The Florida Championship at RapierCon- Sponsored by Hammer Hall Games

Join us Saturday, June 15th, 2013 for a daylong Magic the Gathering Tournament. Follow the link below to get the particulars on this exciting event.

Claymore

Claymore is for the real Grognard- those hex and counter game players who really like to get into the nitty gritty of Historic Simulations. In years past we have fought the Battle of Normandy, the Eastern Front in Word War II and the parachute drops on Holland in 1944. If this is gaming the way you like it, follow the link at the bottom of this page for more information and further details.

Project Hougoumont

Once again, Rapier will be supporting Project Hougoumont, a charity benefiting the restoration efforts of Chateau Hougoumont, one of the key locations on the Waterloo battlefield. Efforts are being made to have the restoration completed by June, 2015, the Bicentennial of the Battle of Waterloo. We will be holding our Napoleonic Raffle where all the proceeds will go to Project Hougoumont. So any donations of books, games, miniature figures, prints, or other related items that features the Napoleonic period, will certainly be appreciated.
