Thank you to everyone who helped provide enough copies of the game so we didn't have to ask anyone to buy it! Also, shout out to organizers who had to help haul all of those heavy Nesting Box versions of the game.

Sep 06, 2026

EBGLAPALOOZA 2026 was held on Saturday, September 5th this year with record attendance! This year we had over 24 games hosted over the eleven hour event.

Thanks to everyone who came out to teach and play games and congratulations to everyone who walked away with one of the random cash and door prizes - far too many to list this year! Also, thanks again to our sponsor: Mission: Fun & Games for their venue and prize support!

Celebrating 20 Years!

Aug 29, 2026

On August 28th, we celebrated 20 years of the Edmonton Board Gaming League with some custom made cakes and great company. Thanks to all of our organizers (Mike, Shawn R, Rob D, and Lance P), the organizer and staff of our primary sponsor (Mission: Fun & Games) for being so accommodating, and of course the 200+ players we've had the privilege to meet and game with over the last 20 years, across all four of our league's headquarters: Mike's Downtown Apartment, Mikes Sherwood Park House (Living Room and Basement), the first Mission: Fun & Games location (McKenney ave), and the current Mission: Fun & Games location (St. Albert Trail).

Of course, to help commemorate 20 years we hosted our first ever house cup tournament this season, which has had many of us dusting off and playing older games to score reputation.

On behalf of the organizers, we hope our members have had as much fun attending and playing as we've had organizing this amazing club. Here's hoping for another 20 more!

The Slay the Spire: The Board Game cooperative tournament ended on August 14th with first place going to a 12-way tie between Bou J, Chris F, Chris H, Chris S, Earl K, Lance P, Mark H, Michael F, Mike I, Patrick C, Rob D, and Zechariah S with 10 points (2W,0S,1P,2T,0L,0GW) over the three days. Second place went to a 3-way tie between Julie S, Randal P, and Rigel V with 8 points (1W,1S,1P,2T,0L,0GW)

While the game was long, it was also not our lowest cost game so a huge thanks to everyone who bought or supplied copies. We hope those who powered through all three nights of the focus had a great time in the end.
