[Deptheads] Queen Games support

[Eric Burgess]

I'm happy to say that Queen Games (the publisher for whom Dirk Henn is
largely the 'house designer') is providing us really strong prize, demo and
library support. And I mean STRONG - we have a lot of games for prizes,
promos for prizes and plenty of games to ensure we have enough to run
good-sized tournaments of all of Dirk Henn's games as well as the hot game
Kingdom Builder (the latest from the designer of Dominion and a great
gateway game, in case you don't know it).

I think we can ixnay the prize order for this convention - although most of
the Monday tournaments will win a copy of the New York Card Game (from Dirk
Henn - a nice new version of the Alhambra Card Game). We have a couple of
top prizes in Colonia and Wallenstein as well (we can figure out where to
give those away). In addition, we can plan to give away copies of New York
in place of dealer dollars for some tournaments. Seriously - we're getting
a few DOZEN of this game and I think we should use them to save on dealer
dollars paid out.

I think we could do this two ways: we either change some tournaments now to
say they are "Sponsored" and give away copies of New York for them. Or we
find a way to give people playing in tournaments an option. I think the
latter is way more administration but it would give people a choice
(especially those that might win more than one tournament with a New York
prize).

Neil - I'm going to mount a big Kingdom Builder tournament. I think we can
give a copy of the game away as the top prize and promos for the game as
second/third prize so we need not put it into the budget. Where can we do a
BIG tournament on the schedule? Any gaps? The game is only an hour and
plays four but I think we'll need multiple rounds of play.
