General
- On 15 Feb. 2006, Mind Candy manned a booth at the American International Toy Fair to spread the word of Perplex City to North Americans
- Michael, Fi, Andrea and Paul were present
- As part of the promotion, some Wave 3 cards were revealed: 001: Dem Old Bones and 004: Zoo Zanyism
- Later that evening, Earth players gathered at Stitch, a bar in midtown Manhattan, to participate in the first of several Earth-based PCAG matches
- Throughout the event, Scott, bagsbee and rose contacted Lhall and those in IRC to keep them updated
- Participants received Wave 0.5 card packs, t-shirts, and copies of Perplex Magazine issue 0
- During the evening, players at the bar received phone calls with a mysterious recording:
|
"You keep on searching, but you don't know what you're looking for or what's looking for you. I can help. I have some inside information about the Third Power. Tell your people to stay sharp in London, and they'll come away with more than just a trophy." |
The Games
- Players first tackled 'Roundabout', Perplex City's version of Rock-Paper-Scissors -- using Cube-Pyramid-Sphere
- Three rounds of three games each
- Sphere beats Pyramid beats Cube beats Sphere
- Then the atheletes played the card game Set, found in the Firebox catalogue
- Be sure to check out the awesome online version of Set here
- Next, from the 8 people who had the most points from those two games, four were eliminated through two rounds of Qbiczu, a 3D tic-tac-toe game
- Finally, the four were reduced to two through Batik
- The remaining two competed for the championship through "Clash", in which a trivia question or puzzle was put on a videoscreen, and the two had to ring in faster than the other
