Fellow Windsor-area Board Gamers,
The Great Canadian Board Game Blitz and Windsor Gaming Resource would like to present the Windsor-area GCBGB championship which will be run at the Hugin & Munin, on Saturday July 30th .. start time TBA (morning). The tournament is an all-day, multi-round, non-elimination tournament. The top-ranked player will receive a weekend pass to FanExpo 2011 to participate in the 2011 GCBGB National Finals! All entry fees will be go toward prizes sponsored by Hugin & Munin.
So.. how does it work? Each round, players select which games they'd like to play in some order (randomly at first, and then by accumulated points). Everyone then plays their selected games simultaneously and earns a number of points based on the rank they achieved in the game. After a certain number of rounds, the player with the most tournament points is the winner.
Previous participants have told me that the GCBGB feels a lot like "organized open gaming". The games are played competitively, of course, but organizers (and most participants) are open to explaining games to newcomers and answering questions that arise throughout the games. Since it is a blitz, the games are often shorter Euro-style games like, e.g., Puerto Rico, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan, San Juan, Roll through the Ages, Saint Petersburg, Dominion, Power Grid, Tigris and Euphrates, etc.
Details about the tournament format can be found on our web site; further details such as the start time, cost, games list, etc. will be posted in the next few weeks Questions? Email us or post a follow-up to this thread.
