Saturday PM, July 6th - Zombicide: SURVIVE!?
 7:00 PM start
6 Players Max
Co-op Survival with a Twist
Entry fee: $5.00

Background: The survivors have relieved the local bank of excess money it was not using but now find themselves in a bad situation and unfortunately it is not the police.

Rules: Players must survive the zombie horde to get out of town alive. Survivors will play a co-op game but with a twist. The group has a bag of cash to split equally but if someone were to die then shares of the cash get better for the survivors. Players may not directly target another survivor with a weapon to kill that player off, but they can choose not to help them out when the player gets themselves stuck in a crowd of zombies. You just have to weigh the advantages. Choose wisely when to back stab as it could mean more cash for the split or a body that you sorely needed to survive.

Survivors will need to check each objective point for supplies to get out of town. Collect GAs, 2 Water, and 2 Food, then get back to the car to drive out of town. Each player will start with one ranged weapon and one melee weapon. The players that are still alive at the end of the game will split a cash pot. Each participant will receive a colored picture of their player.

Registration

Registration for Coal & Claw Weekend 2013 is now live! We have gone with a new format, allowing Pre-Registration running from today until Monday, June 3rd. There are several benefits why you should pre-register.

1. Cool swag. Once again, we will be handing out goodies to those that pre-register. Various gauges, templates, and dice are on order!
2. Cost saving. Registering at the door will cost you $30.00 on Friday or Saturday, while $20 on Sunday. Yes, it is only $5.00 difference per day based on the form but the Full Weekend Pass is remaining at $40.00! If you want to attend all three days, you'll save 50% instead of paying at the door.*
3. Ensures your spot in an event. Last year we had up to 50 players for one event and this year we expect to grow even more!

Also, for those ambitious and would like to volunteer their time to assist the tournament organizers, stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for our announcement about the volunteer program that we are putting together to help assist Tournament Organizers during each event. We will probably be looking for 2 volunteers per event, except for the Master Bodger, which will require 1 volunteer, and the X-Wing tournament, which will require no volunteers. Only those that have pre-registered already will be eligible to sign up for the volunteer program.

Register Now!


*Exception for X-Wing Tournament only.
