We aren’t bothering to schedule a set time for any of these because we never end up following the schedule. We will make an announcement when a game is starting, and/or you can ask at the library about a demonstration, and we will get one started. 10403187_410350039152360_7055697734738444787_n All Day: Play To Win games: Anyone who plays these games during FlaMingoCon Quad can enter 11951215_442695945917769_9195949945300887036_nto win the game. Only those who have played one have a chance of winning it. This is to make sure the winner really likes the game and will play it again, not just let it collect dust on the shelf. Games available for Play to Win are Arboretum, Simpsons trivia, and an Original Treasure Chest from Stonemaier that can be used with Euphoria or Viticulture or Stone Age. 7:30 pm: Drawing for Play To Win games.

The winners

Obviously there were a LOT of winners at the January 24th event, as each game played had at least one winner. However let's highlight the special winners of our Play To Win Games and Tournaments. Congratulations to Gavin (Night of the Octopus), Gen (Resistance), Elisabeth (Jungle Speed) and Lynne (RoboRally) for trying out new games and entering the drawings to win these games. We plan to have more Play To Win opportunities at the  next con, and hopefully some brand spanking new releases if we are lucky! And on to our tourneys... The RoboRally tournament had 4 entrants, so was a one-game affair. Brave Katie & Glenn had just learned the game in the morning. Phil stated his attitude was "Someone has to come in last." Kevin swept to victory in his favorite game, and treasures his FlaMinGoCon trophy that he can put a candle in -- or put a pink rubber ducky in. 10941861_342694259251272_6968907435047011293_n10931008_342694269251271_6613772048353866359_n Our Splendor Tournament had 16 entrants, which meant 4 games for the first round of the single elimination, then the 4 winners continuing to the second round. Adam (with hand to head in photo) emerged victorious! Sadly by the end of the con, we started being too tired to take photos (sorry)! 9002_342693605918004_1731371865980451882_n Congratulations to you all! Looking forward to new adventures in tournaments at the  next minicon!
