Utah Monthlies 2021

[BiggaBullfrog]

UTAH MONTHLY SEPTEMBER 2021

Location: Game Haven Sandy (9860 S. 700 E. Sandy, UT 84070)

When: September 25th, 1:00-5:00 PM (Please arrive 10 minutes early to register)

Cost: $5 (100% of entree fees go to prize support!!)

Format: Random Team Dungeon Defenders
That's right! We're combing two fan favorite formats this month! First off, each round you will be randomly paired with another player as your teammate for the round. Friends can become enemies, and vice-versa (so be extra sportsmanlike with your opponents, as they may very well be your partner in a later game)! Remember the rules regarding “friendly” vs. “you control” - Raelin won’t do anything for your partner, but Rhogar could (and be aware that glyphs are worded so that they only work for your army)!
With that, each team will be given a crystal to defend! (Stealing from @TREX 's original Dungeon Defenders idea.) Your opponents will place your crystal in your start zone at the start of each game before figures are placed. You win the game by destroying your opponents' crystal or by destroying your opponents' armies. Important Note: as a destructible object, crystals are not affected by powers that affect figures such as auras, insta-destroys, mindshackles, etc. See the Book of Fortress Door's Rulings and Clarifications section for more examples (replacing Fortress Door with Crystal).

Stats for the Crystal (slightly changed from TREX's original version) will be:
6 Life
4 Defense
Blinding Deflection - When an Eternia Crystal is attacked by a figure that is at least 5 spaces away, it rolls 2 additional defense dice.
Weakening Power Aura - When any figure adjacent to Eternia Crystal rolls defense dice, subtract 1 from that roll.

Raffle: Dun-Gone didn't Defend-Her
It's a little different this month: if your crystal gets destroyed the most (note: not if you destroy your opponent's crystal the most) you'll be entered into a raffle for a cool prize!
