A week from now there the World Boardgaming
Championship (WBC) begins!!!
WBC is a tournament hosted by the Boardgame Players
Association every year since 1999.
WBC first began as Avalon Con from 1991 to 1998 by the Avalon Hill game
publisher. Although mainly East coasters attend WBC, there are gamers from CA,
Canada and even Europe who attend. Total number of attendees is usually around
1,500.
WBC is a tournament where gamers compete for a
wooden plaque (insert wood jokes here) in their favorite games. There are
usually about 100 different gaming events. This is in addition to open gaming
space. The open gaming space
includes a game library, where gamers can borrow a game. There are also kiosks
where you can advertise that you need more gamers, want to learn a new game,
etc. The convention also includes
a demo area where Rio Grande Games has staff on hand to teach you their latest
games. Starting on Saturday,
vendors are available to sell you the latest games, as well as old
favorites.
