Stockholm Primes 2020! Tournament Report

Went to Stockholm, (the capital of Sweden, not the one in Wisconsin USA. I would be amazed if they had a Primes there.)

I guess nobody plays Armada here...

12 eager participants traveled from far and near to put plastic pieces on large tables and roll copious amounts of dice, having a good time. I'll try to cover a before, during and after the tournament in this post.

Nordics (Denmark) 2019: The Aftermath

The dust has settled, the ships are resting in their foamtrays, but the aftermath of Nordics 2019 still rings (somewhat) clear in the mind. Its time to go over it all again, but with 20/20 hindsight :).

Tuborg has nothing to do with this blog, but its still good beer

European Championship 2019 Kraków

Now that Euros in Kraków is over, its time I put my writing hat on and start to put some thoughts and recollections into writing, and too much time has past since. Sit back and indulge in some pictures [a huge crapload] as I go through what was the FFG European Championship of 2019 for Armada.

This place doesn't look that promising in this photo, but shes got it where it counts. To be more specific, inside

Also that we had a nuclear(?) power plant next to the Expo made it slightly more exciting :)

Tournament summary: Gothcon 2019

Every year a game convention is held in central parts of Gothenburg with participants from all over Sweden. It's been going for 43 years now, and it just gets bigger. All board games imaginable and unimaginable are played for 4 days. It's crazy fun.

Sadly the practical things aren't up to the events size. The queue for the food they serve is painstakingly slow and even if you prepaid and booked your tickets in advance prepare for a long line and waiting time, so being there in time is of utmost importance if your games are scheduled early.

But it is still a very good convention. Friendly people, fun games and fresh accommodations for a reasonable price. It's more family friendly than I remember but that might be because I now have a kid that I notice these things.

Enough blabbering and straight to the tournament report!

Had a hard time keeping my marbles together
