2026-06-12 18:00 - 22:00
oin us every 1st and 3rd Monday and every Friday for Warhammer 40k
Warhammer 40k fiction is set around the turn of the 42nd millennium (about 39,000 years in the future). Although Warhammer 40k is mostly a science-fiction setting, it adapts a number of tropes from fantasy fiction, such as magic, supernatural beings, daemonic possession, and fantasy races such as orcs and elves; “psykers” fill the role of wizards in the setting.
As in other miniature wargames, players enact battles using miniature models of warriors and fighting vehicles. The playing area is a tabletop model of a battlefield, comprising models of buildings, hills, trees, and other terrain features. Each player takes turns moving their model warriors around the battlefield and fighting their opponent’s warriors. These fights are resolved using dice and simple arithmetic.
This is an open-play event. Check out our 40k

Star Wars Unlimited Eternal Format Tournament [06/10/2026]
2026-06-10 18:30 - 22:00
Star Wars Unlimited has come to a galaxy near you…
Our weekly play will include a pack per player in the pricing, so you can steadily build your SWU decks the more you play here at Red Raccoon Games.
Star Wars: Unlimited is a trading card game in which each player takes on the role of a leader—an iconic Star Wars character—who rallies their forces into battle to defeat their opponent’s base. These forces are represented by a 50-card deck containing units, events, and upgrades. The game is played over a series of rounds. During the action phase of each round, you’ll play cards from your hand and use these cards to attack your opponent’s base and units. Then in the regroup phase, you’ll draw cards, build up your resources, and ready your units for the next round of battle. Early in the game your leader will affect the battle passively, but eventually they’ll join the fray as a powerful unit.
Each base starts the game with 30 HP (hit points). If you deal enough damage to the enemy base to reduce it to 0 HP, you win the game!

Join us every Monday for Force of Will!
A long long time ago, when Gods and Demons entered into war with one another, there was a land named Valhalla, graced with five elements. As the fighting continue, unceasingly, the wars got more involved, and eventually all the people of the land were engulfed in the battle. Soon the Demons and Gods developed ways to summon and bring back to life strong powerful souls and turn them into warriors to aid in their battle cry. New powers were bestowed, warriors got more powerful and the battles got worse! Be read to enter the battle with the new Force of Will Trading Card Game. Harness the power of Light, Flame, Water, Wind, Darkness and Void and bring the battle to your opponent.
In Force of Will, each player is in control of a main deck of 40–60 cards composed of resonators (“creatures”), chants (“spells”), additions and regalia. Players win the game by either reducing their opponents’ life points to zero or less, or if the opponent is unable to draw a card when required. As a resource the games uses “Will” which is usually produced by “Magic Stone” – cards who are stored in a separate pile of cards called the “Magic Stone Deck”. A special type of card is the “Ruler”/”J-Ruler”, a special creature card in the “Ruler Zone”. The ruler can be “rested” to call a Magic Stone from the Deck or it can enter the regular field for combat by using the “Judgment” Ability.

Ravenloft Dungeons and Dragons Campaign [06/07/2026]
2026-06-07 14:00 - 18:00
The mist comes when it wants. Not when you’re lost, or when you’re scared, but when it’s ready. It rolls in on silent feet, cold as a crypt and thick as wool, swallowing the road behind you and the horizon ahead. By the time you feel it on your skin, it’s already too late. The world you knew is gone. The world you’ve found is wrong.
Here, the sun rises grey and never warms the stone. The clocks all tell different times, and none of them are right. The people in the villages know your name before you speak it, and they look at you with pity, not because they know what you’ve done, but because they know what’s going to happen to you.
The roads don’t lead where they should. They curve back to places you’ve already been. The forests breathe. The statues weep. There’s a castle on the horizon, but you can never seem to get closer to it, until the night you find yourself before its doors, open and inviting you in to never return.
And in the dark, something is always watching. It wears many faces: the host who offers you supper but never eats; the child who plays with dolls that look like you; the reflection that waves back a second too late. It is patient. It has all of eternity to decide what it wants from you.
You will hear your name on the wind. You will see faces you buried. You will knock on a door, and it will open, and you will wish to God it hadn’t.
Welcome to the Land of Mists.
There is no way out.
There never was.

Battletech Alpha Strike [06/07/2026]
2026-06-07 12:00 - 17:00
The commline ablaze with determination. An army of war-forged metal titans on the heights.
The enemy entrenched in the valley below, weapons charged and loaded.
Then you give the order, and armies surge toward each other, banners streaming as lasers, autocannons, and missiles sear and shatter! Will your star-spanning empire win the day? Only you will decide!
It is the 32nd century. For a millennia, mankind has waged wars across thousands of worlds in human-occupied space. The Great Houses. The Clans. The Periphery. A myriad of star empires claiming ascendance, as others wane or fall. They marshal MechWarriors who owe them fealty, each one the master of a towering avatar of destruction: the BattleMech.
Now you are given command of these modern-day knights, dropped onto a battlefield: use your wits and skill to bring victory, or end up a casualty on a forgotten world.
BattleTech is the world’s greatest armored-combat game. And in Alpha Strike, you take command of large-scale engagements with tabletop-miniatures gameplay designed for the modern wargamer. Inside includes everything you need to start tossing dice and charging toward the enemy on your gaming table.
Alpha Strike is a fast-playing game of armored combat set in theBattleTech universe, where ongoing warfare and neo-feudalism are the norm. In this future, the pinnacle of human technology is the BattleMech, a hulking, robotic war machine weighing up to 100 metric tons, and bristling with weapons and armor. Piloting these BattleMechs are MechWarriors, the elite warriors of the Great House and Clan armies alike. While the battlefield is also home to the vast gamut of infantry, combat vehicles, aerospace fighters, the BattleMech reigns supreme.
With the Alpha Strike rules, players simulate battles between armies with miniatures representing the various battlefield units, and model terrain representing the battlefield itself. Statistical data for each battlefield element is tracked using unit cards, measuring the element’s mobility, armor, firepower, and special abilities. Dice are used to resolve attacks between elements, with successful attacks delivering damage that degrades each unit’s performance.
The winner of an Alpha Strike scenario is often the player whose army is the last one standing, but—as in real life—tactics and
mission objectives can evolve beyond even that simple definition of success.
