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.

Munchkin Tournament

Games Master — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:24:53 +0000

Our first store tournament will be kicking off in light hearted back stabbing fashion with Munchkin from SJG. Munchkin is a very simple game to learn, very simple to play…and requires great amounts of alliance making and backstabbing. The tournament structure will depend on how many players we get but the target is 12 to 15 with three initial rounds of 4 or 5 players per table.

The date : May 30th, the time 11 AM, and the location, Battlefield Bangkok!

The winner of each table and the best runner(s) up will go into a final (with full allowance to riducle the players they beat) before fighting it out in a final match. The winner taking full honors of “Munchkin Champion of South East Asia… or At Least South East Bangkok!” and their choice of any Munchkin Card game starter pack, the dice set or two add on packs.

The cost to join…nothing, nada, not a penny, no experience points…or baht either. All we ask is that you turn up on time, play (reasonably) fair , don’t cry if you loose, and drink lots of coffee and tea!

Rules :

Standard Munchkin rules
First player player to level 10 wins
You can not buy level 10
No cheating (sorry no stealing card, levels or swapping cards when someone goes for a coffee)
Bookmarks , Official T-Shirts, beer mats and Munchkin Silver coins etc are all allowed and must be declared before a game starts
In the event of a draw for best runner up then the tie break will be decided by the tied players running around the car park shouting “Booga Booga I am the greatest!” or like minded comments. Until the eliminated players have had a enough of a laugh and then they’ll vote on the tie.
The final will use the same rules, though eliminated players will be allowed to hiss and boo at the finalists should they like.

If you’ve never played Munchkin…doesn’t matter the last three games we have had have all been won by people who never played before, must be some kind of “be nice to the new guy” thing!!!!

Middle Earth Quest

Games Master — Thu, 14 May 2009 04:53:21 +0000

FFG have announced their latest release “Middle Earth Quest”. A game in which One player takes the role of Sauron, who is attempting to dominate Middle-earth with his nefarious plots and evil minions. Up to three other players take the roles of heroes who must hold the darkness at bay until Gandalf’s plans have matured. To do so, the heroes must embark on dangerous quests and consult with the famous characters of Middle-earth to gain favor and knowledge. Visit the new mini site here and remember to drop us an email to get your pre-orders in for this latest FFG game.
