About Leylines

Newcastle's TCG community has earned its reputation. Friendly to a fault, with a Pauper scene that punches above its weight, a genuine love for the off-meta brew nobody else has thought of, a One Piece group that's simply insane at the game, and tables that make room for everyone regardless of where you're from or how long you've been playing.

It's also, right now, without a home.

Players are scattered across far-flung shops, basement tournaments, and places that don't have enough stock for multiple games. The casual, welcoming space this community deserves doesn't exist yet. The kind you show up to with no plans and always find a table. Where you can find exactly the card you need for your deck or collection.

We're building Leylines to change that.

A city centre TCG café with good seating, good coffee, organised play for every format, and a singles market that actually serves the community. Somewhere you come even when nothing's on. A third place, for people who already know what that means.

The online store is stage one. Every order helps fund the physical space and gets product to the community before we open the doors.

We're building this in public. No corporate playbook, no investor timeline.

Leylines exists because this community gave us our best memories and our best people. We're building it for them. We hope to see you there.
