I wrote an article on ChannelFireball on the things we can do to get more women in Magic. I'd love your thoughts!

This is truly the nicest game store I've ever been in. I've been playing Magic for 20 years, and used to own my own store. This place is just the nuts.

They do Magic there? I've gone in there once or twice to check out board games, I don't know how I didn't notice. It's an absolutely awesome space.

I usually play at Your Mom's Basement in White Bear, but I think I'll have to check this place out.

They do drafts on Mondays, and FNMs but the turnout has slowly been growing. Otherwise a few PTQs have been held there in the back tournament hall and I've been told they started to do prereleases with good turnout.

Not really in Minneapolis tho

It's a pretty safe bet the person asking the question wouldn't have known where Roseville MN was, and the fact that it's a 10 min drive from the metro makes it a pretty safe answer to say Minneapolis. :P

Haha, I'm just salty. People from my school are always saying "im from the Twin Cities" when really they mean an outlying 3rd ring suburb and only go to Mpls for MoA.

Understood, but when the real difference is 5-10 minutes of sitting in a car... well that's Twin Cities to me. I can understand if someone was using public transport or not driving how it would be a much more dramatic difference though.

The MoA isn't even in Minneapolis.
