Card Driven Wargame line-up at the 2007 WBC convention
|
|
|
Following is the schedule for 16 19 Card Driven Wargame tournies (although you could pick a bone that a few games on the list are not strickly card driven wargames, but, the CDWer tribe does play them) at the 2007 WBC tournment http://www.boardgamers.org/I've participated in many of them. You'll always get a great GM and fun/challenging field of players. The 2 player tournies generally run in size from 16-32, while the multiplayer games pull fields between 50-100. Each winter, WBC offers these tournies at its winter CDW con, WAM. http://www.wamconvention.com/

A legendary WBC tourney, that has kicked off WBC for the last four years as its own "pre-con". 6 back-to-back 7 hour rounds to determine a winner. Only for the bold and beautiful - or those enjoying mind numbing fun competition. Great/fun group of players from all over the globe (including Turkey).

Sunday 2:00 PM. You won't meet a better GM in Mr.Tucker. Always lots of color - and great door prizes. And, at least one participant always wears a Carthagian helmet to the event.

A couple of years ago, the GM actually had Carthagian elephants at the opening ceramony. The hotel management got their shorts in a knot, so, the elephants probably won't be back anytime soon.

Kicking off the multiplayer CDWs. WARNING: A Former Team X member is the GM. Alexander and a few members of his posse always make a token appearance.

The 2 player version kicks off on Tuesday at 6 PM. Sometimes it attracts a strange crowd. Some dude showed up claiming he was Napolean.

One of the things that makes WBC the best con in the business is having tourneys like 1776 (the game was published 33 years ago) where a strong field of good sport players show up for the 2 player wargames.
Not exactly a card driven wargame, but, it does use very cool battle cards. And, it is an outstanding strategic level game - similar to the Card Driven Wargames.
Tuesday nite 7 PM mulligan round and Wednesday 9 AM. Event is run by a great GM and the event went to the clock (90 minutes per side) for the first 9 months of the Campaign Game (bid Strategic Cities).

Ed the GM makes you recite the edicts on demand :-)
Tuesday 7 PM
Last year a fellow named Luther dressed in a really funky outfit should up. However, security quickly showed him the door. |

The GM Mr.Wixson is top notch. On his own dime he awards tomahawks to the top 2 finishers. Wed 9 AM
Despite the picture below, you don't often see players holding hands.
