The Conquiz Tournaments Quarter 3 - 2023 - will be the 2nd edition of the Conquiz Tournaments that has been ever made and will held beetwen 26 to 29 August 2023.

The Game

The "UNO" on the buddyboardgames.com platform was chosen as the game of this season. At the moment, it is not known exactly how many days and in how many stages the competition will take place.

Rules

Uno cards

The competition consists of two stages: two semi-final groups of six countries, a second chance for third and fourth places in each of the groups and a final in which 5 players will take part: two qualified players from each group directly to the final and one second chance winner. In each of the stages, the meeting ends when one of the players reaches 500 points, so an unlimited number of hands can be played. In case of equal points, an additional round will be held between the contested players. In case of equality of points in the final, the results of the group stage will be taken into account.

Points are awarded as follows: the winner of the distribution receives the sum of points from the remaining cards in the hands of opponents, which give: cards with a face value of 0-9 - 0-9 points, respectively, color restriction cards - 20 points, and joker cards - 50 points.

Participating Countries

Twelve countries have confirmed their participation in the second season - Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and Vietnam. Portugal withdrew due to lack of free time, also with Croatia, Greece, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands.
