EURO QUEST VI
A European-Style Gaming Conference
November, 6 - 9, 2008
Days Hotel
9615 Deereco Road
Timonium, Maryland 21090
     
What?
Euro Quest is a unique blend of tournaments and open gaming.

Why?
Euro Quest will provide a competitive forum for the play of popular "European" style boardgames in a focused, in-depth format not available elsewhere. All tournaments will be run to provide multiple opportunities to compete in the same game with a minimum of three preliminary heats preceeding the elimination rounds.

Tournaments
Tournaments included: Up to 11 different main event tournaments, expected to include (subject to GM commitment): Caylus, Power Grid, Princes of Florence, Puerto Rico, Ra, St. Petersburg, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride Combo, Thurn und Taxis, and one other as yet-to-be identified game, plus the Hot New Game, to be announced at the 2008 World Boardgaming Championships (http://www.boardgamers.org/).

Wild Card Event: A unique, free-form event including up to 15 titles. Games likely to be included for 2008 are: Age of Empires III, Alhambra, Blue Moon City, Can't Stop, Cuba, Goa, Imperial, Notre Dame, Pillars of the Earth, San Juan, Vegas Showdown, Yspahan, and a Hot new Essen game to be named by November 1, 2008. Note: This list is subject to change due to GM availability and due to the fact that one of these games may be promoted to Main Event Tournament Status. BPA plaques will be awarded for each event, best team and best overall individual performance - providing plenty of laurel opportunities for those who want to improve their standings in BPA's annual Caesar competition.

Open Gaming
Dedicated open gaming space will be provided in the main gaming hall during the entire duration of the convention, featuring the Euro Quest Game Library.
