On October 15th, 2003, Alternate Universes opened its doors to the gamers of Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Now, twenty years later, we have three stores in the Philadelphia area, an online store, and a wonderful thriving community. We have seen generations of gamers walk through our doors. We can only hope that over the years we’ve given the community something close to what you’ve given us.
Since your twentieth birthday only comes once, and many stores like ours don’t make it to this point, we want to celebrate in a big way. That’s why we’re announcing our weeklong 20th Anniversary Celebration!
From October 15th–21st, we’re celebrating 20 years with the following:
A BIG 20th ANNIVERSARY SALE!
20% off EVERYTHING – excluding booster boxes, singles, entry fees, Magic: the Gathering – Doctor Who Commander decks, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Age of Overlord. Everything else will be on sale. Everything. Else.
BOOSTER BOX GIVEAWAYS DURING WEEKLY TOURNAMENTS!
We’re giving away a booster box at EVERY weekly tournament that takes place Oct. 15th–21st.
This applies to ALL of our local tournaments, for ALL of our games, regardless of the number of participants. This includes Lorcana. Each booster box will be given away to a random player, each will be a box of the latest set of that game, and only people playing in the tournament will be able to win.
SPECIAL 20th ANNIVERSARY TOURNAMENTS!
