The first annual Montana Game Faire will be held on October 7, 2006. This event is designed to bring table-top gamers from the scattered communities of Montana together for a day of fun gaming and competition. This will be the place to meet new gamers and to play new games.
Come try your hand at some of the new board games, card games, role-playing games and whatever else you might find waiting beyond the doors of Montana Game Faire 2006.
Door will open 8:00 AM on Saturday, October 7th, with the main events starting at 12:00 AM. Scheduled events will continue until 8:30 PM, with open gaming continuing until 11:00 PM for those people that don't need to drive home that night. The Faire has an $15 entry fee, $10 dollars for those who want to pre-register.
You can register for the event at www.blackshieldgaming.com, as well as reserve your place in any of the currently scheduled events. Events include:

And all this in (mostly) one day. What more could a gamer ask for? That's right - prizes!
All events will have prizes - even if it is just a board game. And we will be running the following day long competitions:

Cyberstation Arcade in Southgate Mall is having a SC3 tournament on the 30th of July at 2 PM. Registration is $8, or $10 on game day. I'm guessing they'll have the usual swag (posters and shirts) so bring a friend (or an enemy) and have some fun.
