Grand Prix is busting out all over!

The fifth and sixth steps of the 2010 NADF Grand Prix will take place this weekend in Columbus, Ohio, and Cambridge, Mass.

Host site of last year’s world championship, the Origins Game Fair’s Diplomacy tournament will start tomorrow night and run through Saturday night, with one round each evening. Origins is also the second step of the Central Shuffle minor circuit. For more information about Origins, contact Dan Mathias at dcmathias@comcast.net.

The Boston Massacre opens Friday evening with a barbecue. The tournament starts Saturday morning. There will be two rounds on Saturday and one on Sunday. Massacre is also the second step of the minor Nor’Easter circuit. For more information about Massacre, contact Alex Amann at coeus559@gmail.com.
