Tournaments

All tournaments will take place Saturday and Sunday June 7th and 8th. Tournament finals will take place on Sunday, June 8th.

Tabletop tournaments:

  • Pandante (first ever tournament for this new gambling game!)
  • Yomi (latest beta version)
  • Puzzle Strike

Codex

The Codex customizable card game will be playable the whole time, but especially on Friday. It's been through quite a few changes since last year, and I think you'll find that it plays faster now, and that it has a bunch of real art.

Who should come?

Really anyone who enjoys these games who can. Like I said, it was great fun last year.

Note that this is not just a local event. It's located right next to the San Francisco International Airport to make travelling as easy as possible. There's even a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel. Last year we had several from Canada as well as Kasumi who came all the way from Japan!

One reason to come would be if you're actually good at any of these games. You don't want to let some shmoe win do you? That said, all skill levels are welcome. Attending a tournament is usually quite a learning experience regardless of your skill or lack of it. Even if you don't enter any tournaments at all, plenty of casual play is encouraged as well. It's fun to be in an environment with like-minded people and to make new friends, so you might be interested in attending for the social aspects alone.

Some fun from last year:
