Grand Prix Trial: Las Vegas
Grand Prix: Las Vegas is aiming to be one of the largest Magic tournaments ever held, hoping to see upwards of TEN THOUSAND players. Held on May 28th-31st in Las Vegas, Nevada, and featuring the by-then recently released, highly anticipated Modern Masters 2015 set and plenty of sealed deck tournament play, it has a good chance of hitting capacity.

GameKnight is proud to present the Winnipeg Magic community with our Grand Prix Trial for the Las Vegas GP. Winning a Trial earns you a coveted two-round bye at the associate Grand Prix, both letting you skip the early rounds as well as sleep in a bit.

Our GPT: Las Vegas will be a sealed deck tournament held on Sunday, April 19th, here at GameKnight Games.

Date: April 19th, 2015
Registration: 11 am
Tournament Start: Noon

GotMGame of the Month: Black Gold

GameKnight's Game of the Month for April is Fantasy Flight's Black Gold. Until April 30th, 2015, this game is available at a 20% discount!

 

Game description from the publisher:

 

Join the race to become the wealthiest son of a gun in West Texas!

 

The year is 1922. The Texas Oil Boom has been in full swing for 20 years, and greedy landowners have laid claim to most of the oil reserves. Prepare to head West, surveying the Permian Basin for profitable gushers and gaining more wealth than your fellow prospectors, before the companies of East Texas sweep in and stake their claim against you.

 

Black Gold is a game of drilling and discovery for 2-5 prospectors, and play can last from 1-2 hours. Offering an abundance of intriguing gameplay choices and optional rules, Black Gold presents a new experience of strategy and exploration every time. The historically inspired and detailed game components, together with the tense and exciting atmosphere of warring against your fellow prospectors, will almost have you speaking with a 'twang!
