There are youtube vids of tournament play with commentary, or tutorials if you really want to get into it, but essentially it's 2 teams of 5 trying to complete one of three possible win conditions first. Each team is 4 'drones' and a queen. The queen can attack and take control of certain items, the drones can collect things and/or upgrade themselves to be faster and/or fighters. The play area joust-ish with floating platforms and jumping/flying between them.

This isn't actually true is it? Sure, the after party crowd is far smaller than the full attendance - but it's not actually less people than games is it? Don't the guys bringing all those multicades in the back hall, and the games in the basement earn bands too?

Hmm... take games over and THEN go to Tom Taylors, or go to Tom's first and then load games. Decisions, decisions.

No worries, you don't have to go outside to get to baggage claim.

Ended up doing this one. -----^

Should have done this one -----^ Barring how damn stuffed the game room was by 6pm.

Unless terry is willing to lend out a ton of pingulps and take them back to sell as used, that's an expensive proposition.

Maybe some better prizes for the 'best in show' bit, to hopefully encourage people to bring in nicer games? You'd have to do some sort of a judging group for determining winners though, and leave the after party vote to a 'peoples choice' kind of deal, since very few people seem to care.
