Questions about Mana on Tap at Fortress

Questions about Mana on Tap at Fortress

Do I need a ticket to join Mana on Tap?

Not at all! Just walk in on Friday night from 6pm and start playing!

What formats can I play?

We welcome all skill types and game modes! All formats are not just welcome but celebrated – whether you’re a Pauper prodigy, Modern maven or a Standard savant, there’s a seat at the table for every Magic enthusiast.

Can I buy cards on the night?

While we don't sell Magic: The Gathering cards, we do have decks for you to borrow to practice and learn, and you can definitely bring your own! Some of our experienced players may even enjoy sharing their decks with you on the night allowing you to try tons of different strategies!

I can’t make it on Fridays, can I play Magic on another day?

Of course! Come in on any day to play Magic in our Tavern. While on Fridays we host Mana on Tap for the community you can always come in with your friends to play any day! This event is a great way to meet new people and to start your own groups but our Tavern is also a great place to meet up and play.

Can minors join for Mana on Tap?

Unfortunately minors are not allowed in the venue past 8:00 pm. Due to this the event itself is strictly 18+. Please check out our Minors Policy for more information: https://fortress.games/minors

What if I want to play competitively?

That's fine too, so long as everyone at the table is on board for a cEDH or other competitive format game. Our goal is that this event introduces both new and old players of all different skill levels to come together. The most important thing is to have fun! Experienced players should be flexible with the varying skill levels and our hosts will also be making sure no one is coming in to take advantage of the wide variety of deck strengths.

How do I find the right table for me?

Between the other players and our event hosts we’ll make sure everyone has a place on the night. We highly recommend pre-game chats and socialising to find the best fit of players that you wish to play against this week. If you’re a veteran player, with plenty of decks, have a go at moving between tables to meet more people. You might even be able to teach your favourite strategy to a new player looking to find their niche. Boom, friendship!
