10X10 CHALLENGE
WHAT IS A 10X10?
- Normally, a 10X10 is a personal goal where a person tries to play 10 different games at least 10 times in a certain time period.
- Since we have a local community of 2,000 and counting, we decided to pool our plays together and do a GIANT 10X10, starting and ending at Gen Con.
- Rather than choosing specific games, we focus on Publishers and Mechanics. This means you can participate with games from your own collection!
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
- Because it’s fun! Do you need more reasons? Okay fine:
- It helps support the publishers and local stores that sponsor our group
- And perhaps most importantly:
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN FREE GAMES!!!
