Every week during December, we will choose randomly one person among all fans of Alkemy Page on Facebook : 
The winner will earn 100 Doubloons!
Check on December the 6th for the first winner!

There is even more!
A couple of weeks ago, the Community Website called “www.tabletoptournaments.net” opened a whole new section dedicated to organized play in the USA. If you are an American player, you are now able to announce and set your tournaments for any game you are playing.
For 5 years now T3 (Table Top Tournament) has been allowing gamers to announce their tournaments, upload results and also keep track of them in a national and international ranking per game.
But T3 is also the Official Tool used by Kraken Editions for the international ranking for Alkemy. It means that as soon as your tournament is announced on it and the results are uploaded, it will automatically be added to the ranking.

You can have a look at the current international ranking here.

Once your tournament is official, it means that your players will earn Doubloons by participating in it and depending on their final result. They will now be able to get goodies from the Galleon Store.

To celebrate to new US T3, Kraken will double the Doubloons earned during Official Alkemy Tournaments until February 28th!! Therefore each player will get at least 20 Doubloons instead of 10 just by participating in an official tournament!

You need more information about official tournaments, Galleon or Doubloons? Just send us a mail.
