Event Description<\/h4>\n

Game Versions<\/h5>\n

There will be three preliminary heats, followed by the Semi-Final and Final.<\/p>\n

The Europe, Oceania, or Asia expansions may be used in the heats, if all players agree. Otherwise, the Base game must be used.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Semi-Final and the Final will use the Base version of the game.<\/p>\n

SETUP<\/h5>\n

The “Power 4 Birds” (Chihuahuan Raven, Common Raven, Franklin\u2019s Gull, and Killdeer) will not be used and must be removed from the common deck prior to the game starting.<\/p>\n
