European Tournament CoC LCG, IRV Liège. Saturday 27th October 2012

During the 30th International Rendez-Vous (IRV) of the Objectif-Jeux association (http://www.objectif-jeux.be), the organization staff, leaded by Frédéric Taton, suggests that you take part to the European CoC Championship in Liège, as well as to side events. An international event with great prizes you would not want to miss.

Last year, the tournament gathered 26 players from all over the world (including Graham Hill, from Japan). You can read a full review (in French, but with a lot of pictures) there:  cenacle-hd.bb-fr.com/t2169p150-liege-asylum-irv-2011#27793

Here is the whole lot of us:

Informations about this year's edition are gathered in the following ad (the design might change, but the data should remain stable):

We thank Nessa for her very nice work on this ad (other works available at www.arbredenessa.net/).

Ruling

• The 6th and last AP from Revelations cycle "Touched by the Abyss" is tournament legal, as written there: www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp
• FAQ, 2.3.1 will also be in application: www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/coc/support/2-3/coc-faq%20Ver%202.3%20print-friendly.pdf]http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/coc/support/2-3/coc-faq%20Ver%202.3%20print-friendly.pdf
• Suiss pairing, 45 minutes. Second player will be allowed to play an extra turn if the game ends during the first player's turn. After that, the player that has won the more stories wins.

Travel advices

Note that Liège has an international railway station (direct connections with, e.g. Paris, Köln, Frankfurt) and is not far away from the international Brussels Airport (Belgium is a very small country) and Flughafen Frankfurt.

Special Event will be played Sunday 28th October 2012 from 11:00am. Free participation, prizes for every participant.

We will play an original variant design by Achil, from Liège cultists: Ticking Clock and Hidden Stories. It adds a few twists which
- makes the game less predictable (hidden stories and mandatory to trigger when won),
- gives temporary advantages to some factions depending of the moment of the day/night (dawn --> day --> twilight --> night --> dawn -->…)
- and makes the Day/Night cards more versatile .


Rules, new story cards and new cards necessary for this variant are downloadable here:

An AWESOME tournament near where I live, organized by a cool community and, last but not least, on my birthday???

I'll be there :DDD

Francesco

Cool, bring cake for everyone!

Sure we will prepare a special cake for the occasion. Not only for Francesco (konx), bu for the IRV as well, because it is the 30th one. IRV is the game convention of Objectif Jeux, which kindly hosts the European Championship for the second year, in agreement with Wolfgang "Thorondor" Penetsdorfer.

 wow. cool idea europe! hope your tournament is a smashing success.

Thanks piszcadz. In fact, last year European Championship (already organised in Liège) was seemingly the biggest Call of Cthulhu tournament in the World in terms of participants: 26 players…

I hope we will do as good as last year…

FFG officially announces the Euro Champ on their webpage:
[url=http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3620]http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3620[/url]

Infos:

Tournament Rules: Official FFG rules, including FAQ 2.2. (restricted list fully applied)

Tournament Legal Cards: all LCG cards, up to the last edited AP "Touched by the Abyss" included.

Tournament Story Deck: from the AP "The Shifting Sands"

Inclusion of "Touched by the Abyss" AP is in contradiction to the current Tournament Rules (2.3).

Note also that folks in most (or all) parts of Europe, would have to order from the US, if they wanted to have those cards.

I confirm that the 6th and last AP from Revelations cycle "Touched by the Abyss" is tournament legal, as written there:

www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp

" Only one small, but important change was made to the Tournament Rules; the Asylum Pack CT58 Touched by the Abyss was added into the official tournament card pool."

It has been added in the version 2.3.1 of Tournament rules (see link here above)

It is available in Liège since last month, so really it is not more difficult to get it than any other previous AP.

FAQ, 2.3.1 will also be in application (same link as above)
 

Please note that the Tournament rules were update after my post. 

Anyway, it's nice that all of the packs are available in Belgium. They aren't in Germany!  I ordered the ones I wanted from the US. Not sure whether they will get here in time. Maybe I can arrange to pick them up in Liege, if the delivery from the US doesn't arrive.  Can you tell be the name of the shop there, please?

L'Autre Monde is the local "dealer"
