On the Road…GenCon

After all of the fun and excitement of Origins and our HeroClix National tournament, we turn to the next big event on the calendar which is GenCon on August 4-7, 2011 (www.gencon.com).  This is the big event where we blow out all of the stops with tourneys of all shapes and sizes and for all levels of skill as well.

Are you a competitive player?  Then the HeroClix World Championship is for you.  Play in a grinder with 7 fellow players and prove that you can emerge undefeated and win a convention LE prize and move onto the Semi-Finals portion of the HeroClix World Championship event where you will join the top 4 players from the HeroClix National Championship from Origins.  Grinders allow you to play whenever we have 8 players ready to go.  Come early! Stay late!  The choice is yours with these grinder events.  Make it through the Semi-Final event and count yourself amongst the top 16 HeroClix players in the World.  Battle it out on Sunday with the other 16 players for the right to help design a HeroClix figure for a future expansion (pending licensor approval of course) plus other prizes if you are the HeroClix World Champion.

If the HeroClix World Championship isn’t your thing then play in a Battle Royale, King of the Hill, or 1 of 8 other tourneys over the course of 4 days like the HeroClix Giant Size Super Booster event or the HeroClix Golden Age event.  Don’t want the pressure of playing in an event, then HeroClix Open Play is for you!  Give us a generic ticket and you can play whatever type of HeroClix game that you want with your friends (of course pending available table space).  We listened to the feedback from last year and will have extended hours on Thursday and Friday so you can play from 9 AM in the morning until Midnight.  That’s 15 hours of HeroClix gaming! (Boy am I and the other volunteers going to be tired!)  An important thing to note is that playing in tourneys in the hall requires GenCon specific event tickets or generic event tickets as we are not allowed to take cash for events.  Start signing up for ticketed events on May 1st at the GenCon website.

Don’t want to play in a tourney, then stop by the booth where you can demo our dice game Quarriors, explore space in the Star Trek Expeditions game, battle it out with Street Fighter HeroClix, or see a demo of HeroClix Online plus many other games yet to be revealed.  Want to purchase product in the booth, it must be done with cash (as always it’s while supplies last).

Please don’t forget to keep coming back to the WizKids website as we will be having several announcements in the coming weeks like retirement, a new player’s guide, and the cool prizes of….sorry, don’t want to spoil Jerome’s fun on this one!

We look forward to seeing all of you at GenCon 2011!
