Format: Multiplayer Bicycle Knockout
Today (sorry!) May 22nd at 7pm-10pm
Eudaimonia Games, 2154 University, 94704
(510) 883-0814

Our first bicycle tournament. "Bicycle" means deck construction dictates exactly 1 of each poker value (instead of 4) - otherwise all normal rules in effect. This is a multiplayer tournament with knockout rules: at Sundown, when checking for win condition, any player who meets win condition against any other player "knocks out" that player - meaning they "lose" and all their cards are removed from play. Play continues until there is a single winner, or time is called (3 hours) with tie-breaker rules in effect.

Playing for OP Kit #5 - Chief Stephen Seven-Eagles mat, Ghost Rock pouch and coins, Coachwhip! and Blake's Ranch. Beginners welcome! Extra decks will be provided for new players. Saddle up on your best bike and come Run 'Em Down!

May very well be able to make this one - looks like the kids will be off camping.
Looking forward to bootin' n shootin' with the Marshal runnerup

While SB12 Showstopper was a Gencon pre-release, is it officially out yet (e.g. will GoB have copies)?

cadavaca 2016-08-10 14:43:07 UTC #7

Games of Berkeley has had copies of Showstopper, but they're sold out right now I think. So some people attending will have it, including those who didn't rock the GenCon event.

davido4015 2016-08-11 02:34:09 UTC #8

Well, I don't have to plan on pulling my punches. Instead of old jank, I can bring new jank

Congratulations to Arek are definitely in order, but (ahem) he didn't go undefeated in the Deputy tournament – although he did beat me in the rematch.

jordan_caldwell 2016-08-14 05:42:54 UTC #12

Well either way we gotta take 'em down next one.

Gunna miss your hella decks from the Berkeley scene...

electric_disco 2016-08-14 13:45:41 UTC #13

That was really cool of that one guy at the event to give you those 2 free alt art cards, even though he wanted to trade for them and he just decided to give them to you anyway. I love this community! So many great people.

cadavaca 2016-08-16 21:56:17 UTC #14

It really was! Hopefully I'll find someone to pass the goodness on to.

The Berkeley scene never died with the game, though we did sustain a couple casualties. And it turns out Games of Berkeley still has some OP Kits worth shootin' over. The errata issued by Pinebox Entertainment will be in full effect. New players welcome - we will show you the ropes and can provide extra decks. This store has moved to a new location - please note the address change.

Cheers, varmints!

Zac, I challenge you to productively use We Got a Beef! in your new deck (i.e., play it during a tournament game in order to gain an advantage in said game). If you do, I'll buy you a burger or burger-equivalent next time we're in the same city.

jordan_caldwell 2018-06-07 20:09:29 UTC #20

Dammit I already built "Warp and Ride" for this - but challenge accepted!
