Free Tournaments This Week... (August 28th)

For those of you unfamiliar with SpiritWars, we'd like to invite you to join us one of the free tournaments. We have at least three tournaments a week, and they are a great way to get to know the folks in our friendly online community - and they offer one of the most challenging - and thoughtful - strategic challenges you'll find online. (It's a great chance to see more of the game than is normally seen in the free version - and get a peak at why our players have logged over 500,000 games over the years.)

The tournaments start at 6PM Pacific (left coast) time - and take place in the tournament room in the free version of SpiritWars. We have dozens of rule sets - so each tournament has a different flavor and playing style - and showcases a different combination of the 500+ playing pieces in the game.

This link provides a sampling of the various rules sets currently available:

Monday Night (Aug. 28) - Sorcerer's Showdown (always a popular rule set)

Spell casters have the spotlight in this wild tourney definition. No limits on dungeon size or definition, other than the normal minimum size requirement of 30 spirits. A huge population of 351 spirits include a dazzling array of spell casters and this format always results in some of the most varied playing strategies. Experience using the diverse range of magical spirits included in the member version give experienced players a slight advantage. Some key spirits include: Ballista, Priest of Mars, Vestal Priestess, Cupid's Arrow, Charax Sorceress, Drylands Shaman, Amazon Priestess, Elven Sorceress, Sylvan Druid, Atlantis Shaman, Siren, Saxon Armorer, Rampaging Colossus, Dark Apprentice, Crimson Wizard, Dark Adept, Acid Rain, Priest of Vulcan, Mechanics Guildhall, Earthquake, and Dismantle.

Thursday Night (Aug. 31) - The Dark Assassin,

This Darklands tournament gives everyone a chance to play with one of the rarest spirits in the game, the feared Armasi Assassin.

Key playing pieces include: Dark Apprentice, Armasi Assassin, Pale Riders (3), Werewolf, Dark Scholar, Armasi Archers (2), Crimson Wizard, Dark Adept, Dark Curse, Acid Rain, Grim Reaper, Bitter Moon (3), Nightmare, Sloth, Gluttony, Avarice, Hydra, Dark Brigade, Shadow Blades.
