2015 Board Game Bonanza Results!

Oct 18, 2015

Well the First Annual Edmonton Oil Kings & EBGL Board Game Bonanza went down on Saturday, October 17th. We had close to 40 people in attendance and kept about 11-12 tables of games running for the three hours.

Congrats to the following people:
- Everyone who won one of the many raffle prizes!
- Randal P for winning the X-Wing Tournament!
- Rob D for winning the King of Tokyo Tournament!
- Shawn T for winning the draw for the 2016 EBGL Season "Tie Breaker"!
- And to all 16 EBGL members in attendance for earning the rare achievement and a 2016 EBGL Season "+1 Extra Vote"!

Finally, we'd really like to thank the Oilers/Oil Kings organization (namely Jeff & Derek) for reaching out to us and not only helping making this happen, but for donating so much of their time and some great prizes to the event!

King of Tokyo Domination 2015 Results!

Oct 18, 2015

We had 22 players enter the EBGL's 2015 "Domination" (single elimination) tournament to see who was the real King of Tokyo...

Congrats to Callan B(left) for winning first place and Patrick C for winning second place after 4 consecutive elimination rounds.

Callan and Patrick walked away with some nice gift certificates to Mission: Fun & Games.

Thanks to all of our members who brought copies of the game and snacks - and to everyone for making this such a fun event! I think I speak for everyone there when I say it was a very energized environment.

The Alchemists tournament (also the final focus game of the 2015 season) ended on September 18th with first place going to Jim C with 10 points (2W,0S,1P,2T,0L,0GW) over the three days. Second place was tied between Mark H(2W,0S,0P,2T,0L,0GW) and Sean S(1W,1S,1P,2T,0L,0GW) with 8 points.

As always, thanks to everyone who purchased copies of the game and brought excellent snacks. Alchemists was also quite challenging to teach so thanks to all who took the time to make sure everyone understood the game each night!
