Part 3, and last, of our opening of a complete booster box of the Chaos Impact booster packs. This recording was done before the stay-at-home orders several States enacted. So until everything goes back to some semi-normalcy stay safe. When the gaming shops reopen or if they happen to have online ordering (remember the quarantine steps for packages) go and give them your support. These shops part of the life blood for Trading Card Game collecting and playing.
