The first Inkbound Invitational Qualifier is coming to Players Paradice in Newport Pagnell, bringing together Disney Lorcana players from across the United Kingdom for an unforgettable weekend of competition, community and incredible prizes.
For those travelling from further afield, the Invitational is also the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it and discover everything that Newport Pagnell and Milton Keynes have to offer.
Discover Newport Pagnell
Our hosts, Players Paradice, are based in the historic town of Newport Pagnell. With its traditional high street, independent businesses and welcoming local character, it is a brilliant home for the opening event of the Inkbound Invitational Series.
Those with time before or after the tournament can explore the town’s heritage trail, which passes many of Newport Pagnell’s most recognisable historic buildings and landmarks. You can also visit Tickford Bridge, a Grade I listed cast iron bridge that has carried traffic across the River Ouzel since 1810.
Newport Pagnell offers plenty of places to eat, drink and relax, making it an ideal base for players staying throughout the weekend. Whether you are meeting friends for dinner, discussing your matchups over a drink or preparing for another full day of Lorcana, everything you need is close by.
You can find more information about the town’s walking routes and heritage trails through the Newport Pagnell Town Council.
Make a Weekend of Milton Keynes
Just a short journey from Newport Pagnell, Central Milton Keynes offers even more ways to enjoy your visit.
History fans can explore Bletchley Park, the famous home of Britain’s Second World War codebreakers. If you want something more active, Xscape Milton Keynes offers indoor skiing, cinema, restaurants and a range of entertainment under one roof.
For a quieter break before the cards start flying, Willen Lake offers scenic walking and cycling routes alongside its lakes, parkland and striking Peace Pagoda. Milton Keynes also has an enormous selection of restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment venues, giving travelling players plenty to do throughout the weekend.
Come for the Invitational. Stay for the city. Just make sure you are ready when you sit down across from the local defenders.
Introducing the JTC Bounty Scheme
At Inkbound Invitational Qualifier One, we will be launching the brand new JTC Bounty Scheme.
Players Paradice may be welcoming competitors from across the country, but Team MK will be waiting to defend its home ground.
Team MK is made up of some of the area’s most formidable Lorcana players. You will know exactly who they are when you see them. Look out for the Team MK jerseys and their clearly marked Ravensburger Play Hub names.
Every member of Team MK will carry a bounty.
If you are paired against a Team MK player and defeat them, you will receive an additional booster pack on top of the pack you would already earn for winning that round.
One victory. One extra pack. One defeated local defender.
The challenge will not be easy. Team MK knows the venue, knows the community and will be determined to stop visiting players from claiming their bounty. Every time one of their jerseys appears across the table, there will be more than tournament points at stake.
Will Team MK successfully defend Players Paradice?
Or will the travelling players descend upon Newport Pagnell and collect every available bounty?
There is only one way to find out.
Your Invitational Journey Starts Here
