Memoir at World Boardgaming Championships - July 2023
Posted: 06 April 2023, 22:33
The Memoir tournament at this summer's 2023 World Boardgaming Championships will be held Thursday-Friday, July 27-28.
WBC will again be held at Seven Springs Resort, near Pittsburgh, PA, USA. (Details at https://www.boardgamers.org/wbcindex.html .) The full convention lasts 9 days (July 22-30 this year), and will include more than 100 tournaments.
This tournament will be Single Elimination all day Friday, with a Mulligan round Thursday evening. In each match, you play both sides against your opponent. There will be a teaching demo beforehand for new players and to review special rules for experienced players. If you lose in the Mulligan, you can re-enter with a clean slate in round 1 on Friday morning.
In addition, we'll have 5 Overlords between Thursday and Saturday.
We’ve got an exciting group of scenarios for this year’s tournament, including battles from Russia, Normandy, Pacific Islands, and the Ardennes.
• Mulligan & Round 1 – Velikaya Bridgehead
• Round 2 – Capturing the Crossing
• Round 3 – Capture of Parry
• Round 4 – The Meat Grinder
• Round 5 – Battle of Celles (Winter Combat cards)
• Round 6 – Resistance at Marvie (Breakthrough, with Winter Combat cards)
Special rules for each scenarios will be explained at the beginning of the round, and help sheets will be available.
If you bring just a base game, we'll supply what you need to play every scenario. (But if you have Eastern Front, it'll be helpful to bring it for Round 1, and Pacific Theater will be helpful for Rounds 3-4.)
This is the largest face-to-face Memoir tournament in North America, and the winner earns the right to compete in the online Champions Trophy tournament.
WBC features tournaments for more than 100 different games, such as Battle Cry, C&C Napoleonics, C&C Ancients, and C&C: Medieval. Also ... tournaments for DoW games Ticket to Ride, Small World, Five Tribes, and Pirate's Cove. The full convention will be July 22-July 30.
You register for the convention at their website (mentioned at the top of this post). Individual tournaments don't have pre-registration. You just show up at the scheduled time and place.
