Gundam Card Game Tournament at On-Board Gaming - Escondido
Nobody in your life has ever asked to see the kit on your shelf. You spent eleven hours on panel lines and nub marks that exactly one other person on earth would notice, and you have quietly made peace with the hobby being solitary - you, building a thing, late, alone, because the shapes mean something you cannot put into words without sounding ridiculous.
The card game is far newer than the mecha, and it did something nobody expected: it put those builders in chairs facing each other. Tuesday at 6:30 in Escondido the tables turn over fast, because Lorcana is wrapping up at the next one and Star Wars: Legion has had the back of the shop since 5. You will overhear three unrelated fandoms arguing rules within ten feet of each other, which is the real texture of the night and the reason the regulars turn up at 6 instead of 6:30.
The shop sits at 316 W Mission Ave, suite 117, and the Tuesday crowd skews people who have followed this franchise since somebody else's childhood. At some point somebody will ask what you built. It may be the first time anyone has.
