It was important to the World Series of Board Gaming to choose games based on merit and not availability. Excluding a game that fit our parameters simply because we could not obtain enough copies is not something that we were willing to do. We felt that the tournament would be lessened if we took that approach. Requiring that all entrants, excluding those outside the USA and additional members from the same household choosing the same game(s), bring a copy of their chosen game(s) enables the World Series of Board Gaming to run professionally, smoothly and in the time allowed. From time to time we do understand that there may be individuals that have a hardship and because of that hardship find it impossible to bring a copy of a game. If you feel bringing a copy of a game would qualify as a hardship situation please contact us. Our Tournament Game Officials will review your request and let you know their decision for exempting you from bringing the game(s) in question.
