The 2016 Midwest Regional Diamonds Championship

This Stronghold game by Mike Fitzgerald is a trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamonds - not cards bearing that suit, mind you, but rather actual "Diamond Crystals". What makes the game of Diamonds different from other trick-taking card games is that when you cannot follow suit you get a "Suit Action" based on what suit you do play. Suit Actions are also taken by the winner of each trick, as well as at the end of a full Round of play. Whoever has the most points in Diamond Crystals at the end of the game wins! The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, plus a seat at the quarter final round of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2016 (along with a free membership, and a three-night room share in Indianapolis)!

This new release from Smirk & Dagger is a casual-style, card-drafting game in which you quickly build your hand each round, collecting cards you want and poisoning your opponent's hand by passing along cards you think they can't use. Whoever holds the most of a given suit, gains the power of that suit to attack, heal, acquire Light or Shadow magicks and score victory points. Will you transform all your rivals into ravens - or can they regain their human form in time to score enough victory to win? The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, plus a seat at the quarter final round of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2016 (along with a free membership, and a three-night room share in Indianapolis)!

Legend speaks of the enchanted Sapphire Island. Shrouded in mist and magic, the island summons mages to battle in the ultimate test of magical combat - but only those who survive the supernatural duels are granted great prestige and riches. Spellcaster is a card game from R&R Games which pits mages in a duel of supremacy. You win by exhausting your opponent's energies or by collecting enough sorcery sapphires to overpower them. Sixty different spells are included from four fields of study: Combat, Conjuring, Healing and Sorcery. Cast one or more spells each turn to overcome your opponent and become the Grand Master Mage! The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, plus a seat at the quarter final round of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2016 (along with a free membership, and a three-night room share in Indianapolis)!
