Immediately following the Swap Meet we will host a new Pezamania event called "Pezamania Wars". This will be a single elimination tournament with 128 contestents. Each tournament round involves playing a game of "War" - a simple card game played by most everyone growing up. Each War game will be played head to head against a single opponent. Each round of play will eliminate one half of the total contestents until an overall winner is determined. There will be some wonderful prizes awarded to the lucky players who reach the round of eight (quarter finals) and beyond.
