Hi everyone who are fans of Ashes, do note that due to unforeseen circumstances, the Ashes tournament scheduled to be held on 2nd Sept, will be postponed to a later date. The news is, Plaid Hat Games had ran out of tournament kits (probably while running tournaments at Gen Con).
We will post another date again once we get a confirmation from Plaid Hat Games on when the restocks will be. Have fun over the weekend and we hope to see you guys soon!
Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, is gaining traction in Singapore, with more customers enquiring about the game and its expansions every week. Team Board Game is proud to organize the 2nd ever Ashes Tournament in Singapore!
