Well here is a copy of an email exchange with a customer that wanted to know those very answers, as well as his follow
up after he gave pack wars a try. I hope this helps answer some of your questions.
Hi, My name is Danny and I have never been to a pack war. How does it work? I attended
the Bingo and loved it. I took home the Derek Jeter PT Cruiser. Thanks alot, love the store.
Danny
Hi Danny, Glad to hear you had fun at bingo, here is how pack wars works. We battle for 25
rounds. First round and last round are free, in between it costs 1 or 2 dollars per pack. You can play as many or as
few rounds as you like, so if you are working with a budget, you can control your spending. If you were to play
one pack in every round you would spend about $25, but we have some people that spend as little as $5. And you can
try it for free by just playing the first and last rounds(the free rounds). Each round we tell you what the pack is
we are using and how much it costs, then after everybody has their packs we all open them up and I call out a statistic
that will be listed on the back of the card. For example, if we are doing football I might call out most passing yards
in a career. Everybody starts calling out their best cards and whoever ends up with the card that has the highest
is the winner for that round and they fill out a ticket to be drawn for prizes at the end. We do this for 25 rounds, alternating
from sport to sport, we use baseball, football,basketball, and the occasional round of hockey and racing, but mostly the
other three. At the end of the night I start pulling tickets out of the box, first ticket gets first pick out of the
prize showcase, second ticket gets second pick, etc... until I have given away all of the prizes. I believe we have
51 prizes this time. We also play another game throughout the night called price challenge, about 12 times during the
night I will announce that the winner of this round goes to price challenge. If you win that round in addition to
your ticket in the drawing you get to pick a price challenge envelope. There is a card inside, we will show you the
card and if you can guess within 10% what the card lists for in Beckett then the card is yours, free. If you don't
win it but you want to buy it you can buy it at half of beckett price, but you don't have to, just an option, some of
them are really sweet cards and well worth the half price. Anyway, that is a basic rundown on Pack
Wars, I hope it made sense to you, if you have any more questions, please feel free to email again or to call me at
the store. I hope to see you there. Steve
Hey Steve, Just wanted to say that I loved pack wars. It was only my second one but
you have found a customer for life. My Pete Rose autograph looks great in my office on my wall of autographs.
Love the website, keep it up.
