Dark Tower Games has been chosen to host a preview event for the Conspiracy: Take the Crown game from the Magic: The Gathering franchise on August 20, 2016. Only seven locations worldwide will be previewing the game before general release. Dark Tower Games is one of two locations in the United States selected for this event. The game will be released to the public on August 26, 2016.
Employee Aaron Wallace said, “One shop out of seven locations in the world, one of only two in the United States, with fifty-six total players for this event. I’ve got more than 20 years playing games, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Dark Tower Games will have a live preview event with 8 players, 3 of which will be chosen by nomination from the community. All 8 players will be among the first to see the new cards for the game; the event will be live-streamed on Twitch and Twitter.
Tabletop gaming in all forms has seen a revival in recent years, boosted by popular internet shows like Tabletop and Critical Role. Stores routinely stock a greater variety of games, with a greater focus on storytelling and imagination than simple mechanics. Magic: The Gathering has been published by Wizards of the Coast since 1993, and has an estimated 20 million players as of 2015, making it one of the most popular games in the world. Dark Tower Games regularly hosts Magic: The Gathering tournaments and game nights for the local community.
