Rochester, NY - 10/24/2015 - Lock-in Tournament

[Bruglyother]

Greetings one and all.  It is now the month of Halloween.  A month of thrills and chills.  So, Millennium games will be hosting a night of Malifaux to get your creepy fun in. 

 

On Saturday, October 24th, Millennium games will be holding a lock-in.  A Malifaux tournament will be run during this lock-in.  The Malifaux group will be gathering starting at 7 pm.  Tournament will start at 7:30 pm.  Shop closes at 4 am, and we will likely play the night away. 

 

But, for such a night, you can have just any tournament.  No, you have to have a special tournament.  More details will be forth-coming in the near future, but for now, be prepared for a tournament of challenges and treachery.  It will be a fixed faction format, and you will likely need both a Master and a henchman at some point in the night, so plan accordingly.  This will be a night of fun and odd challenges, so don't take it too seriously. 

 

The entry fee for the night will be $20.  More details to follow.

Round 2

Players will be split into two tiers; upper and lower.  Upper tier players will be paired with lower tier players.  The upper tier player will build a crew using a master as the leader, while the lower tier player will build a crew lead by a henchman.  Both players will have access to their own cache.  Unspent soulstones will become a communal pool, with no more than 4 stones combined.  Teams will score strategy points collaboratively, but scheme points individually.  Teammates are “friendly” to one another.

Deployment – Modified corners.  Each player will have a corner deployment, with teammates sharing a side of the board.
