walk away with something.

$45 for your first Kit and spot in the tournament.

After that each kit will be $40.

Where is this at?

Mr. Gyros
9229 S. Cicero
Oak Lawn, IL 60453

Show up any time after 10PM, if you want some food come by earlier as the kitchen will close at 10.

We look forward to seeing you there.
