The National Festival runs all weekend alongside the championship

Pre-registration strongly recommended.
Main track
Side events
National Festival weekend isn't just for qualified players. Across the three days we're running a full slate of side events on two parallel tracks — Constructed (Classic Constructed, Silver Age) and Limited (Booster Draft, Sealed) — so anyone showing up to Sod Games Andenne over the weekend has a tournament to jump into. All side events are open to everyone, qualified or not.
Featured event — Super Silver Age, Saturday 16:30: double the buy-in, double the tix, 4 Swiss rounds. The perfect WCQ Silver Age warm-up the night before Sunday, and the natural way to close out Saturday once Day 1 wraps up. Open to everyone — qualified, eliminated, or just passing through.
What are tixs?
Side event prizes are paid in tix, our weekend currency. Win rounds, stack tix. Cash them in at the on-site Prize Wall whenever you want during the weekend: boosters from our entire stock, sleeves, playmats, promos, singles and a few surprises. Base rate is 40 tix for a booster (50 tix for Compendium of Rathe). Tix are poolable between players, so you can team up with a friend to grab a bigger reward, a bit of a Calling vibe.
They're only valid on-site during the National Festival weekend, so spend them before you leave.
Buying and Selling singles
Buying and selling Flesh and Blood cards all weekend.
Our buy desk is open throughout the National Festival: bring your FAB singles and collection for an on-the-spot offer, or browse our singles, sealed product and accessories. Whether you're hunting a missing piece for your deck or cashing out cards you no longer play, we've got you covered all weekend long.
