DreamQuest Software hosts the 2006 Hearts World Cup

Boulder, CO (July 3, 2006) - DreamQuest Software, known for their casual card and board games, hosted the Annual Hearts World Cup. In this two month long event, Hearts players competed on national teams against rival countries for the World Cup Title. In several rounds of fierce competition, England beat the Australian/New Zealand team ten to eight in the best of nineteen games. This win gave The Three Lions (team name of England) a 100% winning streak in which eight games that were played were all won. Led by Team Captain Steve Wilkes, teammates Dave Barrett, Chris Lawrence, and backup player Jayne1 (who attended the games and subbed as needed throughout the tournaments) competed against rival competitors from Canada, USA, and other countries around the world.

"It was truly an epic match and a credit to all participants," Lawrence commented, "I felt the team play aspect was a very positive thing, we all got to know each other a little better."

Lawrence, known by his handle "Blue 10," expressed his intentions to hold another World Cup early next year to accomodate the players' schedules as much as possible, "Vacations caused a few player availability problems towards the end. I know the players are keen but work commitments may prevent this, I will only know closer to the time."

We would like to send a hearty thanks to the volunteers of the Annual Hearts World Cup for their hard work to make this ambitious event happen. Congratulations to the Three Lions of England on their win!
