Guild Ball

After making its first appearance last year as a demo table Guild Ball is back at Conquest this year with a full 16 person tournament.

Gambit Games is really pleased to be hosting a tournament this year. It is likely to be one of our most popular events. Tickets for this event sold out in a matter of minutes when it was announced earlier in the year, making it the fastest ever selling event.

We will have a demo are for this great game on the day as well for those that did not get a chance to enter the tournament or who have not played yet.

Gambit Games would like to say a massive thank you to Paul Waters for organising this for us.

War Machine

Last year David Purkiss won for the second year in a row - could you be the one to break his winning streak?

Warmachine is one of Gambit Games premier events and it is fitting that it is the first tournament confirmed for CONQUEST 2016.

Prices are the same as last year with entry to CONQUEST will being just £5 and the Warmachine tournament costing you an extra £7 making it £12 in total. This price will go up on the day but given the interest in Warmachine it is very likely that the event will sell out before hand - so if you want a place please book it soon!

The format for the event will be the same as last year but with an earlier start and longer lunch break to allow players more time to get around to the stall. The format will be as follows...

50 point Warmachine and Hordes Steamroller Tournament 

CONQUEST  will be open from 10am but we will be starting the Warmachine at 9am. List Submission by 9:15am, with the first game starting at 9:30.
Event will aim to finish no later than 8pm
Using 2016 SR rules pack
2 Lists
Divide and Conquer (each list must be used at least once)
Deathclock!
Maximum of 16 players

Conquest 3 Tickets

Tickets for Conquest 3 are now available from Eventbrite. Entry will again be just £5 and tournaments will cost extra. Tournaments will be announced over the coming weeks and will be added to the site once these details are announced.

Tickets can also be purchased in cash (which will avoid any fee's) and these can be purchased at any of our Gambit events or from KD Games in Shoreham. Please note when purchasing tickets in cash we will need an email address so that we can send the ticket to you (there will be no paper tickets)

CONQUEST 3

Conquest 3 is coming to Shoreham again in 2016. We will be at the Shoreham Centre on Saturday 28th October. This time we are bigger than ever. We have the whole centre which means more stalls, more tournament and more opportunity to plan great games - hopefully see you there.

Tickets will go on sale in March - get yours soon especially if you want to play in one of our tournaments.

Cardfight Vanguard Grand Champion

Cardfight Vanguard has gone from strength to strength in 2015. From only getting 4 players to the weekly league event to getting 20 for the last week in December has been one of the highlights of the year for me.

It was also one of the highest attended tournament at CONQUEST in September and will hopefully be even bigger in 2016.

So this year we will be running an end of year tournament. Actually its for last year!

I have invited the top 20 highest scorers to attend a 4 round swiss event on Friay 8th January at the Royal British Legion in Shoreham with the top four players playing off to see who will be the 2015 champion.

Some interesting stats for 2015 are the we hosted 56 events (mostly league on a Tuesday at the Royal George) and the player that attended the most was Jacob who did almost all of them missing just 2!

The highest scoring player and effectively our number one seed is Scott Putman. The player that won the most events was Jason Rose who clocked up an impressive 14 wins from just 17 events played and also gets the highest average points at 11.12 per event.

Good luck to everyone on Friday and may the best man win!

Gambit Games End of Year Tournament 2015

The time has finally come to invite players to the KD Games/Gambit Games end of year grand tournament! As we did last year we will be inviting 20 players, allowing that up to 4 can not come, meaning there will still be a minimum of 16! If it goes below 16 then I will invite the next players on the rankings!

Since January we have had a total of 81 players attend one of our events which include prereleases, launch parties, game days, junior competitions and of course KD Magic Nights (Friday Night Magic)! There have been over 72 different events of various formats and types!

Firstly last years champion will get a chance to come back and defend his title,so Michael Pike is the first on the list! Sam Chapman, Simon Wright and David Sanders are the next as they won in previous years.

Our winner from gaming convention 'CONQUEST' which was Mike is already on the list so onto pre-release events

The grand tournament is invite only and anyone that has won an individual pre-release during the year will automatically get an invite, so this adds in the following players:

Nathan Minter, Daniel Bonnett and Aaron Burns Lees!

Also included will be the player who has scored the highest average in all the events they have played in this year (they must have played in at least 5 events) which is Michael Pike with an impressive 8,97! As he is already on the list we moved down the highest average scores to the next player not already invited which will be Chris Sisley at 7.17!

Finally we then add in the top 12 ranked players not including those already selected to take the total to 18 players which are:

Paul Da Vall, Ivan Miles, Elliott Miles, Nick Murphy Cunningham, Faron Young, Bell Benstead, George Lake, Nick Lewis, Marc Le Cras, George Kennedy, Gibby Gumbrell and Piers Kennedy.

All players will receive an invite in the next day or so via facebook and I would ask that you please reply as soon as possible as if you can not attend then I can invite the next players on the list!

The Grand Tournament will be held on Sunday 27th December (as part of our last Gambit Sunday) starting at 10am and finishing at 6pm.

The event will consist of a draft lasting 3 rounds, followed by a break for lunch and then 1 rounds of STANDARD and 2 or MODERN. Entry to the event will cost £13 (£4 for Gambit Games and £9 to cover the Battle for Zendikar draft)

The winner will receive a signed John Avon Playmat...

Good luck to everyone that has qualified and I hope that you can make it to fight for the right of being the 2015 Gambit Grand Master!
