Thanks for the clarification, Danny. This also solves the riddle of why shooting ranges are so popular in Las Vegas (which I also didn't fully understand.) Much appreciated! :thumbsup:

Also, the ID Draft tourney on Saturday afternoon (using the new draft format which Charlie had previously described) was lots of fun! We had 10 players, iirc. I hope any additional tests go well, as I feel the new card pool and rules simplified drafting and will make the format 1) More fun for regular players and 2) an easier intro to 2E for new players.

Congrats to our new World champs, and thanks to everyone for some amazing games & fun over the weekend!

You assume correctly. In the UK, the only people that have (legal) access to guns are members of the armed forces, specially trained cops, James Bond and farmers (while, illegally, a few criminal sorts do too). I'm guessing Niall isn't any of those.

I took some pictures, and so did a couple of others, but I didn't really have the equipment for video recording. (I'm hoping to one day change that.)

we need those camera mounted in the table like they do for world series of poker so you can see player's hole cards (hidden agendas!) and I guess whatever is on the bottom of their side decks lol

Oh that's how Jason won! He wore his Seahawks jersey.

It worked earlier this year, why wouldn't it work again?

Do you have a photo hosting account somewhere? I click on "photos" at the bottom of your posts and all I get is a SQuirreL error.

Damn squirrels.
