Category: Event
I know its been awhile since you’ve heard from us, but we have been hush hush for a large reason.
At Gencon Indy later this year (August 4th thru the 7th to be exact), Bandai will be hosting not only the first ever competitive Resident Evil tournament, but also the first ever competitive tournament for any Deck Building Game Ever.
What does that mean to you? This means more promos, more of a reason to come and join in on the zombie fun, and more of a reason to brush up on your skills. More information will be provided when it is confirmed, but here is what is confirmed so far:
o The “Win-a-mat” tournaments will be used as qualifiers for the main event. The player who wins the Win-a-mat tournament gets an entry into the competitive tournament.
o The main event will be 3 rounds of swiss with a cut to top 8. Yes, you heard it, 3 rounds of swiss, with 4 players in each game.
o We are aiming to have each round done in under an hour.
We will have more information in the coming weeks, including how tiebreakers will work, end of time procedures, points, and more!

League Play for the Resident Evil [DBG] will begin in June. Stores that have been approved for the Alliance launch kit, will be getting the League Play kit automatically.
Each league kit is made to last 2 months. Each kit will contain 2 promotional items, 1 for each month, that should be given out to players at the stores discretion. The only explicit rule for these promotional items is that they CANNOT be sold by the store, so if you encounter a store that is selling them, please contact us (link at the bottom of every page) and let us know about it.
We encourage stores that are participating in the League Play program to post their upcoming events in our forums in the League Play section.
Finally the part that you are likely most excited to hear about, the June/July promotional items will be……bum bum bum…..Foil C-006 ADA WONG and Foil C-015 HUNK. We will begin shipping the kits next week.
If your store is not yet participating in our promotional program, please have them contact us at takenakaj(AT)bandai.com and request to be a part of our League Play program.
