Play and Win

Do you like playing tabletop games? Do you like free things? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should come check out our Play and Win program (PAW)! The rules are simple. Everyone who plays one of our PAW games is entered into a drawing for that game at the end of con. You only get one entry per game, but you can enter every game's drawing! Winners will be announced at 2:00pm on Sunday at PAW Library, and they have until 3:00pm to pick up their game(s). At 3:00pm we will begin drawing new winners for any unclaimed games, but these new winners must be present to receive the game. During the 3:00pm drawing you are still eligible to win games even if you won one during the 2:00pm drawing.

For more information, please see PAW staff.

Rules

Play and Win is available to all Kumoricon attendees and staff. To participate:

Check out the game from the Play and Win table.
Play at least one round of the game.

The initial winner will be announced at 2:00pm on Sunday and a written list of winners will be posted. Winners must arrive at the PAW table by 3:00pm to claim their game. To claim their game:

The winner must present their badge to PAW staff for verification.
The winner will then have their photo taken with their game. This photo will be used exclusively by Kumoricon for use in marketing the PAW program.

After 3:00pm, if the game is not claimed, PAW staff will select additional winners, one at a time. Winners must be present to claim their game and follow the same procedure listed above. At 4:00pm, drawings will stop and all unclaimed games will be added to the Kumoricon library.

Tournaments

InDiPro Games will be running an indie board game tournament at Kumoricon. It will consist of 6 smaller tournaments: 3 on Friday and 3 on Saturday. You don't need to participate in all of them to be eligible for prizes in the overall tournament.

Friday: Mean Robo, Snakes and Letters, and Slip Strike
Saturday: Vamp on the Batwalk, Pocket Paragons, and Primordial Secrets

All 6 games will be available for demo for play before or after the tournaments.

Tournament prizes:

1st place: 20 Kumori Cash and $15 gift credit to https://shop.indiprogames.com
2nd place: 15 Kumori Cash and $5 gift card to https://shop.indiprogames.com
3rd place: 10 Kumori Cash
4th through 8th place: 5 Kumori Cash

In addition to the listed prizes, we will also keep track of first, second, and third in each game and award 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively, in the overall tournament. Then, starting with whoever has the most points from those 6 tournaments and working down will get to choose from the following games after the scores are tallied after the last tournament on Sunday:

(Game list to be determined.)

If you are not around during the announcement of winners, we will text you if you can pick up your winnings or send someone to do so. You may make your choice; if not, we will send you a $5 gift credit for the InDiPro website and let the next highest score make a pick until all prizes have been given out.

All ties will be broken by who had the most first place wins, then second, then third. In the case of a continued tie, a die roll or coin toss will be made. If prizes are gone while people who are still tied are in the running, they will receive a $5 gift credit to the InDiPro website.
