Champion Store Program

A direct partnership between Rising Empire Studios and stores, building the future of Alpha Clash.

What is the Champion Store Program?

This initiative is the cornerstone of our direct model—a way to not just talk about supporting stores, but to actually do it. The Champion Store program gives us the ability to directly equip local game stores with marketing assets, support materials, direct access, store events, promos, exclusive pricing, a product exchange program and more that we could never accomplish through traditional channels.

This isn’t just a label—we’re looking for real partnerships. The Champion Store program gives us a direct line to the people on the ground, running events, teaching the game, and building communities. We get to hear what’s working, what’s not, and actually do something about it. And it means our game ends up in places that want it—stores that care, players that show up, communities that grow. That’s the goal!

What are the Benefits?

1. We know who our stores are now—we talk to you directly.

2. You don’t need to chase down promos through three layers of supply chain bureaucracy.

3. No “attach rate” games. We’ll never force you to carry something you don’t want to sell.

4. We don’t play favorites based on order size. Every store matters.

5. Your support materials are never unavailable and don’t get “lost in the warehouse.” We ship them ourselves.

6. No street date violations or half-price listings by online deep discount-retailers undercutting your sales.

7. You don’t have to find out from someone else what’s coming next. We keep you in the loop first.

8. Actual marketing support. Not “please ask your distributor and hope for the best.”

9. No backroom bundles. You’re not required to buy a pallet of dead product to get the stuff that moves.

10. We give you promos that are meant to build your local scene, not feed a reseller with no community.

11. No more guessing if you’ll actually get your order. We confirm it with you directly.

12. We care about who’s carrying our game, not just how many cases moved.

13. You’ll never be surprised by allocation or product delays you weren’t warned about.

14. Players know Champion Stores are trusted. You’re the ones getting real support.

15. We don’t send our store materials to retailers who don’t even run events.

16. Your feedback doesn’t get filtered through layers. It goes straight to the people making the game.

17. You don’t have to rely on a rep who doesn’t even know what a Clash card is.

18. Every item you get from us is there for a reason—not filler.

19. Our program was built to fix what frustrated us about distribution. And stores deserve better.
