Duncan Toys staged its first WarStone Tournament at Samurai Comics in Phoenix, Arizona last weekend, a demonstration project for the launch of its organized play program next year.  The tournament drew 38 players who viewed a demo of the game and then competed in a ten-table environment. 

 

The tabletop “battle arenas,” which use soft cloth walls to contain the marbles (see “Warstone OP Comes with Walls”) worked well, according to Duncan.  The game format was shortened to keep play moving quickly for the event, which ran from 2:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
