The Northeast Regional Puerto Rico Tournament

In 1493 Christopher Columbus discovered the eastern-most island of the Great Antilles.

In 2004, 511 years later Wild Gazebo Productions hosts the 1^st Northeast Regional Puerto Rico Tournament! Which roles will you play in this new world: Prospector? Governor? Settler? Trader? Whatever you do, you have one goal: to achieve the greatest prosperity and highest reputation! Who will have the most fruitful plantation? Who will build the most impressive buildings?, who will earn the most victory points?, and who will be the Regional Champion!

Will you own the most prosperous plantations? Will you build the most valuable buildings? You have but one goal: achieve the greatest prosperity and highest respect! 

5 Preliminary Rounds (held Friday 8PM, Friday 10PM, Saturday 9AM, Saturday 11AM, and Saturday 2PM) will determine who advances to the second and third rounds. The first place finisher at each table in the preliminary rounds advances to the second round.

You may sign up for more than one preliminary round, but you may only advance once.

The second round will be held Saturday at 8PM, and the third and final round, determining the overall Puerto Rico champ, will occur on Sunday at 11AM.

All preliminary rounds will use standard Puerto Rico rules, however, the final round will use the expansion set.

Munckinpalooza II

(The Northeast Regional Munchkin Tournament)

You thought it was safe to go back into the dungeon. You were wrong, and now you're surrounded by more munchkins than you can shake a pointy stick at effectively. All you can do now is join them.

Wild Gazebo Productions and MEPACon are proud to present Munchkinpalooza II, a full-year tournament spanning 4 cons. Are you munchkin enough?

The details: At each convention*, there will be 3 qualifying Munchkin games, one of each genre**. Points will be given to the top players from each game using a complex system involving Levels, Bonuses, Gold and player cuteness***. The top 6 players will play in a finale battle royale at Lollagazebo, competing for valuable prizes and the coveted title of Northeast Regional Munchkin Champion, which includes lifetime in-game benefits to the winner. Get in the games, get your points, and maybe everyone will learn that you are the biggest munchkin of them all.

Hack!: The Nerding is the east coast’s definitive (there’s a big word) Hack tournament. Try and find another, we dare you! Run in 3 death defying, blood curdling, mega carnage rounds we will explore what in means to become the Mega-Nerd. Rounds one (Saturday, 2pm) and two (Saturday, 8pm) will determine who will take the position of the 5 Knights and a final 3rd round (Sunday, 11am) will determine who rules the Dinner Table.

Players build the dungeon as they go, using cards from their hand. Since the dungeon is different each time they play, each game is unique!

The $100 Xactika Tournament

Xactika is an original card game, which challenges players' ability to estimate the outcome of playing 8 cards. You must predict the chances of being able to take the other players' cards that are laid down during each round. There is no drawing or discarding. You must predict exactly (hence the name Xactika) the number of rounds in which you will be able to take the cards played. 

Spread throughout 2 preliminary rounds (Friday, 8pm and Saturday, 6pm) and a climatic final (Sunday, 2pm), one lucky player will be mailed a $100.00 savings bond, courtesy of Set enterprises. Come by and play the game that has been the card game rage at the local cons and earn a chance to win a great prize.
