About.com – 2008 World Boardgaming Championships

Here’s a snip of Erik Arneson’s trip to the 2008 World Boardgaming Championships.

The 2008 World Boardgaming Championships concluded yesterday, ending a weeklong event attended by about 1,500 gamers and featuring more than 100 tournaments. I’ve never been a big tournament player, and this year I only entered one: Football Strategy, a game most recently published in 1980 by Avalon Hill. In Football Strategy, the player on defense selects his formation (one of 10 possibilities) using a deck of cards, and then the offensive player announces his play selection (one of 20). The defender reveals his card and the players consult a chart to see what the outcome is. I played four games, finishing with a 2-2 record. All four games were dramatic, determined by a touchdown or less (20-14, 17-23, 13-8, 10-17). I’d rather play Pizza Box Football or Card Football, but I’m glad I had the chance to try Football Strategy…

(PDR) Sincere apologies to anyone that has checked this out recently, as this is the first new posting in 3 months! That’s bad. Well, suffice to say we’ve had more important things on the go the last few months – 90% of which has been good things.

For those of you on pins and needles about how the Chiefs did in the OBA’s, well, we were eliminated after 3 games. Too bad, ’cause there’s no question in my mind that we were the best team in the tournament. Just didn’t play to our potential, I guess. Maybe we peaked a little early, what with the tournament victory in July. The rest of the COBA season wasn’t much better. Got knocked out in the first round best-of-three. One-two-barbecue, as Fab likes to say.

Hockey season is off and running and our Sens are looking real good – again. Looks like they’ve barely missed a beat following the disappointing loss in the Stanley Cup Finals. No SCF hangover here. Our goalie Martin Gerber (previously known as “Martin Gerbeerleague”) looks like a new man. With he and Ray Emery between the pipes, the Sens just might have the best goaltending tandem in the league.

We’re looking forward to making some big announcements over the next couple months. Can’t wait to fill you in.

(PDR) Our baseball team, the nearly-world-famous Dundas Chiefs, came out as winners of the 1st annual Bruno Leblanc Memorial Tournament in Niagara Falls this past weekend. Fab threw a complete game shutout in a 9-0 semi-final win. Yours truly finished the tournament 1 for 2 with a walk and a couple RBI. Great group of guys on this team. Looking forward to the rest of the season and the Ontario Baseball Assocation playdowns — that, and a little more playing time

(PDR) We had another great weekend in Columbus at Origins. Along with Greg from GT2 Fun and Games (makers of XIG and The Sorcerer’s Stone puzzle games), we had a great time with the Human Slot Machine. Everyone had a blast and a few lucky folks took home copies of Greg’s games, Funmaker Games’ Mimic, and either NHL Ice Breaker or Card Football. I’ll be sure to post some pictures as soon as possible.

Though I noticed it earlier this year in Vegas, I was still amazed with how cheap American beer is. I mean, a quart of Heineken for $1.49??? That’s madness! That’ll cost you like $5-6 around here.

(PDR) Man, it’s been a while. I guess it took longer than expected to get over my Sens losing (in not-so-inspiring fashion, no less) in the Stanley Cup Final. Oh well. There is always next year (man, that’s lame). But seriously, the Sens are still one of the youngest teams in the NHL, so I am very confident about their ability to get back to the ‘dance’.

Final Playoff Prediction standings: FDR 12-for-15, PDR 11-for-15. All in all, not too shabby.
