Join us for a new way to play your favorite game!
Welcome to the Dogpatch Games competitive league!
Each Tuesday we host a tournament that will take you from playing for the first time to crowning a champion! Compete for glory, prizes, and an opportunity to compete in the Tournament of Champions this November!
This February revisit the first frontier, both in the American wild west, and a competitive board gaming classic, Great Western Trail. After a decade in print this game still stands out as a constant favorite for its unique mechanics and ways to score points. Keep moving forward making laps around the board, building outposts, hiring employees, and gathering cattle to drive to real life locations for perks and points. Use your cows to pay for worker placement spaces and create that perfect set to sell in Kansas city on the Great Western Trail!
Rules for competition: All games will be played to with the default rules for setup.
Prizes: The top player will win the money prize pool, a spot in the November Tournament of Champions, and a badge on the community Discord Server! All other placements compete for their spot on the leaderboards and points qualifying for the Tournament of Champions, so each placement and win matters!

How does Competitive League work?
Play against the rest of the league participants in that leagues game each week, earning points for your placement. Final weeks are worth progressively more points giving players the opportunity to grasp victory from the jaws of defeat! Some months feature longer/heavier games in a 3 week format, played once per week. Others feature 2 different shorter/lighter games, with each game being played back to back.
Each month’s winner will earn a permanent badge on our Dogpatch Games Discord as well as a guaranteed slot in our tournament of Champions. All other placements will earn points for the yearlong competition to qualify for the Tournament of Champions in November, and all players earn points tracked in the 2025 Competitive League Leaderboards, in-store and on this page below!
The Tournament of Champions will consist of the highest contenders of the year competing in a random game played throughout the year that they didn't claim the crown for so it's important to be a well-rounded player!
Monthly Pricing: $75 (Basic Member Pricing $40, $15 for Premier Members to qualify for Prizes)
