One of the events I'm most excited about on our schedule this year is the Tichu Tournament. Tichu is a partnership card game (2 vs. 2) that merges rules from Poker and Janitor. While players play increasingly larger poker hands in attempts to win tricks, the real trick to the game is accurately predicting whether you will be the first to rid yourself of cards in a round.Tichu is a favorite among several of the FallCon crew and we've seen its popularity increase dramatically over the last few years at our convention. Last year, it definitely made a breakthrough and appeared to be the default game being played in between scheduled events. Considering the apparent popularity among our attendees, it made perfect sense to add it to our schedule.
The plan is to run the event as a 16-team single elimination event. Highest score after each 45 minute round or first team to reach 1000+ pts will move on to the next round. Last round will go the full distance to 1000 pts. We want to encourage folks to register with their partners but you can also register for the event as an individual and we will pair you up. We anticipate this event to fill up so we'd recommend you register as soon as you can.
In a moment of amazing synchronicity, the Sentry Box is providing you the perfect opportunity to learn the game, test the local competition or brush those cobwebs away before FallCon! Greg is hosting his very own Tichu Tournament at the Box on Thursday July 29th. Entry is $10 but you end up getting that back in store credit. Plus you have a chance of earning some additional store credits if you win the tourney - not to the mention the priceless bragging rights.
See you there!
