During the event, there will be two bigger tournaments. Details of the tournaments can be seen below.
Each tournament will reward the TOP-4 players, as well as the winner of the vote for the most creative deck. Rules and prizes will be updated below.
If you have any questions about the formats, rules, card mechanics, practices or anything regarding tournaments, we encourage you to contact us in advance so we can avoid negative surprises and the tournaments can go as smoothly as possible.
In case of any troubles during the tournaments, we reserve the right to judge as we see to be the best solution in each situation. We can decide how some confusing mechanics are played, give you a match loss or even disqualify from the tournament if the think that is fair for the situation. But we hope no such situations comes up and everyone can enjoy the tournaments.
For this reason, we hope you read carefully both tournament specific rules and the Tournament Guidelines we've created. Please contact us if you are unsure about something.
The first three pages talk about how the games are played while the rest six pages are about the allowed cards. Tournament guidelines only apply to tournaments. Outside the tournaments, playing is more free.

Since our current group of participants consists only of adults, we require participants to be 18 years or older. The event itself does not contain content harmful to minors, but we are unable to look after minors or take responsibility for them. With this, we also offer other participants a more relaxed atmosphere.
The event, like other DMF events, is very casual and communal. It is organized by volunteers, and it does not seek profit for the association. Therefore, we expect the participants to be independent in basic matters, such as keeping the places clean. We have organized events in a spirit open to everyone, so we do not accept any kind of inappropriate behavior or harassment.
We treat the use of alcohol at all our events as follows:
"You can moderately drink mild sauna drinks at the event. We trust that everyone knows how to behave and stick to the agreed upon. This event is not for drinking."
The association cannot take responsibility for guests' belongings, so please look after your stuff.
By default, everyone brings their own food. There are shops and food places available at Hämeenlinna. Nearest shop is within 5 kilometers from the venue and more at the centrum of Hämeenlinna which is about 7 kilometers form the venue.
However, the association offers some basic breakfast and evening snacks, such as porridge, bread and fruit. When registering, you can state your special diets and wishes, which we will try to fulfill as best we can.
Regarding lunch and dinner, we suggest cooperating with other participants. For example, order food in larger groups, or when preparing food, try make it for a larger group. Everyone contributing equally to the costs.
There is a kitchen available at the venue.
The event takes place in Aulanko Grand Villa at: Aulangon-Heikkilän tie 168, 13900 Hämeenlinna Finland.
We will happily help you figuring out which tickets you should purchase in Finland in order to get to the venue. We are also planning to gather a group in Helsinki so we can travel together to the Venue.
Here is a quick guide for the simplest way to get to the venue, more details below:
- Arrive at Helsinki Airport
- Helsinki Airport --> P-train to Tikkurila Vantaa (3.2€, ~10 minutes)
- Tikkurila Vantaa --> R-train to Hämeenlinna (12€, ~1 hour 20 minutes)
(Combined ticket P-train > Tikkurila > R-train > Hämeenlinna is available for 12€ by VR)
- Hämeenlinna --> We will have someone with a car to take you to the venue (~10 minutes)
If you want to visit Helsinki centrum first, you can take a very similar route:
- Arrive at Helsinki Airport
- Helsinki Airport --> P-train to Helsinki main railway station (4.4€, ~35 minutes)
- Helsinki --> R-train to Hämeenlinna (12€, ~1 hour 35 minutes)
- Hämeenlinna --> We will have someone with a car to take you to the venue (~10 minutes)
Alternative route is to arrive at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport if that is more suitable place to fly:
- Arrive at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport
- Tampere-Pirkkala Airport --> Bus 103 to Tampere railway station (4.5€, ~20 minutes)
- Tampere --> R-train to Hämeenlinna (8€, ~50 minutes)
- Hämeenlinna --> We will have someone with a car to take you to the venue (~10 minutes)
Tickets to all of the mentioned trains and busses can be purchased at location, no need to reserve a seat. Prices are for one-way tickets.
Alternative to R-train is to use Intercity train which is slightly faster. Ticket to an Intercity train has to be purchased in advance and the price vary based on how soon you purchase the ticket. If purchased months before, the price can be low as 4.5€ from Helsinki and 3.5€ from Tampere. Late purchases can be up to 25€. With R-train the price is always the same.
More info about traveling with P-train and in Helsinki can be seen at the HSL website.
More info about traveling with R-train and other long distance trains can be seen at the VR website.
More info about traveling with busses in Tampere can be seen at the Nysse website.

Most will get their own bed, but some will have to sleep on a sofa or in a double bed. Beds are not reserved in advance, but those who register first will have priority for own bed, if they so wish.
By default, everyone has to bring their own bedding. The venue also offers bedding for additional 10€ fee. If you want the bedding provided by the venue, select it in the registration form and pay the additional 10€ fee with the participation fee.
