$3,600 is up for grabs at Storm the Block, at the United Arab Emirates! There are 2 card duelers, the All Time Wrestling game we previously reviewed, and Primal Showdown which is another bluffing game. Winning asymmetric games with card management is quite an interesting tabletop task, filled with drama. What happens when Shelfside is both in the finals? We also go into Board Game Cafes (FLGS) in Abu Dhabi which is filled with Catan and Dungeons and Dragons (DnD). Other board games we played are Heat (days of wonder) and Earth!

Storm the Block is also filled with comic book activity (Department of Culture and Tourism helps), with Marvel and DC artists helped by Sandstorm Comics. We showcase the convention to see how it feels like, especially behind the scenes with tournament setup and paneling.
