About this Event
Changeling Event Type: General Event.
What to Expect: There will be three rounds of friendly competition, the top players of each game playing against each other for guaranteed progress while those who do less well initially will have a chance to win their way back into the final game for a chance to win it all! Everyone will still receive a table to play at for the third game, even though only one table will be playing for the ultimate victory.
There will be no walkthrough of the rules for this event as all players will be expected to know how to play Wingspan.
Prizing: The winner of this tournament will receive $100 in store credit and the second-place player will receive $50 in store credit.
General Admission: Tickets for this event include access to the space, a professional judge to guide the games, and the opportunity to play several rounds with a chance to win the prize at the end!
