One of the neatest things for me has just been seeing all these people wearing NJPW shirts. Like if I stop looking at my phone right now, I can see a Shibata, Jericho, Bullet Club and too many LIJ shirts to count but I'm not gonna take a photo of random people. I think that's really taboo in Japan too
i assume all the super plain THE WRESTLER shirts are for Shibata? They’re really nice

E: I was only in the wrong queue for like 20 minutes. We actually got up to the merch stands before we found out we were in the wrong place.

I’m up at the castle now until doors open

Chris Jericho has official NJPW merchandise here now, it's an Alpha Club shirt with "I'm not tranquilo, I'm loving crazy" written on it.

Rey Mysterio has his own separate merchandise booth.

I don't know if anything can be read into that regarding whether Jericho is staying any longer.

Sweet, we get our own dedicated event thread. It's almost like New Japan is a major wrestling company or something.

I'm gonna be really mad* if this show ends with anything less than Kenny celebrating his IWGP Heavyweight title win in the middle of the ring with the Matt & Nick.

*Mad for about 5 minutes before I go back to singing the praises of our eternal champion, Kazu No Longboys, may his reign last forever.

Dominion is a deck-building game created by Donald X. Vaccarino and published by Rio Grande Games. Each player uses a separate deck of cards; players draw their hands from their own decks, not others'. Players use their cards to perform actions and buy cards from a common pool of card stacks, including Action, Treasure, and Victory cards. The player with the most victory points wins. The game has a light medieval theme, with card names that reference pre-industrial, monarchical, and feudal social structures.



Parallels are often drawn with collectible card games such as Magic: The Gathering. Vaccarino, however, denies that Magic was the inspiration. Unlike Magic: The Gathering, Dominion players build their decks ad hoc as the game proceeds. Dominion is the first game of its kind and has spawned a genre of similar card-based games dubbed "deck-building games".



The game was released at Spiel 2008 in multiple languages and voted best game of the fair by the Fairplay polls with a rating of 1.75 from 147 votes. In 2009, it won the prestigious Spiel des Jahres and Deutscher Spiele Preis awards. It was one of five winning games in American Mensa's 2009 MindGame competition. By 2016, more than 2.5 million copies of it and its expansions had been sold worldwide.



Dominion has been translated into 18 languages (Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, bokmål Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Swedish), comprising 6 different alphabets.



Since the game and its expansions feature over 3000 cards, Rio Grande Games has licensed manufacturers' creation of containers to store all the cards into one or two boxes.

ooh, nice picture! the way they light the arenas during the shows always makes it so hard to tell where the bowl seating is and how far away it is, that looks perfect though

not sure I'd like the floor seats there, though I appreciate that they put some gaps between the rows. the risers on the far end look suuper nice though, way better than what I've seen of e.g. Tokyo Dome's flat-as-hell setup

Before I got in, the NJPW lady who interviews fans stopped me and asked me to do the Naito pose so she could film it. I didn’t really know how to explain that it’d make me feel hella racist, haha

I just did the Kenny gun pose instead
