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!

We could not be more pleased with the turnout and experience of our first minicon. Great games, great volunteers, great attendees, great attitudes and -- thankfully!  -- great weather.

Tournament News for FlamingoCon 1

Expect a tournament for RoboRally at FlamingoCon on Jan 24.

We will teach the game in the morning to give newcomers a chance to learn this silly, crazy, frustrating and awesome game. In this game you program robots to zip around to flags on a factory floor, dodging lasers, maneuvering over conveyor belts and gears, and adding modifications.

Then in the afternoon, three games of 4 players will be played, and then 3 winners will move onto a final round.

We expect to plan one other tournament, still to be determined.

In January, we will post a calendar for demos including for Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Splendor, Camel Up, and more!
