The much awaited Worlds Apart Games Board Game League has begun. Participation is free, and players have the chance to win a portion of $100 in prizes to the store!

The League is will run through Sunday, August 16th when we shall wrap up with a final tournament!

You may join at any time, but the sooner you start, the sooner you can start earning league points.

Don't worry if you are not very experienced with board games. You get points for every game you play, so you can make up for a lack of practice with enthusiasm and tenacity.
