Again; this year we have an awful lot of slots going. By my calculations there are up to 48 hours of organised games to be played at the con. There may be more. So, we’ve come up with the “Gamer of Steel” prize for the gamer who lasts the longest. Whoever spends the most time playing games at Gaelcon, wins. Only scheduled games (this includes special events) count, so we can keep a track of things and post a leaderboard. In the event of a tie, the gamer who has played the most types of games (RPG, LARP, Wargame, CCG etc) wins.
