Season 7 kicks off at Conception

Season 6 isn’t even cold, and already, we’re looking ahead to next year. Season 7 league play will officially kick off the weekend of Sept. 24 at the Conception gaming convention at the College of Dupage. Tony Prokes will be our master of ceremonies for a fun weekend of Diplomacy.

He’ll start things off with time-limited novice games on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. These games will not count toward league play. The idea is to spread the Diplomacy gospel, so if you’ve got friends who want to learn to play, bring them to this event.

League play will start at 3 p.m. with as many boards as we can muster. These games will be standard, open-ended Weasel weekend fare.

Then on Sunday, we’ll hold our first variant ever, a game of Colonial Diplomacy from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This game will not count toward the standings.

 

Note that Conception charges an entry fee of $15 per day, or $30 for the whole weekend.

    Going to have to bow out. My 3 match volleyball tournament Sat morning has turned into a 6 match tournament. No way I will be able to make the 3pm start time now.

    Very sorry.

    We’re close to filling the Sunday game of Colonial Diplomacy. Matt Sundstrom is willing to play Saturday or Sunday, but not both days. Anyone else want to play on either day? I’m trying to see if I can clear my schedule for Sunday.
