Coup – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Friday at 8:00 PM
16 players, 4 tables

You are head of a family in an Italian city-state, a city run by a weak and corrupt court. You need to manipulate, bluff and bribe your way to power. Your object is to destroy the influence of all the other families, forcing them into exile. Only one family will survive… In Coup, you want to be the last player with influence in the game, with influence being represented by face-down character cards in your playing area. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

Dimension – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Saturday at 9:00 AM
16 players, 4 tables

Dimension is a fast-paced, innovative puzzle game that takes place in three dimensions with 60 colorful spheres. All of the players play at the same time. Everybody tries to position the spheres on their trays to earn as many points as possible. The task cards indicate how the spheres must be placed to earn points. Complete these tasks while racing against the timer. You get a point for each sphere you use and a bonus token for using all five colors, but you lose two points for each task card you don’t follow correctly. Prove to your opponents that you are the master of multi-dimensional thinking! The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

Finger Guns at High Noon – 2023 West Coast Chapionship
Saturday at 12:00 PM 
16 players, 4 tables

A fast-paced game of strategy, negotiation, and pure hilarity – battle royale style. Craft your plan, convince the crowd to join in, then count down and draw your finger guns. Hand gestures show everyone’s actions and targets. Eliminate players with pistols, dynamite, and power shots, or stand to the side and lasso up an ally. Last player standing is the winner! The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

 

Skull King – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Saturday at 3:00
16 players, 4 tables

Skull King is a trick-taking game similar to Oh Hell!, Wizard, Euchre and Spades, with players needing to state how many tricks they think they’ll win each round. A unique element of this game is that bidding takes place simultaneously, leading to rounds that are sometimes over, or under-bid. As players must win the exact number of tricks that they bid to earn points, winning too many tricks is just as bad as winning too few and this leads to intense competition where losing a trick can be as exciting as winning one. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

SHOBU – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Saturday at 6:00 PM
16 players, 4 tables

A beautifully crafted 2-player abstract strategy game from Smirk & Laughter. Your turn is in two parts. First, a player may move one of their stones up to two spaces in any direction, including diagonally, in what is called a passive (or set up) move. Second, they take a more aggressive move, which must be the same direction and number of spaces as the first move. It is this second move that allows you to push stones across the board – or off the board’s edge. Remove all four of your opponent’s stones from just one of the four boards to win. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

 

Silver – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Saturday at 9:00 PM
16 players, 4 tables

Your village has been overrun by savage werewolves, which are represented by the number on each of the cards that make up your village. To get rid of these fanged fiends faster than the neighboring villages, use your residents’ special abilities and your powerful secret weapon: A silver amulet. Call for a vote when you think you have the fewest werewolves, but be careful; everyone else gets one more turn to save their own village first… The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

Coralia – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Sunday at 9:00 AM
16 players, 4 tables

Send your ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) down to find specific species in the coral reefs. Keep your eyes open as to whether one or the other sunken pirate treasure can not be traced. A few pearls are also welcome to end up being not only a respected researcher but also a wealthy one. This Dice Placement game is about winning the most points with a little luck and making the right decisions. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!

 

Bohnanza – 2023 West Coast Regional Championship
Sunday at 1:00 PM
16 players, 4 tables

Plant, then harvest bean cards in order to earn coins. Each player starts with a hand of random bean cards, and each card has a number on it corresponding to the number of that type of beans in the deck. You can’t rearrange the order of cards in hand, so you must use them in the order that you’ve picked them up from the deck – unless you can trade them to other players, which is the heart of the game. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, a free badge for Gen Con 2023, free crash space for 3 nights (with up to 3 other winners) at Gen Con 2023, plus a seat at the final rounds of the U.S. National Championship at Gen Con 2023!
