Sweet! I will totally be there, I already will have the reinforcement packs, but I'd love to meet other Summoner Wars players in the area, just moved out here a few months ago and haven't found anyone yet. Do you know anyone else in the area who plays? I've gone and checked out some local game stores, but haven't really found too much.

Oh yeah, and should I bring my premium board?

[Dustin]

Awesome! Yeah, if you could bring your premium boards, that would be great. I'm still on paper boards haha. Thanks!

Happy new year, summoners. Just a brief reminder that the first Lake Forest Summoner Wars Demo/Tournament is in less than one week away! Hope to see some of you there :)

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be there, I'm really hoping to have gotten my reinforcement packs by then!

[Dustin]

If not, you are welcome to borrow from my reinforcements (excluding Tundra Orcs :))

Had a fun time demoing at Laguna Hills. Introduced the game to a few kids, who really caught on fast. They really like the game-play and expandable aspect of Summoner Wars.

It slowed down towards the end, but dkartzinel was there to play a few games with me.
Tundra Orcs (Dustin) vs. Fallen Kingdom (dkartzinel)
I got really lucky dice, I remember seeing Blagog hit 5 dice at one point in the game
Cave Goblins - Reeker, Scagg in (Dustin) vs. Phoenix Elves - Holleas and Firebeasts in (dkartzinel)
Very close game. Overall, I would say dkartzinel had control of the game with Holleas and her merry crew, but a few lucky pot shots with slingers got 3 hits on Elien. Holleas managed to summon 2 Fire Beasts on my side of the board. At one point I thought I had Elien with the Goblin Invincibility+Sly combo, but a clever Blaze Step blocked it. Well played.
Phoenix Elves - Layela in (Dustin) vs. Vanguard - Mal and Magos in (dkartzinel)
A lucky hand dump and Fire Drake draw in the beginning spelled doom for Sera.

Had a great time, and I look forward to getting a regular group going as well as introducing the game to more people.

Just a friendly reminder that I will be demoing and playing SW at Game Master at Laguna Hills Mall next Saturday from 12pm - 3pm.

Bring your A game :)
