How Conspiracy Drafts Will Work:
• Players will be sat in 8-man pods as soon as we have 8 people registered. Seating will be determined randomly.
• Each player will receive 3 Conspiracy booster packs to draft. The draft itself and deck building period will not be timed.
• Once all players have finished building their decks, we will seat the first round by breaking the players up into two different 4-player groups. Each group will play one game together.
• Each event will last for 2 rounds, each round will have a 75 minute time limit.
• At the conclusion of the first round we will take the winner and the last player eliminated (the top 2) from each of the 4 player groups and pair them together in round 2. We will also take the first two players eliminated from each group (bottom 2) and pair them together in round 2.
• If time expires in a round and the top two players have not been determined, the two players with the most life will be considered the “winners.”
• In round two, the group made up the the “winners” will receive 3 booster packs for each player they eliminate from the game. Players that are not in the “winners group” will receive 1 booster pack for each player they eliminate.
• The only way to win booster packs is to eliminate players from the game in round 2.
• Players will be expected to provide any additional product their draft may require.

Secret: I highly recommend it.

New Kickstarter Board Game ‘Dogs of War’ Coming in Q4
Monday, June 2nd, 2014
At ACD Games Day – an annual event held by ACD Distribution, owned by Hall of Fame Magic the Gathering player Bob Maher Jr., CoolMiniOrNot shared details about the planned release of Dogs of War, a new European-style board game they will release in the fourth quarter, according to retailer news website ICv2.com.
Designed by Paolo Mori (Libertalia, Augustus), Dogs of War is a game of intrigue and backstabbing, set in a steampunk Renaissance universe. Players take the role of captains of private armies, deployed in favor of rival noble houses. Players use their Dog of War to help them win influence, battles and if needed, betray the house they’ve sworn allegiance to. The goal is not pure military power, but rather to amass power by getting rewards from houses, amassing gold and troops, and gaining influence with the most successful houses.
The box will contain 30 plastic busts of the 5 Dogs of War and their player screens, 50 soldier cards (4 types), 32 tactical cards, 72 house influence tokens (for 6 houses), 36 coins, 60 victory point tokens, and a configurable tile-based game board. The game is for 3 -5 players.
The game was funded on Kickstarter at the beginning of May, and raised $66,703 from 1,139 backers ($58.56/backer).
If this board game sounds sweet, let us know when you stop by your local Battleground Games & Hobbies! Special order available.
