The Mane Six just trotted into Downtown San Diego, and we're hosting an open learn-to-play night for the brand-new My Little Pony Trading Card Game from Kayou and Hasbro. Whether you grew up on Friendship is Magic, have a kid who's been asking about it, or just want to try a new TCG that's quick to pick up (games run 20–30 minutes), this is the easiest possible on-ramp.

When you sign up, you pick your pony: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, or Applejack. Your $19.99 entry covers the full 70-card starter deck (ready to play right out of the box) plus the three Fantasy Wonderland booster packs that come with it. We'll walk everyone through the basics, then it's a casual play-whoever-you-want format. No brackets, no pressure — find a friend, swap opponents, take a snack break, do it again. Twelve seats total, ages 10 and up, and the deck and cards are yours to keep.
