2026 Devil's Egg Tournament
Devil's Egg Tournament Rules
This year, we will be transitioning to web-based reporting but will use the stamp system as backup. This means all of your games must be added within our scheduling system and recorded as Completed Games to count.
As part of your Con Swag Bag, you will receive a Player Aid. Find the Devil’s Egg tracking sheet inside.
- You only score points for games that you win!
- We encourage everyone to keep track of all qualified wins as ya never know.
- The six games included in the 2026 tournament are: Antiquity, Bus, Food Chain Magnate (original or Ketchup), Horseless Carriage, Indonesia, and Roads & Boats.
- Up to three wins per title can be counted during preliminary rounds.
- After each game you win, record the tournament points earned (using the table below) and the day of your game on your tournament sheet.
- Points are rewarded to the winner of each game only: 1000 points per win plus additional points per player (see table below). Only the player counts listed for each game will score.
- At the end of each day, add your daily points total to the Tournament Scoreboard.
- Cutoff Time: Points online will freeze on Sunday @ 11PM. We will sum all of your points across the three days. If you dispute the scores listed on our website, bring your Player Aid to Dean for review before the end of Sunday night.
