Beginning in March, Empire will be holding a series of tournaments each Wednesday night: Each tournament will be one of the 16 games to be played during the World Series of Board Gaming. Winners from these tournaments will qualify for a championship night, to be held at the end of the season, where our winners will compete for the Grand Prize. (Stay And Play Package for WSBG, including 5 days of gaming and tournament entries, and 4 nights hotel stay $1100 value!) If the winner has already qualified for the Final Championship day, the highest placing competitor who as not qualified yet will qualify. Winners of multiple events can receive a "home-field advantage" in the semi-finals round! The WSBG main event games cover a wide range of genres and complexity levels. Games at the WSBG this year are: Wingspan, Great Western Trail, The White Castle, Heat: Pedal to the Metal, Ark Nova, Brass: Birmingham, Lost Ruins of Arnak, Ra, Earth, Dune: Imperium Uprising, Acquire, Azul, Terraforming Mars, The Castles of Burgundy, Cascadia, Splendor ------------------------ What does a ticket to our Road to the World Series of Board Gaming event get you? $15 gets you entry to the event, and all day open play. You will also get a free drink with your entry, and a raffle ticket. Each night will feature a GIVEAWAY RAFFLE! Each participant will receive a raffle ticket, and a copy of whichever game is being played the following week will be raffled off. ----------------------- Tournament Structure: Each night, participants will play one of the 16 games played at the WSBG this year. Each night will consist of up to 16 players. Round 1: 4 games, of up to 4 players each. Winners advance to Round 2. Round 2: 4 Players play to become Store Champion of the game being played that evening. Champions will be invited back at the end of the season to play in our Tournament Championships, to compete for the Grand Prize. If the Champion already has an invitation to the Finals tournament, the invitation will be awarded to the highest placing competitor who has not secured their spot in the Semi-Finals. In the Semi-Finals at the end of the season, the competitors with the most event wins will get to choose their Semi-Finals game as a "home-field advantage." Where applicable, we will use rules adjustments or specific modules/expansions, based on WSBG practices. Championship Day Structure: We will be using a similar structure to the WSBG for semi-finals and finals games, with a slight difference. Semi-Finals: Players will be grouped together to make up to 4 games, as evenly as possible. A seeding system will be used to create the match-ups for the semi-finals tables. Games will be chosen as such: At a table, any games that were won by a Champion at that table may not be played. Out of the remaining games, the player who has won the most Championships may choose the game for that table (Home-field advantage.) If players are tied, or there is not someone with multiple wins, the game will be randomly drawn from the remaining games. Finals: The semi-finals winners will play 1 more game for the Grand Prize. This game will be randomly drawn, from games that none of the players have previously won a Championship or semi-finals game. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/albuquerque/road-to-the-world-series-of-board-gaming-wingspan/200027979918538 - **Event Categories**: sports, tournaments, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://empireboardgamelibrary.com/store/Road-to-WSBG-Event-Pass-p665828959?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=albuquerque-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Albuquerque - **state**: NM - **country**: United States - **location**: Empire Board Game Library - **lat**: 35.08016 - **long**: -106.60551 - **full address**: Empire Board Game Library, 3503 Central Ave, Albuquerque, NM 87106-1454, United States,Albuquerque, New Mexico ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Empire Board Game Library (https://allevents.in/org/empire-board-game-library/12703498) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/3b3aad5d4d78f75a9025235cdc7dc49b70727966c5d4a9802d075bf110716882-rimg-w960-h500-dc470848-gmir?v=1743181233 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/d3a5e5574a1574f9c53025eb19d2d71048b5239b41965a86b894861e9958f323-rimg-w300-h300-dc470849-gmir?v=1743181234 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 02 Apr, 2025 at 06:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Empire Board Game Library, 3503 Central Ave, Albuquerque, NM 87106-1454, United States,Albuquerque, New Mexico - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Empire Board Game Library - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** sports, tournaments, trips-adventures - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Road To The World Series of Board Gaming - Wingspan ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "SportsEvent", "name": "Road To The World Series of Board Gaming - Wingspan", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/3b3aad5d4d78f75a9025235cdc7dc49b70727966c5d4a9802d075bf110716882-rimg-w960-h500-dc470848-gmir?v=1743181233", "startDate": "2025-04-02", "url": "https://allevents.in/albuquerque/road-to-the-world-series-of-board-gaming-wingspan/200027979918538", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Empire Board Game Library", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "3503 Central Ave, Albuquerque, NM 87106-1454, United States,Albuquerque, New Mexico", "addressLocality": "Albuquerque", "addressRegion": "NM", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "35.08016", "longitude": "-106.60551" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Empire wants to send YOU to the World Series of Board Gaming 2025 in Las Vegas!
