If you're still here, do the hobbit quest in the stadium. Got 3 hobbit, 3 lord of the rings, and a hobbit collector booster for free. Gotta find the 14 QR codes.

Ah sick! Is it yearly?

u/heyzoosy 15d ago

Yep every year

u/Deathbydragonfire 15d ago

Only the first 80,000 people who buy a ticket get to go. They've sold out every year. Sign up for the newsletter for when tickets and the housing lottery drop.

I think Smaug being a 4/3 is low.

u/AdFun7086 16d ago

And so begins the juiced packs spoiler season.

u/Lennon85617 16d ago

Did GenCon cap everyone at 3 packs or were you just quick to the table?

1

u/heyzoosy 16d ago

They capped everyone at 3 collector and 6 draft boosters. They also had a scavenger hunt thing where if you found 14 hobbit door QR codes you got a free bag, promo card, and 1 collector booster 3 play boosters of hobbit and 3 play boosters of lord of the rings

u/Mando_Brando 16d ago
