Introduction
6 out of the 7 players for the 2E championships stayed for the Tribbles Championships. Since only me and Anna had played before, I had made all the decks for people to borrow. 4 of the decks where starters with a bit of extra cards, and 2 where virtual only decks.

I played with a Go-deck that uses Rescue and Stampede, as well as Replay to be able to "go around". Theoretically, if the right cards are in my discard pile, I can play my entire starting hand on my first turn. I was not close today though :P

Round 1 ()
We sat around one table and Jimmy started, Johan was second, Anna third, me fourth, Joakim fifth and Mats at sixth position.

The first round was fairly quick and Jimmy when out with a staggering 124 tribbles! He also scored 100 tribbles on a poison, while Mats scored 1 tribble on his poison.

The second round took a bit longer. And after putting a 100.000 antidote on top of my deck, I got poisoned by Mats and could end the round with and aditional 211.010 tribbles in my play pile. In this round Jimmy used a Toxin and Anna showed him a 100.000 Tally, which they scored 50.000 points each from.

In round 3 I didn't get to play much. I have never seen so many reverse cards and skip cards been played in one round! It was quite a long round, but still Johan only managed to have 4133 tribbles in his pile when he went out.

Round 4 was fairly long, and a couple of 1, and 10 point poisons where played here. In the end Joakim went out with 103123 tribbles, his only points of the day and enough to earn him the third place.

Round 5 was not very long, Jimmy scored 100.000 on a Toxin, and I copied his Toxin for 100.000 points of my own. I also went out and scored 11.322 tribbles for that.

Even if this was only Swedish nationals and not Worlds, I would like to say I "made a Neil", I walked into the championships as the reigning 2E champion and when the dust settled I walked away as the Tribbles champion.
