Press release -
THE YU-GI-OH TRADING CARD GAME INVITES DUELISTS ACROSS EUROPE TO THE CHRISTMAS CHARITY EVENT 2022
Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. (KONAMI) today announced that it’s inviting Yu-Gi Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) fans across Europe to take part in the Christmas Charity Event 2022 and donate food cans to good causes across the continent. The company hopes the event will achieve its highest number of donations yet, with nearly 10,000 food cans expected to be donated by Duelists next month.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Christmas Charity Event began eight years ago in Germany. Now it’s a cross-European event with hundreds of Official Tournament Stores (OTS) taking part across nine different countries.
During the Christmas Charity Event, special tournaments will take place in participating OTS. Duelists must bring three food cans with them and then Duel to win more cans. Once the event is completed, Duelists then exchange their cans for OTS Tournament Packs (OTS Packs), which are card packs that can only be found at OTS (KONAMI provides packs to OTS for the event.) Once it’s all completed, each OTS can then donate the accumulated food cans to a non-profit organization of its choice.
“The Christmas Charity Event is an excellent way for Duelists to come together and help those in need,” said Shin Ishida, Head of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Division for EMEA. “This is something the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG community has done since 2014. The Christmas Charity Event has gotten bigger and bigger each year. It’s something that all of us at KONAMI Europe are very proud of, and we’re grateful to all the Duelists and OTS that will take part in 2022.”
Participating stores in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom will hold Christmas Charity Event tournaments during 2-18 December.
