It’s time! The gaming world is about to descend on Melbourne for all things video and tabletop gaming. For the second year in a row, TAK Games will be there conducting Dragon Ball Z TCG demonstrations and Learn to Play events. This year we’ll be adding Panini’s brand new game, Afterworld TCG, to the mix!

If you are attending PAX, please drop by our booth at TT730 and say hello!

Every day at PAX will see three Learn to Play Dragon Ball Z TCG sealed events kick off. For $35 entry, players will receive a starter and 3 booster packs. Everyone will receive a prize for playing, and there will be plenty of cool prizes up for grabs including Dragon Ball Z playmats, deck boxes, sleeves and more!

Already know how to play Dragon Ball Z TCG and want to throw down with Australia’s best? Gunslinging will be available all weekend. Come and challenge Worlds invitees Fahad and David to a game! Help them power up for Worlds! Australia’s Ruthless master, Tobye, will also be available for gunslinging challenges. Bring your own deck or use one of ours! Gunslinging prizes are guaranteed regardless of results!

Cosplaying as Goku or Master Roshi? Looking to catch all the Dragon Balls (pins) at PAX? Turn up to our booth in a Dragon Ball Z inspired cosplay and receive a free starter deck of Awakening (while stocks last).

If you’re interested in checking out Afterworld, demos and learn to play tournaments will be running on demand all weekend! Win playmats, binders, art prints and promos!

Calling all volunteers!

We’d love your help at PAX. If you would like to provide support in the form of conducting demos for new players, please let us know!

Volunteers will be rostered on for up to two 3-hour shifts each day they are available. Volunteers will receive an entry pass to check out the rest of PAX on the days they are rostered on.

If you would like to volunteer, please email us at dbz@tak-games.com.au and provide us with the times and days you are available.

We can’t wait to enjoy this awesome gaming weekend!

Game on!
