As many of you are no doubt aware, we’re a bit of a bunch of nerds. This school holidays, we’re going to channel our nerdiness and try something new.

Sabre World War: Winter Campaign (Risk, but with sabre teams)

In the second week of the July school holidays, just in time to celebrate World Championships, we are running our nerdiest sabre tournament ever.

Basically, it’s Risk, but with sabre teams as players.
Want to take a territory? You’d better be ready to actually fight for it.

The Logistics:

Days: Monday, July 15 to Thursday, July 18.
Game runs 9am to 5pm, doors open from 8am.

Format: 3 player teams.
Yes, you can pick you own.
Yes, we will be putting handicaps on teams we consider to be OP.

Player eligibility: Absolutely everyone.
If you have a day free and want to do some fencing, please contact us and we’ll see if we can find you a team to join.

Cost: $75 per day or $300 for all 4 days, including gear.
BYO lunch and snacks.

THE RULES:

If territory is empty -> add token, take over territory.
If territory is occupied -> 45-point team bout. Winner takes territory.

Wiped out teams -> respawn in random territory.
New players can join existing teams.
Teams who lose players can either double-fence, recruit a new member or be annexed by existing teams.

The team with the most territory at the end of the week wins!
