Our Biggest Pull Yet!!!

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2026/01/14

We really got back into the swing of things this week. We got to 2 armories and had our highest value card pull so far! Check out the Cardboard section for that.Also we had a really successful armory so read about that below as well.NewsI think that LSS are having an extended festive break as there’s not been much news. There has been an announcement about how you receive any monetary prizes but let’s be honest I’m not going to be winning any of those anytime soon. But my daughter…..Emptying The

Things Just Don't Go To Plan

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2026/01/05

Some times things just don’t go to plan. Family commitments got in the way of one armory, we then forgot something meaning we couldn’t make another armory and finally another armory wasn’t on due to the public holiday.Will I even know what to do when we get to an armory? With Road To Nationals coming up we are seriously lacking in play time. I’m not that fussed about the Road To Nationals side of things though as I play for the community not so much the competitive side of things. However it would

What? No Cards?

2025/12/30

With this being Christmas week both Gateway Games and Gaming DNA’s armories were cancelled. We were too knackered on Tuesday to make the 3 hour round trip to Card Merchant Hamilton’s armory meaning a week with no armories. I think this is only the second time in the 21 weeks since we took up FAB that has happened.Also being Christmas there’s not been much news. The only thing really has been the video showing us what you get for taking part in the Compendium Of Rathe World Premier in London. Looks

Born To Play - Gaming DNA

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2025/12/26

Welcome to An Armory Guide To Aotearoa where I aim to visit and review every FAB armory in NZ.Gaming DNA is at the northern end of central Hamilton, near FMG Stadium. If you’re staying in a hotel in the centre of town it’s walkable but a long walk. Chances are you’re going to be driving. There is some street parking and with a supermarket carpark just across the road, parking isn’t a problem.On the food side of things, there’s the supermarket across the road. Relatively nearby there’s a couple of

Merry Christmas

2025/12/25

It’s been really busy over the last couple of weeks so I have some catching up to do. Last time we talked, my daughter and I had been to the Auckland Card Market and bought a box of Welcome to Rathe. The intention was to do a box opening video, things got busy so we did a quick opening. We didn’t get anything interesting so decided not to bother posting it. I won’t be buying old boxes for opening in the future.Since last time we have been to 5 armories (4 different ones) and a FAB Christmas party

I Need A Mentor

2025/12/10

I’m so late with this post, will my memory of last week hold up? We did a couple of different things last week as well as getting to our local armory.My barber friend Levi had bought a box of Super Slam in the Black Friday sales so we recorded a box opening. My daughter and I popped along to Gateway Games for our local armory on Friday night and then on Saturday headed up to Auckland for the Card Market.The Card Market was a bit like a heading back to the beginning in someways. We discovered FAB at

Three Armories And A Barber

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2025/12/02

It’s been a busy playing week for us. We made it to 3 armories this week. I know that I said that the armories in Hamilton weren’t going to be regular and are more treat armories but we got to both of them again.This week I also got my haircut. Stay with me, there is a Flesh and Blood connection. As all barbers do, he asked me what had I been up to? And I responded that I’d started playing a card game called Flesh and Blood. He said he knew of it and we chatted Magic and cards as I got my

My Local - Gateway Games

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2025/11/26

Gateway Games is my LGS and the armory that I get to most weeks. If you follow A FAB Journey you might have already read about my first experience down there.Gateway Games is located in Bethlehem which is technically on the western side of the Tauranga but is the northern approach to the city. Yes Tauranga is a geographically confusing place but we aren’t here to review the town planning (or lack of it). All you need to know is that it’s not in Tauranga town centre so if you’re visiting you will

We are heading into dad joke territory with the title this week. We made it to Gaming DNA for the first time which was very cool. Going to new stores does hurt the bank account though as you get to see a different range of deck boxes and stuff.We also got to our local armory at Gateway Games and did some shopping there too.NewsThe quiet after the storm. There was news about who won worlds and congrats to them. Let’s be honest though that’s like looking up at the eagles soaring through the air. Not

A Tale Of Two Cities

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2025/11/17

Yes I have ripped off a famous title. Hopefully no one mistakes this post for a work of Shakespeare. We did however visit both Hamilton and Tauranga this week for armories. First up it was Card Merchant Hamilton where we have been for a Skirmish and a Store Championship Qualifier but not an armory before. Then it was our regular Gateway Games.This week also saw the release of Armory Deck: Rhinar so you’ll be able to see how I went playing that deck.NewsThe big news this week was LSS announcing what

There were a lot of cobwebs from not playing and I really could do with playing a bit more. Maybe just going through my deck to remind myself of my cards as well…..This a week of a lot of little things rather than 1 big thing it feels like and

Is Silver Age The Future Of FAB? NoWeek 12 - A Different Type Of Weekly UpdateIt’s going to be a slightly different format of weekly update from me this week.Another week where life got in the way of cards but there is plenty to talk about. We had another banned and restricted announcement from LSS. I published a post about the different formats in FAB and read lots of hype about Silver Age that I’d like to discuss. I learned what The Wall is at large events. Finally put out there a big idea for the

Family Comes First

A FAB Journey Podcast ·

2025/10/19

There was no armory for us this week. By Friday evening I had 2 tired daughters so 3-4 hours of play cards was not on the table. Family comes first, FAB isn’t life or death it’s a way to relax and have fun.From a blogging point of view I’ve put out a couple of prediction posts this week. First look at what I think the major releases will be in 2026 and then which armory decks will be released in 2026. Have I got it right? Very unlikely but it’s been good to see the discussion it’s generated
