Zulu's favorite Board Games - Organized Play events

Next up: a one-day Ark Nova tournament on Jan 10th, followed two days later by a six week ARCS league at the main store, starting Jan 12th.

Zulu's loves board games so much, we put them in our name! We play them on our days off, with our families and roomies and at our employee morale events. Now, we're stepping it up, hosting events and leagues for the local players. Each month we'll feature a game and help run a series of games to determine a day's or a season's winner.

For some games it'll only take a single game. For others we'll do League play, or it'll be a multiday series of swiss matchups with a playoff and a glorious finals match. Much depends on the community interest and the type of game. 

• To kick the series off we hosted a Catan local qualifier, the first in the Western region of the 2025-2026 season in the US. 23 players registered and the winner was Jeremy. Just in case you missed out, we're working on arranging a last-chance-qualifier early in 2026. Stay tuned for news on that.
• On 11 October, Angela handled all opposition easily to win our DUNE Uprising tournament!
• On 22 November, Daniel landed at the top spot in Wingspan.
• At the end of the Dominion league, it was Stephen who won by a hair!

League and event rules will be added here, on Discord and on our Blog when appropriate.
All skill levels are welcome, especially in the leagues, whose purpose is to help players get more games in as well as to determine who the best players are. If you've never played in a league, they consist of ~6 games played with a different player (or players) each week over 6 weeks. 

We also host Board Game meetups on Mondays & Tuesdays in Bothell & Wednesdays in Lynnwood.
