The anticipation keeps building as the fun of the Carnival of Games gets closer. Not only will there be games galore but we'll also be holding a Viewpoint Trivia Challenge and COG Art Competition. Both of these are free and open to anyone to enter. The Viewpoint State of Origin, on the other hand, will pit a select grouping of 6 players against each other in a 3-on-3 'best of three' series of Viewpoint games. VIEWPOINT TRIVIA CHALLENGE The Viewpoint Trivia Challenge will test your knowledge of the Viewpoint card game. The trivia challenge will be held at 12pm. Each entrant will need to answer 10 questions with a possibility to answer 3 tie-breaker questions, if necessary. The winner will receive a new Nintendo Gameboy Micro and Gameboy game. ART COMPETITION The Carnival of Games Art Competition is open to artists of all skill levels and illustrative mediums - paint, chalk, pencil, crayon, macaroni, etc. People can bring their art to the event or they may sketch something up at the event. All works of art will be placed on display as soon as they are received and a winner will be selected at 12:30pm. The judging panel will be a selection of the Carnival of Games stall operators who will assess each piece based on its uniqueness, creativity and relevance to gaming (e.g. a Picasso-esque box of dice). The artwork does NOT have to have relevance to the Carnival of Games, 93 Made Games or anything associated with them. The winner will receive an autographed graphic novel (Witch King: Autobiography of a Dark Lord signed by the illustrator Paul Abstruse) and the opportunity to provide an illustration for one of 93 Made Games' upcoming games. VIEWPOINT STATE OF ORIGIN The Viewpoint State of Origin tournament will once and for all settle which state is best at playing Viewpoint - New South Wales or Queensland. Three representatives will be selected from each state who will then form teams to play in a 'best of three' series of games. Official Viewpoint tournament rules will be used with the following exceptions/clarifications: RULES FOR THE TOURNAMENT
PRIZES: The victorious team will be awarded the Viewpoint State of Origin Shield for 2010.  Carnival of Games Viewpoint is a fun-packed and easy to learn card game for 2 or more players aged 7 and up.

The list of games on show at the Carnival of Games keeps growing and continues COG's theme that there will be something for everyone! There will be games for kids, teens and adults, card gamers, board gamers, Eurogamers, CCG enthusiasts, tournament gamers, casual players, girls and guys. Some of the games are listed here as well as details of the main tournaments and competitions that will be held throughout the day.
SETTLERS OF CATAN TOURNAMENT The Settlers of Catan was one of the first German-style board games to achieve popularity outside Europe. Over 15 million games in the Catan series have been sold and the game has been translated into thirty languages from the original German. The game has rapidly become popular in part because its mechanics are relatively simple, while its dynamics are quite complex. The players in the game represent settlers establishing colonies on the island of Catan. Players build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island. The game board representing the island is composed of hexagonal tiles of different land types which are laid out randomly at the beginning of each game. Now you can play in a tournament of this classic game. RULES FOR THE TOURNAMENT
MAGIC GRAND MELEE Dust off your decks and fight it out at the Magic: the Gathering Grand Melee Event to determine the best Wizard at the Carnival of Games. The Grand Melee is brought to you by the League of Extraordinary Gamers, a Brisbane based club who have been running Grand Melee events and leagues since Magic: the Gathering emerged in the early 1990's. RULES FOR THE TOURNAMENT
PRIZES: The winner of the Grand Melee will receive one Magic booster pack per player in the tournament. i.e. If there are 12 players then the winner receives 12 Magic booster packs. The set(s) will be determined on the day.  Carnival of Games Viewpoint is a fun-packed and easy to learn card game for 2 or more players aged 7 and up.
