2026 Dawn til Dusk

Jul 26, 2026

The EBGL's 11th Annual Dawn till Dusk 15-hour "marathon" gaming tournament was held on Saturday, July 25th at Mission: Fun & Games in St. Albert. This year boasted a slightly new twist on the event, having themed gaming blocks and points awarded based on game duration.

Congrats to the following players on their wins at the event:

First Place: Michael M
Second Place: Chris F
Third Place: Rob D

As usual, first, second, and third place winners all walked away with some nice gift cards to Mission: Fun & Games while all players who attended the entire event received the new 2026 Dawn till Dusk achievement, using the new event art. Huge thanks to Mission: Fun & Games for the venue and thanks to those who helped organize or who brought and hosted themed games throughout the day - there were plenty of first time plays for the attendees this year.

Finally, special thanks to Michael F for teaching and leading our 15 player game of Blood on the Clocktower!
