Game Description

The Great Canadian Board Game Blitz (http://www.gcbgb.ca/) is a circuit of board game tournaments held at Canadian game conventions and retailers. You play several rounds of games over the span of eight hours, collecting points based on your finishing rank in each game. The finals have been held each summer.

Prizes for this year's Board Game Blitz provided by:


The format of each event is as follows. There are 5 game rounds. In each round there is a list of 5 games that can be chosen from; each round this list is different. In the first round, players choose from a fixed number of games in a random order. A number of points are earned based on finishing rank. The next round, the random order is reversed, so that players who did not get a good position in the first round get a good position in the second round. Again, players earn points based on their finishing ranks. For the following rounds, players choose which game they play, in decreasing order of accumulated points. The winner is the player with the total number of accumulated points at the end of all the rounds. As a player, you get to play five different games and meet many other gamers. And, since we explain the rules and answer questions, it's also a great way to learn new games!
