Announcing ConQuest 2008
by Lansing Board Gamers!
Update!!!
We're back and with a new name. While Gamers Gone Wild 2007 was a huge success last year with over 60 gamers, ConQuest should be even bigger.
The game library was also very popular. Thanks to everyone who put games out for "sharing".
Where: Comfort Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) Conference Center, 2187 University Park Drive Okemos, MI 48864
From: I-96 exit 110, go North on Okemos Road, then after 1/4 mile, turn right on University Commerce Park - conference center and hotel is on your right. If you want to spend the night, there is a block of rooms available for $79 - just mention Lansing Board Gamers (or that you're at a conference this weekend).
Note: The hotel is now a Comfort Inn entirely (it used to be a Holiday Inn Express and a Comfort Inn).
What: Open Board Gaming (Rio Grande, Avalon Hill, Eagle, "German", Steve Jackson, Railroad, etc.), and a Texas Hold-em Tournament (no gambling).
Board gaming tournaments are being organized. Pizza will be provided for sale at lunch and dinner times. Please bring your favorite games! Visit the Yahoo Group.
When: Saturday, August 23 (9am to Midnight) and
Sunday, August 24 (10am to 7pm)
Who: Everyone with a good attitude is invited to register
How: Register Online! or volunteer (contact me to volunteer)
Prizes: Multiple gift certificates from local hobby shops. The Texas Hold'em Trophy
Iron man (or woman) competition: There will be game sheets to track games played. All games count: demo's, tournaments and open gaming (except Texas Hold'em).
The person who plays the most games (really the person who plays the longest - length of game will be considered) will win a gift certificate. Prize will be awarded Sunday, about 5PM.
Food Policy:
Pizza will be offerred for sale. You may bring back other food for yourself (but not pizza).
Entire weekend:
