The First EBGL House Cup Tournament Starts Jan 9th!

Jan 02, 2026

To help celebrate 20 years, the EBGL is introducing a fun additional competition format, called the House Cup Tournament - a format similar to house cup tournaments that many major universities and schools host around the world.

On Sunday, January 4th, all members will be divided into one of four houses based on famous board game designers selected by our Organizers (Stegmaier, Turczi, Konieczka, and Lacerda) and the first set of challenges will be announced. Each of these houses has been communicated to and fully endorsed by the designer they are named from. Every two months following, a series of 10 new challenges (in a variety of formats) will be announced and each house that successfully completes a challenge will increase their reputation in the League. Reputation values for each of the challenges will escalate throughout the season to offer a small catch-up mechanism.

At the end of the season the house with the highest reputation wins the house cup award! Of course, members must be sure to continue following our league's values of Inclusion, Fairness, and Fun during this tournament or valuable reputation can be taken away.

Good luck to all of the houses this season!
