@SuperbattleshipYamato That’s just what I think. Also, my idea was stolen from the Nintendo world championship, the first esports event. Maybe I’m wrong and Hasbro\Renegade would devote resources. I was just looking at it by way of having been a Nerf fan. I watched the devolution of well built, quality products into clipped together, faulty hunks of plastic. I know that it’s not the way our franchise is immediately headed, but things can change quickly; like when Renegade got us a new game after years of reprints and poor management and zombies. Plus, the fan base is passionate. Perhaps we could bond together. After all, we do here! But we’d need to find players willing to contribute money and time to the cause.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Yeah. To be honest, I have really only played it once.

@djensen I love this idea! But as I have said, there are some holes in this. Many players have house rules not everyone agrees with. If this is the case, some (newer) players who have only played the base game could pair with players who play heavily modded versions, like @The-Captain . Also, can we make 1941 not allowed? It’s the most basic and unfun of any game. That’s my two cents.

@SuperbattleshipYamato They have rich donations contributed by wealthy benefactors, so the chess players are a good deal wealthier. Also, chess is ancient, so it’s very well known and popular. The rules have been written down for hundreds of years. So I imagine it has something to do with that.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I mean, it could happen. But there are three reasons it most likely won’t.

1. Hasbro is too cheap. Does this even require explanation?
2. Players don’t always agree on rules. After all, there are all kinds of house rules, optionals, and third party dice/pieces. I suppose ther could be multiple categories you could compete in, but that leads into my third point.
3. It costs too much. Even if Hasbro let it happen and players magically agreed, the cost would drive both parties the way of my username. Would you pay 100 bucks to enter after driving 50 or more miles? That only makes sense for people who live in the inner city.

Maybe we should have a large set of preliminary tournaments in cities around the globe, with the winners of each facing their next closest winner and so on until there is only one player left. Good luck getting it televised, though.

I’m going to use them in the same way my group uses pillboxes from a reprint of D-day.

I’m not saying it’s bad, but it’s certainly not something I’m used to. What Renegade is doing is definitely cool.

Huh. I knew that plenty of players use d10 or above, but I never thought the hallowed designers would do such a thing.
