Diamonds - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Fri 7pm - Finals: Fri 9pm
Diamonds is a trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamonds — not cards bearing that suit, mind you, but rather actual “Diamond Crystals” (acrylic crystals) included in the game.
Coup - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Fri 9pm - Finals: Fri 11 pm
You are head of a family in an Italian city-state, a city run by a weak and corrupt court. You need to manipulate, bluff and bribe your way to power. Your object is to destroy the influence of all the other families, forcing them into exile.
Wordsy - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sat 9am - Finals: Sat 11am
In each round of Wordsy, players study the 8 letters on the board in real time. The first player to write down a word sets the bar, and other players compete to create higher scoring words (using any letters) than the fastest player!
Ice Cool - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sat 11am - Finals: Sat 1pm
A dexterity flicking game where, during each round, one of the players takes the role of the Hall Monitor, aiming to catch
other penguins. Other players are penguins trying to run through doors, gaining fish (and points) on their way.
SHOBU - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sat 2pm - Finals: Sat 4pm
This game from Smirk & Dagger is a casual-style, card-drafting game in which you quickly build your hand each round,
collecting cards you want and poisoning your opponent’s hand by passing along cards you think they can’t use.
Pyramid Poker - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sat 4pm - Finals: Sat 6pm
In Pyramid Poker two-players take turns placing blocks into a two-dimensional pyramid-shaped structure, seeing only their blocks, then they take turns removing a block from the pyramid and placing it into poker hands that they’re constructing.
New York Slice - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sat 7pm - Finals: Sat 9pm
Players slice pizzas into portions, giving their opponents first choice and taking the leftovers. From veggie to Hawaiian to meat lover’s, each player decides if they want to eat or keep slices, building the best collection of pizzas possible!
Skull King - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sat 9pm - Finals: Sat 11pm
Skull King is a trick-taking game similar to Oh Hell!, Wizard and Spades, with players needing to state how many tricks they think they’ll win each round. Pirates and other special cards add to the strategy.
Dimension - Illinois State Tourney Qualifier: Sun 10am - Finals: Sun 12pm
Players stack balls on top of one another and side to side, following a set up randomly drawn rules. These challenges
aren’t easy as some colors shouldn’t touch one another, while other must touch, and time is of the essence!
