The Father Todd Buzzsaw! That’s the overarching theme of this year’s tournament. Father Todd Carter, a friend of the BoAR series since 2013, has been steadily improving his game and this was his year as you will read.
A total of 24 players competed in this year’s tournament including three players new to the BoAR series; Curtiss Fyock, Joe Chacon and Steve Packwood as well as William Riggs who had lapsed to the inactive list on the AREA rating not having played since 2014. We were happy to welcome them all to our group. This year’s format included a Swiss elimination of 5 heats with the top-8 players advancing to a single elimination quarter final.

Part I By: Mark Miklos
At the 2018 World Boardgame Championships (WBC) held in Seven Springs, PA in July, Mark Miklos’ Battles of the American Revolution (BoAR), published by GMT Games, celebrated its twentieth anniversary. The designer and publisher pulled out all the stops for this milestone event. Several players also volunteered to contribute prizes and memorabilia. Bruno Sinigaglio donated t-shirts, Chris Easter (even though he couldn’t attend) donated dice cups, and Tim Miller donated book marks. Mark Miklos donated couzies and collectible buttons, and all these items were emblazoned with a special anniversary logo created by Darlene Miklos exclusively for the occasion. Everyone that played in even a single heat was given ALL the aforementioned items.
