War of the Ring will be back to the World Series of Board Gaming (WSBG), an annual event held in Las Vegas that supports casual and competitive board gaming. The WSBG 2025 Event will be held from September 19th to 23rd, and unlike 2024, War of the Ring competition is scheduled as a WSBG Phoenix Tournament, based on player feedback. No pre-event registration is necessary, and any attendee (main event player or open gamer), may purchase a ticket in the WSBG Store to play War of the Ring if they wish.

The WSBG schedule includes War of the Ring Phoenix Tournaments on from Friday to Monday, afternoon and evening. The 4-player pods will consist of two games, each with a three-hour time limit. Afternoon pods will run 2pm-8pm and evening pods will run 5pm-11pm. This schedule allows maximum flexibility and the opportunity to play at least 8 games of WotR at the WSBG. WotR Phoenix tickets will be sold at $10, $25, and $50 in each time slot. Cash payouts will be paid to each pod winner when they are recognized at the following WSBG Awards Presentation.

WotR players will earn points in each Phoenix pod they enter based on their match record: 7 points for a 2-0 finish, 3 points for 1-1, and 0 points for 0-2. On Tuesday, September 23rd, the two top point earners will face off in match play to determine the 2025 World Series of Board Gaming War of the Ring Champion.
