Boost the Signal, Win a Prize!

It's back, our ever popular Invite/Share/Tweet Thread! You are our best marketers: with your help, we can sell out the event, thus impressing our sponsors so they keep donating games to the cause, that in tun, you’ll be able to take home!

For each of the below actions you take, you'll be entered to win a game (must be present to win).

Three ways to enter:

1) Invite 10 local (or PAX-attending) Gamer friends to this Facebook event. Invite 50 or more for an extra chance to win!

2) Share this event on your Facebook timeline. Event link to copy/paste is https://www.facebook.com/events/451765855620476/

3) Retweet this tweet: https://twitter.com/FTWEventsSea/status/1142782639113326598…

Once done, reply to the related pinned post on the Facebook Event Page with the actions you took.

Now, these have been our tried and true social routes the past couple of years, but if you're interested in signal boosting for us in other ways, just let us know! Ask us for some event flyers that you can hand out (at your next game night, at work, etc), post on reddit, on BoardGameGeek, so forth, the sky's the limit! Just let us know what you did and we can count them as more entries.

Thank you! You are awesome!

The Prize List: PAX 2019 Edition

The following is an ever-evolving list of the prizes we are giving away on August 30th! We'll be adding to this up until the event, so check back often to see what's new. We are literally receiving boxes from our sponsor donors every day! Be sure to check our sponsors page often, too, as sometimes, even though they've committed, we don't know what they're sending us (it's like Christmas when we get them)!

Also, we're more than excited to have a few new names joining us! We welcome them and can't wait to see what they send us. 

Don't have tickets yet? If you like games and helping kids to boot, you definitely don't want to miss this one!

Build Your Armies

From our friends at Temple Gates Games comes Shards of Infinity, a new card game for iOS, Android, and PC available now! We are still confirming details but they'll once again be in attendance at our Night of Gaming for Good.

If you can't wait until 8/30/2019, the game is available now but you can also sign up for the  TempleGatesGames.com/newsletter between now and 6/21/19 for your chance to win a copy of Shards of Infinity for your phone or PC! Three lucky winners will be selected to win this sequel app to Ascension. 

From the creators of the renowned Ascension deck-building game, Shards of Infinity combines an unprecedented level of strategy and customization into one speedy app. Win by either mastering the power of the Infinity Shard or by destroying all who oppose you.

One-hundred years ago, The Infinity Engine was shattered and its reality-bending shards have destroyed most of the world. Now, it falls upon you to gather your forces, defeat your adversaries, and rebuild the Infinity Engine! Will you survive?

Build your armies by recruiting allies and champions from four unique factions. Launch surprise attacks on your foes by instantly deploying mercenaries. Unlock limitless power by mastering the Shard of Infinity.

Shards of Infinity is the follow-up to the award winning deckbuilding game, Ascension.

Looking Back and Looking Forward! A midyear recap write-up.

Ahoy gamers! Happy first week of June. We’re almost to the middle of 2019 (already?!) and before you know it the summer sun will soon be rolling into town. When that happens, we know it’s time to start getting into the swing of prepping for our second event of the year: A Night of Gaming for Good on Top of the World, PAX 2019 edition, happening on August 30, 2019!

As we approach the midpoint of 2019 we thought we'd take a recap of the year so far. We're proud to continue on our mission of "gaming for good" with efforts like these.

Gaming for Good

Click on the image to see more pictures from the evening!

On March 14, 2019 we hosted our first event of the year: A Night of Gaming for Good on Top of the World, ECCC Edition, and it was a wonderful evening of gaming and giving. For a mix of personal reasons (including but not limited to moving, new jobs, family illness and travel) the FTW team made the difficult but necessary decision to scale down this event. Though the evening was more intimate than our previous shindigs, your generosity was as stalwart and steadfast as ever and we still raised an incredible amount for the Seattle Children’s Hospital. We will be having the check presentation ceremony at our FTW Events Game Night next week on June 17th, so you should come! Without you, there wouldn’t be this awesome comically huge check to present, so as always, thank you for making it possible.

Partners in Good

On May 19, we were excited to once again be a sponsor of Mox Boarding House’s Gauntlet, a six-week fundraising gaming marathon that ultimately pitted teams of gamers against one another in heated tabletop tournaments and other showstopping Cirque-themed festivities. We were honored to support their cause by donating four tickets to our upcoming Night of Gaming for Good on Top of the World in August.

This was all in the name of raising funds for their beneficiary, El Centro De La Raza, an organization aimed at creating a more unified community in some of Seattle’s most marginalized and underrepresented populations since 1972, helping countless lives with a range of services such as child-care, job training and cultural exchanges.

We share the belief with Mox’s Engage Committee that tabletop gaming has a unique and potent ability to bring people together and be used as a force for good.

 Looking forward

The year sped along and almost half of it is behind us but we still have our biggest even of the year to look forward to! Our focus will soon be on our Night of Gaming for Good on Top of the World, PAX West Edition on August 30, 2019. Stay tuned for more details, including when those tickets will go live (hint: very soon). Cheers!

Win the throne with your favorite princess!

In just a couple days we will be up on the 76th floor of the Columbia Tower for some dice-chucking, card-dealing, prize-winning, and fund-raising festivities! It's the last run to get tickets to the swankiest tabletop gaming at ECCC.

A Royal Appearance

Japanime Games will once again be joining us and bringing the deck-building princess game you loved last time: Heart of Crown! Fans of the game will also be excited to know that its new stand-alone expansion,Heart of Crown: Fairy Garden, will be available this April.

---

Lead Your Princess to the Throne

In Heart of Crown, the empire is in a time of uncertainty after the Emperor passed without naming his successor. The Emperor had no sons, only seven daughters. You must preserve the peace and unity or else the land is destined for war, and that means leading your favorite princess to the throne!

In this deck building card game, players nominate and support a Princess in a race to take the throne. Whether she can gain the support she needs from the nation and crush her rivals depends on you!

If you can't get enough of your favorite anime princesses, they'll be returning in a new stand-alone expansion!

Every year on the summer solstice the Fae arrive in the kingdom to take part in the festivities. While the citizens celebrate the warmth and light of the season, a dark cloud of uncertainty creates a heavy tension within the palace. With the struggle for the throne still raging on, how much influence will the Fairy people have over who takes the crown?

Heart of Crown: Fairy Garden is the first set of this new block for the Heart of Crown Series. It introduces 30 new card types into the market, beautiful new artwork, and impish new abilities from the fairy realm. You can play Fairy Garden by itself or with any of your other favorite Heart of Crown sets, including the Heart of Crown base game!

Play or Pre-Order Now

At our event, you'll be able to play and choose your favorite princess in the base game, maybe even win a copy in our raffle. But if you can't wait you can purchase Heart of Crown and pre-order Heart of Crown: Fairy Garden now! 

Otherwise, you can look forward to Heart of Crown's royal appearance at our Night of Gaming for Good on Top of the World, where we'll find out who has the best Princess!

One Week Countdown to Pi and Play

We've got less than a week until we play board games on the 76th floor of the Columbia Tower, all for a great cause! We're capping this event a bit and with it being on a Thursday night for the first time, it's shaping up to be a nice and intimate affair. We had SUCH a blast at our last event during PAX with a sold-out crowd and we'll aim for that again this fall., but this time since we’re scaling down, you'll be able to enjoy your games with a little hustle and bustle around you. 😊🎲

Do you have your tickets already?
