Alana Wise


PLAYER NICKNAME : Neutral Good Ranger
RANKING : 252


Location : Boulder City, Nevada, United States

Bragging Rights : Semi Finalist in The Red Cathedral North American Invitational 2023 and one of Vegas, Inc’s 40 Under 40 in 2021 (unfortunately the last one is not because of my board game prowess!)

Number of Years Competing : 2025 makes 3!

Favorite Game : Ark Nova… I mean, Dominant Species. Wait, um… Castles of Burgundy… what’s a favorite again?

Game that got me Hooked : 7 wonders was the first. The first game slapped down at a game night that I begged to go to. I had no idea what I was in for!

Why I wanted to come to WSBG : To play with the best, and now, I’m hooked!

Biggest Board Game Nemesis : We're all friends here, unless you leave me in the dust, and then I need a rematch!

Biggest Game tip : Have a plan, but be flexible. Most games have an element of randomness that can affect the best plans, and if you aren’t prepared to pivot, then your perfect strategy won’t get you across the finish line.

For those on the fence I would say : Come be a part of this epic competition while it is young. Learn techniques you never knew, and walk away with new friends to play on BGA with all year long, if not a ring... I said I wanted to come to play with the best, and it is true. We get to know each other, play games, give tips- the comradery, the competition, and the leveling up are unmatched.
