This thing happened once, and now it's gonna happen again, only better!
I'll be hosting a Dominion Tournament on
Saturday, October 10, 2015 at
Game Swap in Mason, OH. You should totally go. The address is
1065 Reading Rd. / Mason, OH 45040 The tournament will
start at 1PM, the Swiss rounds should be done by 5PM (maybe earlier) and the tournament should be over by 7PM (maybe earlier).
There will be at 4 or 5 rounds of Swiss play, followed by an elimination round of 4 or 8 players (these numbers depend on how many people enter the tournament).
ALL GAMES WILL BE 2-PLAYER GAMES (unless an odd number of people are present, in which case we'll have a single 3-player game). For this reason, the tournament is not "officially sanctioned by RGG" and I won't be able to qualify you for the World Nationals at GenCon next year from this particular tournament. Every player is guaranteed at least 4 games in the tournament.
The kingdoms for this tournament will not be "designed," but rather they will be randomly generated from all expansions with some filtering and tweaking done by myself and perhaps a few others to meet some constraints (how many copies of each card we have, not using some cards which won't be good for a tournament setting, removing BM+Embassy mirrors or Goons/money/Colony boards, that kind of thing). The point of this is that I want the kingdoms we use to *feel like* full-random kingdoms, just without any that are totally lame or might take forever to play.
I have some leftover Walled Village promos from the last tournament I can give out as door prizes, those will be first-come-first-served.
The entry fee will be $5. For each entry into the tournament, $4 will be put into the prize pool. All prizes will be given in store credit. The top three (or four) players will be given portions of the prize pool (depending on how many people enter).
If you're planning to attend, contact the tournament moderator Adam Horton (me) at adam@adamhorton.com (or send me a forum PM) -- this is not required but can guarantee you a spot in the tournament and it will assist with planning. Feel free to send any questions there as well. You can also just reply to this thread, I'll be following it
As this is a 2P tournament, the maximum size I can accommodate is actually limited now, so this may be a good idea to do.
If you want to hang out afterwards, there will be the normal game night for the local boardgaming group I'm an admin of, we usually have a turnout of about 15-20 people without anything special going on. I hope to see lots of you there.
