FAQ

Questions, answered

A few of the things we get asked most. More on the way as we get closer.

Will pre-orders still be honored?

Yes — every pre-order placed before the move is honored. We'll keep you updated on shipping windows around moving week.

What happens to ongoing tournament series?

Series in flight will continue without interruption. Standings carry over, and we'll publish the updated venue schedule once dates are locked.

Will opening hours change during the move?

Briefly, yes. We'll post a clear closing-weekend schedule a few weeks ahead so you know exactly when to drop in for one last visit.

Can I still order cards online?

Always. goodgamesbern.ch and our Cardmarket store stay open before, during, and after the move.

Will events pause during the transition?

Only the moving week itself. Major weekly events resume the moment we're set up at the new location.
