General

  • On 15 Feb. 2006, Mind Candy manned a booth at the New York International Toy Fair to spread the word of Perplex City to North Americans
    • As part of the promotion, some Wave 3 cards were revealed
  • Later that evening, Earth players gathered at Stitch, a bar in midtown Manhattan, to participate in the first Earth-based PCAG competition
    • Throughout the event, players at the bar contacted those in IRC and on UF to keep them updated


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 Abiczu, 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
    • Some Wave 3 cards were revealed
    • Gabriel won with five, Stephen lost with two
