ːvotesː RULES:

Sessions that count towards the tournament: ːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinː (8)

For each win, players receive additional points that depend on the strength of the opponents over whom they have won. Important: your tournament points will continue to increase with the increase in the tournament score of your past opponents, over whom you prevailed – even if you already have reached the limit of sessions for the tournament. What this means is that the tournament is never over for you as long as your previously conquered opponents continue to play, and win.

During this tournament, regular rating points will be frozen for all the players. Your tournament sessions will NOT affect your regular rating.

Players get tournament points for the first 8 sessions played in the tournament on each of the servers. Any subsequent sessions won't give any tournament points, and won't increase the number of defeated opponents who give additional points. Nonetheless, victories of all opponents who were defeated in the first 8 sessions will affect your final tournament rating.



Awarded: Top 10 players on each of the servers. In addition to the main prize fund, every player who finishes all 8 tournament sessions receives a special bonus player icon “Facepalm” (only if it has not been received before)!

ːhypnoheartː Special prizes: all winners from top 10 of each server, Amsterdam and Singapore, will receive the new the new track: Melody of the Mechanical Troika!

ːhypnoheartː Top 3 players on each of the servers, Amsterdam and Singapore, will receive by registered mail a set of 4 hard enamel pins "Gremlins, Inc.". The pins will be mailed to the winners as a registered letter to any country in the world, provided that we receive the mailing address within 72 hours after the announcement of the tournament's results.

Today's Deal: Save 75% on Gremlins, Inc.!*

Look for the deals each day on the front page of Steam. Or follow us on twitter or Facebook for instant notifications wherever you are!

*Offer ends Wednesday at 10AM Pacific Time

Today marks the third anniversary of Gremlins, Inc. on Steam. In that time, we released almost one hundred updates with new features and new content, and ran dozens of tournaments. It’s been a great adventure!

We’d like to thank the international community of players, who come from over 100 countries, for the continued feedback and suggestions. Your support is the reason why we keep improving this game month after month! What started as a niche board game became a club with its own weekly discussions and community tournaments, while the game’s official multilingual Discord server became our true family.

Over the last three years, more than 500,000 people played Gremlins, Inc. on Steam. While we’re incredibly happy with this achievement already, we plan to continue adding more content and more features to the game, so that one day the population of the Clockwork Town may hit one million users!

Thank you for all that happened – and we look forward to another great year ahead!



To celebrate the game's third anniversary, we prepared a few gifts:

ːmaliceː A special main menu background "The Mechanical Troika";
ːmaliceː A special music track "Melody of the Mechanical Troika".

Both of these items are be available for everyone for the next month, and also can be received as drops from the free chests.



ːmaliceː A new player icon "3" with a cool special effect (just click on it);

This icon is given away for free to every player who logs into the game at least once during the next week (March 11, 2019 – March 18, 2019). After that, it will only be available from "boxes of goods" (that are crafted from free drops).



ːmaliceː Today, a special medal is released to all the veterans of the game – it's called "Veteran" and is issued to every player who first logged into the game on March 11, 2016 or earlier.



Besides that, additional gifts await everyone who visits the game in the next few days – those who log into the game in the specific day listed below, receive one free item to keep.

March 11, 2019 – The new main menu background "The Mechanical Troika"
March 12, 2019 – The Miraculous Magnet of Dr. Brooms
March 13, 2019 – The Warping Seeker
March 14, 2019 – The Automatic Dice-roller
March 15, 2019 – A Supercup
March 16, 2019 – A Smart Plug
March 17, 2019 – An Uncommon Box of Goods
