First Ever World Series of Board Gaming Event Announced with $25k Grand Prize

The very first thing that kicked off the Dice Tower Autumn Spectacular was an announcement of a big and first-of-its-kind event that is coming. It was announced that in Las Vegas next year, September 28th through October 2nd, there will be the first-ever WORLD SERIES OF BOARD GAMING with gold championship rings and a grand prize of $25,000! In addition, to the announcement via Dice Tower, additional information from PR director Brian Muller in this original Board Game Halv article. 

Over the first four days will be preliminary "ring rounds" of 16 different games that will be announced by different board game personalities over the month of October (list below will be updated as they are announced). Two games on 9/28, 4 games on 9/29, 5 games on 9/30 and 5 games on 10/1 that will have several rounds. The winner of each will not only advance to the semi-finals, but they will take home a championship ring! You can play in up to four of these ring rounds, a maximum of one per day.

The finals will take place on Sunday, October 2, 2022. 16 players will be split into 4 games, all of which they hadn't played in the initial ring rounds (there will be a drawing, as well as, a veto system). This will result in a 4 player final game that will again be a new game from the 16 that no one played and that will determine the ultimate winner that will take home the $25k and a $3k championship bracelet. Second place will get $10k and third place will take home $5k.

There is will also be the whole convention experience with an exhibitor hall and side-events! Pricing and more details are still to come...
