Matthew Shore


PLAYER NICKNAME : ShoretwinB


Location : Boise, Idaho, USA

Bragging Rights :

Number of Years Competing : 2

Favorite Game : Twilight Imperium

Game that got me Hooked : Risk LoTR Ed.

Why I wanted to come to WSBG : Went the first year, 2022 and had an absolute blast. Met some great people and made new friends we still game with today.

Biggest Board Game Nemesis : Chris Mackrill

Biggest Game tip : End up with more points then your opponents at the table and don't trust anyone!

For those on the fence I would say : If you don't think you are good enough a player to compete, that is totally untrue. Everyone is very nice and helpful and in my first year at the event I didn't meet a single jerk try hard that made the game unfun. Felt like game night at a friend's place.
