The Labyrinth: The Blitz Extended + The Game Exchange

So you're hunting high and low for clues to the blitz...
It's been months since it was announced in store...
A whole DAY (two now) since a blog post was made about it...
And you still need to know more about every possible aspect of the tournament!
The phones have been ringing off the hook and our crack crew of Blitz experts cant keep up with the flow of questions coming in.



The blitz outline is as follows.

16 Games have been selected and are going to be in pools or rounds. During the first round players will be randomly assigned to one of 6games.Those 6 initial games are:

Condottiere
Dominion Intrigue
Quarriors
Race for the Galaxy
San Juan
Seven Wonders

These games are slated to run for an hour and based off player's results will determine who gets to pick what for the subsequent round. Round 2 is a 2hour slot and the first place finishers will all roll off to see who gets first pick.
In order they will assign themselves to a game one by one and once all of them has picked the process will be repeated with all the 2nd place finishers from round one.
In this way players will be more likely to get a chance to pick a game they are familiar with.

Round 2 will feature:

Endeavor
Tikal
Cities and Knights
Pillars of Earth
Small World Underground
Tempus

There will then be a one hour break for lunch before the 3rd round starts up.
The games featured in this round are 1 hour games and are:

Samurai
Through the Desert
Thurn+Taxis
Ticket to Ride Europe
Saint Petersburg
Kingdom Builder

The 4th and final round will contain the most challenging games all of which are slated for 2hours long. Once all the 4th round matches are done the total combined scores from each game will determine who the winner of the blitz is!

4th Round games are:

AgricolaCaylus
Power Grid
Puerto Rico
Princes of Florence
Factory Manager
