ːsteampunkː RULES:

Sessions that count towards the tournament: ːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinː (8)

For each win, players receive additional points that depend on the strength of the opponents over whom they have won. Important: your tournament points will continue to increase with the increase in the tournament score of your past opponents, over whom you prevailed – even if you already have reached the limit of sessions for the tournament. What this means is that the tournament is never over for you as long as your previously conquered opponents continue to play, and win.

During this tournament, regular rating points will be frozen for all the players. Your tournament sessions will NOT affect your regular rating.

Players get tournament points for the first 8 sessions played in the tournament on each of the servers. Any subsequent sessions won't give any tournament points, and won't increase the number of defeated opponents who give additional points. Nonetheless, victories of all opponents who were defeated in the first 8 sessions will affect your final tournament rating.


Awarded: Top 10 players on each of the servers.

Place / Prize –

1. ːHoly_Grailetː 5, ːpumpkingː 7, Bomb-o-mat
   
2. ːHoly_Grailetː 4, ːpumpkingː 7

ːHoly_Grailetː = Tournament Chest (limited, tournaments only)
ːpumpkingː = Autumn Chest (limited, Autumn Season only)

In the case when at the end of the tournament two or more players will have equal number of tournament points, they will share the same (highest) place and get the same rewards. However, the award list will not be extended, and we will still award only the top 10 players on each server.

As some of you know, a couple of years back our game designer created a ːcardsː companion card game for Gremlins, Inc., and we even printed a few hundred decks of the prototype.

The card game's deck contains 129 cards that use the same art and the same card names, but the card game is built with different game mechanics. The principles are the same – build your own projects while disrupting the strategies of other players – but the overall game flow is less random, and more faster-paced. There are secret and revealed projects; there are 3 types of resources; and their are ways to bluff and attack, which makes for a very hot-blooded game flow.

We playtested the card game numerous times in various groups, from duels to 6-player setups, and it bears the same features as Gremlins, Inc. the video game: very often when playing until ːscoreː 20, for example, you will see players with scores of 18, 19, 16 and 18 at the end of the session, so that the tension remains until the very last turn.



Now, originally we thought that we can print a thousand decks, and sell them through Amazon. Or find a local publisher in Germany or, say, US, and release it this way. Alternatively, we could do a Kickstarter campaign, get a few thousand orders, and print and ship those.

But we're a small team, and all of that would take the time away from continuing to update Gremlins, Inc. and develop Spire of Sorcery. There is a thread on the forums where we offer to ship prototype decks to people directly, and it's been an uphill struggle to find the time to invoice via PayPal, then go to the post office and mail those packages, and we feel twice guilty about this: first, for taking the time off the video game projects; and second, for taking so long to respond to people in general.

At the same time, working with a physical copy of the card game also has its drawbacks: we cannot add languages as easily as to a digital product, since professional printing of a deck requires a run of several thousand decks; so we cannot experiment with, say, Japanese, or German, or even Russian. And so we were sort of stuck with a great card game that people love (the player feedback that we received on the card game has been overwhelmingly positive so far!) but no way to do something meaningful with it.




Yes, that's the solution that we finally found: to release the card game as a Print & Play DLC here on Steam. Some key points:

• expected to launch at the very end of November
  
• will cost the same as other Gremlins, Inc. DLCs
  
• comes as a set of ready-to-print PDFs
  
  
• cards are large format, but there are inexpensive protector sleeves available for this size
  
• the game will be at first available in English and in Russian languages
  
• more languages to be added depending on requests

Possibly, the card game will be updated like video game – we'll see!


This week, we started to prepare the DLC for the launch: a professional design agency is going over every card file to make sure it's printer-friendly, and we're also updating the rules and the manual of the game based on the player inquiries that we received so far.

As we move forward, we'd love to hear form you on these two points:

(1) which language would you prefer to play this card game in?

* English
* Russian
* Simplified Chinese
* French
* Japanese
* Korean
* German

(2) where would you be printing the files?

* at home
* at the office
* at a specialised print shop

We'll appreciate your comments and helpful advice, and we look forward to introducing the card game to the broader audience – now in a matter of weeks!


The Print & Play DLC has been released, and is available in 7 languages:

Yes, that's the solution that we finally found: to release the card game as a Print & Play DLC here on Steam. Some key points:

• expected to launch at the very end of November
  
• will cost the same as other Gremlins, Inc. DLCs
  
• comes as a set of ready-to-print PDFs
  
  
• cards are large format, but there are inexpensive protector sleeves available for this size
  
• the game will be at first available in English and in Russian languages
  
• more languages to be added depending on requests

Possibly, the card game will be updated like video game – we'll see!


This week, we started to prepare the DLC for the launch: a professional design agency is going over every card file to make sure it's printer-friendly, and we're also updating the rules and the manual of the game based on the player inquiries that we received so far.

As we move forward, we'd love to hear form you on these two points:

(1) which language would you prefer to play this card game in?

* English
* Russian
* Simplified Chinese
* French
* Japanese
* Korean
* German

(2) where would you be printing the files?

* at home
* at the office
* at a specialised print shop

We'll appreciate your comments and helpful advice, and we look forward to introducing the card game to the broader audience – now in a matter of weeks!


The Print & Play DLC has been released, and is available in 7 languages:
