As part of the Schenectady Wargamers Association's monthly Gameathon, I'll be running at least a two round tournament for Friedrich. I own three copies of the game, and might trade for a fourth (or someone else could bring a copy) so I can accommodate 12 or 16 players. The winner of each board would play once more to crown a champion (or if tons of people come with their own sets, I'll run it as a three round tourney with the final game timed on a chess clock). If you lose or don't want to continue, a card driven multiplayer game will start at 5pm, as will a minis game and a Euro. Oh, yeah, the game is teachable if someone wants to try it for the first time.
The Friedrich tournament will start at 11am at the Studio of Bridge and Games (the regular SWA spot), Price Chopper Community Room, 1639 Eastern Parkway, Schenectady, NY 12309. It costs the club to rent the room, so $6 for the day of gaming, $4 for one round, or free if you are a continuing full-time student. Four of our regulars will be at the WBCs that day, so if you are not heading to Lancaster, Pa., head to Schenectady, NY, to play some games with us!
