Last May, the All aBOARD Expo 2025 was a blast for the board game community. From the moment the doors opened, it was jackpot joy: booths bustling, dice dancing, and players piling on the fun from gates open to last call. Some sharp-eyed attendees even spotted a sneaky secret to our next big play (yup, tucked in the tote bag was “OCT”: a cryptic clue no one could quite crack). Now, the waiting’s over and the wager’s on.
The stakes are higher, the lights are brighter, and the tables are open. Welcome to HIGH STAKES!
This October, step into our arena at Shangri-La Plaza Mall, where the board gaming community goes ALL IN.

High Stakes Tournaments
Time to level up your skills! These tournaments are the main event, the high-roller tables where legends are made. Winners walk away with bragging rights, glory, and a Wolfgang’s Steakhouse dinner for two (~₱15,000 value). That’s prime rib victory!
Summoner Wars Tournament
It’s like chess on adrenaline. Summoner Wars is a tactical card game where fantasy factions clash for dominance, summoning units and unleashing powerful spells on a shifting battlefield. Will you call in your reinforcements at the perfect time or bust out too early and fold under the pressure? Every card you play feels like sliding a chip across the table. Only one summoner will hold the high ground.

Dice Throne Tournament
Welcome to the craps table of heroes. Dice Throne mixes Yahtzee-style dice chucking with wild asymmetric powers. One roll might give you a winning hand, but the real magic is knowing when to push your luck. Do you reroll for the ultimate combo or play it safe? It’s Vegas odds, but here your jackpot is victory. Each hero is flashy, explosive, and ready for the spotlight, so who’s stepping into the ring?
🗓 October 4, Saturday | ⏰ 3:00 PM
Unmatched Tournament
The main event, the title fight under the marquee lights. Unmatched is the ultimate crossover clash: Bruce Lee, Sherlock Holmes, Medusa, Daredevil, and countless others, all duking it out in tactical skirmishes. It’s a game of wits, feints, and knockout blows, where one misplay could send you straight to the rail. Will you outsmart your opponent like a poker pro with a perfect bluff, or swing for the fences and go bust? Step into the octagon of legends.
