Transport

Cars: The Triangle Car Park is at the end of Clifton Road. In addition, there are 30-minute parking bays just up the road near Newtown Stores convenience shop, as well as 2-hour bays in each of the side roads off of Clifton Road (Clifton Street, Chute Street, Sandford Walk, etc). If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging points in Belmont Road (along the front of Belmont Park), on the left from the end of Clifton Road.

Bus: The nearest bus stop is Lower Summerlands at the junction of Clifton Road and Heavitree Road. The new Exeter Bus Station is only a few yards further away, by St. Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre and the VUE Cinema (walk down past the VUE cinema, across Western Way, between the Leonardo Hotel – formerly Jury’s Inn – and Belmont Chapel to the Triangle Car Park and then turn left past The Clifton Inn).

FOOD & DRINK

Clifton Road Games do not provide or sell food and/or drinks on the premises, but customers are welcome to bring their own.

We generally advise that gamers take specific breaks for food and drinks, rather than snacking throughout. It’s safer for the games components.

Newtown Stores is just up the road (on your left as you exit the shop), The Clifton Inn, and (across the Triangle Car Park) Dee Yi and Exe Coffee Roasters are a short distance to the right of the shop. Waitrose is at the top of the hill, directly opposite the shop entrance.

STORE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024

Saturday, 16th March 2024 (11am)

Updated: 11th March 2024

  • Saturday, 16th March 2024
  • Winds of Exchange – Sealed … from 11am
  • Winds of Exchange – Archon … from 4pm
  • Find this event on Facebook

For more information on KeyForge at Clifton Road Games, Exeter:
https://cliftonroad.games/keyforge/

The full in-store event calendar is on the ‘About‘ page of this blog.
https://cliftonroad.games/about/

KEYFORGE is the innovative card game where every deck you purchase is a completely unique combination of cards! No other player will ever wield the same KeyForge deck.

Wielding a unique 36-card deck, assuming the role of a powerful Archon, players seeks to maneuver creatures and artifacts from three allied houses to accumulate enough Æmber to forge the vital Vault Keys. The player to first forge three keys wins!

https://keyforging.com/

Store Championship

The kits arrived on Monday, 11th March 2024, so we now have more information and can flesh things out a little:

  • As expected, the guidelines allow for different pairing/cut structures (than 2LO) more suited to the likely smaller turn out for these in-store events.
  • Each Store Championship Kit contains: 3 sets of 3 metal ‘Vault Key’ tokens, and 6 Store Championship decks, plus some ‘Haunted / Not Haunted’ indicator cards.
  • I, personally, don’t think it is sensible to describe the Store Championship Kit as an 8-player kit. It would be better described as either a 3 event kit or a 6-player kit.
  • Their intention is clearly for us to run one tournament for each of the Archon, Alliance, and Sealed formats.
  • All rounds are 45 minutes, one game. Finals are Best of 3.
    Note: the current Ghost Galaxy end of game tie-break structure is very different from the original FFG KeyForge tie-breaking system.

Event Structure

SEALED – Winds of Exchange
Saturday, 16th March 2024 (11:00am Start)

  • 11:00 – 11:30 … Decks
  • 11:45 – 12:30 … Round 1 – Swiss
  • 12:45 – 13:30 … Round 2 – Swiss
  • 13:45 – 14:30 … Round 3 – Swiss
  • 14:45 – 15:30 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
  • 15:45 – 16:30 … FINAL

ARCHON – Winds of Exchange
Saturday, 16th March 2024 (4:00pm Start)

  • 16:00 – 16:45 … Round 1 – Swiss
  • 17:00 – 17:45 … Round 2 – Swiss
  • 18:00 – 18:45 … Round 3 – Swiss
  • 19:00 – 19:45 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
  • 20:00 – 21:00 … FINAL

Tournament structure and tie-breaks will be confirmed at the start of each event, as everything is very much based on the number of players present.

Assumptions:

  1. The total player count will be no more than 12 players.
  2. The event will play at least a little quicker than the timetable above indicates.
  3. The Final will (almost certainly) be best-of-3, and probably longer than 45 minutes.
  4. There’s likley to be some overlap between the Sealed (Finals) and the Archon (1st Round) tournaments. Depending on how things play out, we may simply award a 1st round bye to the finalists of Sealed event, in order to keep everything moving and everyone playing.

We’re trying to squeeze as much as possible into one day, whilst limiting downtime for players as much as possible. In an ideal world these events would be much more spread out and attract far more players. As it is, I’ll be very happy to get into double-digits and suspect that smallish numbers will help to keep the event moving.

Costs

£30 for SEALED, includes 1x Prerelease ‘Winds of Exchange’ Kit (containing 3 Archon decks), and also covers entry into the later Archon (16th March, 4pm), Alliance (14th April, 11am), and ??? (14th April, 4pm) Store Championship series events.

£15 to play in the Clifton Road Games KeyForge Store Championship Series 2024 (if you are not playing in the intial Sealed event).

The first 12 players to sign-up (and play) will receive one of the KeyForge ‘Store Championship 2024’ decks. The metal Vault Keys will be prizes for 1st place in each of the events.

Additional Plans

ALLIANCE – Winds of Exchange / Grim Reminders (to be determined)
Sunday, 14th April 2024 (11:00am Start)

  • 11:00 – 11:30 … Decks
  • 11:45 – 12:30 … Round 1 – Swiss
  • 12:45 – 13:30 … Round 2 – Swiss
  • 13:45 – 14:30 … Round 3 – Swiss
  • 14:45 – 15:30 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
  • 15:45 – 16:30 … FINAL

ARCHON – Grim Reminders (or possibly a REVERSAL format event)
Saturday, 14th April 2024 (4:00pm Start)

  • 16:00 – 16:45 … Round 1 – Swiss
  • 17:00 – 17:45 … Round 2 – Swiss
  • 18:00 – 18:45 … Round 3 – Swiss
  • 19:00 – 19:45 … Semi-Final (Top-4)
  • 20:00 – 21:00 … FINAL

NOTE: No hard and fast plans for the 14th April at the moment and it will depend very much on impressions/feedback from the Saturday, 16th March, event.

QUEEN GAMES

Saturday, 9th December 2023 (10:00 – 18:00)

| December’23 Events | Events Index |

ALHAMBRA – Revised Edition

The best master builders from Europe and Arabia want to demonstrate their skills. However, whether they are stonemaisons from the north or horticulturalists from the south, they all want a proper wage and insist in being paid in their native currency.

Employ the best teams of builders and ensure you have enough of the right currency, and with their help, you can construct towers, lay out gardens, erect pavilions and arcades, and build seraglios and ornate chambers.

Compete against your opponents to build the ALHAMBRA.

2-6 Players  |  40-60 min  |  Ages 14+

COPENHAGEN

„Nyhavn“ (New Harbor) is famous for its houses with colorful gables built along the waterside. The players face the challenge of constructing new facades in a way that fits perfectly in with this picturesque harbor scenery.

The goal of the game is to be the first player to score 12 or more points, or to have the most points when the End of Game card is revealed.

Players will collect cards of different colors from the display, which they can use to purchase facade tiles of the same color in different shapes and sizes. Players will use these tiles to construct the facade of their house little by little.

2-4 Players  |  20-40 min  |  Ages 8+

DRAGON QUEST

In “Dragon Quest”, you start your journey as a brave hero, fighting your way through a dangerous castle full of traps, monsters, and treasures. Every step you take could be your last, as ghouls, trolls, orcs, and even poisonous spiders lurk around you. But don’t worry, you’re not alone. With every battle won and every trap overcome, you collect valuable gold coins and powerful artifacts to help you master the challenges.

The treasure chamber is the ultimate goal. Here you can collect incredible riches, but be careful, the dragon might wake up! And if you manage to reach the exit before sunset, you have overcome the dangers of the castle and can sum up the value of all treasures, items, and gold coins.

But beware, time is your greatest enemy. If the sun sets before you reach the exit, the darkness will devour you. And if you lose all your life points, through fighting monsters or stepping into traps, then your hero is dead.

“Dragon Quest” is a game that tests both your strategic skills and your courage. It’s a game full of risks and rewards that constantly challenges you and never gets boring.

Become the hero who overcomes the castle, defeats the dragon, and walks away with the greatest treasures.

1-4 Players  |  45+ min  |  Ages 12+

FRESCO – Revised Edition

As fresco painters you are restoring the large ceiling of the cathedral on behalf of the bishop. Good planning is always necessary. Colours must be bought, the fresco restored and new colours mixed. Only those who plan wisely can score the most victory points and become the most successful fresco painter.

Besides the basic game, the game contains two expansion modules. “The special colour mixtures” and “The favour of the bishop”. You can combine these with the basic game according to your wishes. They offer new challenges and extend the game duration.

2-4 Players  |  60 min  |  Ages 10+

FUTURE ENERGY

Imagine you’re the head of an energy corporation in the heart of Europe. Your mission? To shape the energy supply of the future! Welcome to “Future Energy,” the board game that takes you into the fascinating world of renewable energies.

In “Future Energy,” it’s not just about building power plants. You have to plan ahead to earn the most money and the most valuable CO2 certificates. These resources are your key to new, innovative construction contracts that will elevate your energy empire to the next level.

But what’s a power plant without an efficient electrical grid? Invest in your own power lines and earn transit fees when other players use your network. The larger and more efficient your grid, the more advantages you’ll enjoy. And don’t forget: Moving on your own power lines is free. Use that to your advantage!

Your goal is to be present in as many European regions as possible. Cleverly connect your power plants through your grid and secure additional CO2 certificates at the end of the game. Whoever has the most victory points at the end will be crowned the undisputed Energy King of Europe!

2-4 Players  |  60+ min  |  Ages 8+

LUXOR

Hunting for precious treasures, groups of adventurers search the legendary temple at Luxor.

The adventurers race to reach the tomb chamber of the Pharaoh. However, the temple’s passageways contain many treasures for them to collect. The players move their adventurers from tile to tile by playing cards from their hands. The closer each adventurer gets to the tomb chamber, and the more treasures they collect, the more victory points they will earn. The game ends at the end of any round if there are 2 adventurers in the tomb chamber. The player that has collected the most victory points (VPs) is the winner!

2-4 Players  |  45 min  |  Ages 8+

OLD LONDON BRIDGE

To help with the planned reconstruction you assume the role of an architect. The new foundation will be made from stone, meaning that it can support buildings on the bridge itself. You must compete to have the most pristine section of the new bridge.

By constructing chapels, bridge gates, hostelries, guild houses, haberdashers, and parks in the proper order, and by utilizing the special actions to your advantage, you will become the wealthiest builder at the end of the game and be declared the winner.

2-4 Players  |  45+ min  |  Ages 10+

POWERLINE

You have been tasked with building an efficient power network by connecting power stations to supply cities with sustainable energy (and earn victory points). The dice will play a crucial role, since they specify the order in which you have to construct the diff erent powerlines. But which city do you want to supply first, and which power stations will be the easiest to connect?

Each round offers interesting choices and requires you to search for the best combinations in order to score. The player with the most VP after the final scoring is the winner of Powerline!

The game includes several variants, allowing you to tailor the experience to fi t your desired level of challenge.

1-6 Players  |  45+ min  |  Ages 8+

RUNE STONES

Players will take on the role of druids who must prove their skills handling the powerful rune stones. Summon creatures by magic and benefit from their abilities, all in a search to gain precious gems. These gems must go to the talented dwarfs, who know how to use them to make artifacts.

As their collection of artifacts grows, the druid’s rune stones become more powerful. Each stone gives the druid a permanent ability (as well as power points). The abilities will aid in acquiring gems and artifacts, and the power points increase the player’s chance of claiming the coveted throne.

The druid with the most power points at the end of the game ascends the throne and is the winner of the game.

2-4 Players  |  60 min  |  Ages 12+

WINTER KINGDOM

You will expand your kingdom by constructing houses and forts on various types of terrain. Work wisely to gather a variety of different abilities and gain victory points. Use the coins to acquire skills that give you special advantages.

The variable game board, the different skills and the constantly changing combinations of winning conditions create an outstanding variety. With the use of a twist card you can even change the basic rules.
