The preliminary tournament round is going to be on Saturday from 1pm-4pm and will be pre-constructed Gruff. This event is open registration for anyone that is interested. You can bring your own deck or use one of the pre-made decks that Studio Woe will be providing. Every participant will get a play set of 12 "GenCon 2016" sliders. Winners will receive exclusive Fluttermind playmats (Glory be to his feathered flagella) that have never been available before GenCon. You can register for the qualifying rounds here! The final round is on Sunday from 1pm-4pm and will be by invitation only (All first round winners will be invited). The format for this tournament will be drafting in 8-player pods. Players will draft from both Gruff and Clash of the Battle Goats (Including Legendary gruffs). If you want to get familiar with the set prior to the tournament you can access the print and play .pdfs here (Lots of editing has taken place since I made these documents. Don't panic if you see a typo.) The winner will be the official Gruff Champion for 2016 and will collaborate with Studio Woe to create their own Shepherd which will be included in an upcoming expansion for the game! In manufacturing news, the presses are running! The current schedule looks like manufacturing will be complete in early September. Freight should arrive at warehouses in Mid October and backers will be getting games in early November with a mid November retail release date. Of course this is all a ways out and is prone to disruption, but I wanted to keep you in the loop. Everything is going great and we are a good bit ahead of schedule.
Thanks so much for your support!
