The King is dead, long live the Queen!

Minnesota’s premiere Game of Thrones tournament has been reborn as "Queen of the Andals." Join us on September 22nd at the Fantasy Flight Games Center and bear witness the arrival of the true Queen of Westeros.

This year, we're shaking things up. There are beautiful playmats still on the line for the top 4 players, but for everyone else you will choose your desired rewards using a point-based system. You'll gain points for each match you participate in and the better you perform during the tournament, the more points you'll earn to exchange for prizes. But even if your performance isn't what you had hoped for, you'll still walk away with plenty of goodies.

In addition, every participant will also be given a new (and gorgeous) alt art version of Blood of the Dragon featuring a stunning illustration by Claudia Carafe. Please RSVP on Facebook so we can accommodate for space and prizes. 

Fire and blood!

Yes, you read that right. We're offering over thirty unique alt arts at this tournament. And believe it or not, there's still more to come. The best part is, you pick what you want to walk away with. Of course, we'll have a bunch of official FFG alt arts on hand too, if that's what you want to spend your points on.

Speaking of points, there's one other way you can earn them. Once per round, 3 extra points will be on the line. To earn them, you (or your opponent) must marshal, setup, or play a Queen character (or give a character the "Queen" trait). As soon as this happens, the first player at the table who raises their hand and shouts "YASSS QUEEN!!!" will receive the bonus points. A spoken "yas queen" at conversational volume will not be accepted. Additional "YASSS QUEEN'S" from other players is not only permitted, but encouraged. To summarize:

+ 2 points per match played
+ 2 poins per match won
+ 3 points per #YASQUEEN
