A Busy 2010

Been so busy this year so far that we overlooked our blog! After the dissapointment of seeing our Christmas stock get snatched by customs we were able to celebrate Christmas 6 weeks late when it was finally released (along with a large tax fine…don’t ask) at the start of Feb. So the shelves are no longer bare and we have 100+ new games in store, well we did, but folks keep buying them!

This month we’ve had the War Machine Mark II rules arrive at last. They look great and we’re looking forwards to kicking off our first MK II event.

Coming up this month we also have the Vampire LARP, VTES, the start of the Mini Campaigns for RPGs and a bunch of other stuff…and don’t forget Valentines is just around the corner, share your love over a board game at BFB !!

Nat wins VTES Constructed Tournie

Cleveland — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:21:33 +0000

Nat with his Stealth / Bleed deck ran rampant at this weekends VTES event. The first two rounds he breezed through beating off two other like minded decks and an Intercept / Killer deck. However round 3 went radically different and he was the first out in a round that saw the Intercept / Killer deck knock off all of ther players to claim all the victory points for that round. However Nat had secured enough points in the early rounds to win the first constructed deck tournament at BFB.

VTES Round up

Games Master — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:29:10 +0000

Our first VTES tournament lasted the whole day and had nine players battling through out the day to make the final round. After three rounds of battle the final round saw Bobby, Jom, Josh, Cleveland and Myself (Chris) qualify. As the best qualifier Josh had prime choice of positioning and sat far away from the only Intercept deck left in play. The first few rounds were slow and careful, but things soon heated up and Bobby was the first to call, nibbled away by rats and then finished off by a swarm attack from Cleveland. This briefly left Cleveland looking exposed but Josh’s first political action gave most of the players lots of blood and bolsted him up. Meanwhile Jom was chipping away at me, while my deck refused to give me the cards I needed to get rolling until a little too late. Then just when I was feeling safe Jom rushed in at me while I had 6 blood left and was feeling pretty safe…and nailed me for the lot. Then Josh went to town with the votes, gradually crippling Jom and Cleveland. A few rounds later Josh found himself on the receiving end of a flurry of votes and was ousted. Leaving Cleveland to face Josh in what appeared to be an uneven battle. For a while though it looked like Cleveland might actually win through as Josh was obviously short of powerful referendum cards…but that didn’t last long and finally the vote was called that sent Cleveland out and crowned Josh the champion of our first VTES tournament.

Congrats to Josh and thanks to everyone who joined in. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be holding some smaller booster draft tournaments, and getting ready for our first constructed deck tournament in August!

VTES Tournament Update

We expect to have between 8 and 12 players, hopefully 12, and we’ll be aim to be using the full tournament system with 3 rounds and then a final, using the official tournament scoring system. The tournament will use sealed decks from the Ebony Legacies of Blood expansion.

Players may use the same deck for the tournament or purchase new decks for each round or exchange complete decks with other players between rounds, if they wish to get some variety in the style of deck they play.

Participation prizes will be given to all players, as well as special prizes for the tournament winner and all finalists . These will include promotional cards, special boosters and starter decks.

Entry fee is just the cost of the Starter Deck, no other costs.
