What to do about "tournament" gameplay

I have the chance to PONDER more deeply about the format of "Monster Keep" (MK). Specifically the FORMAT of the current game. Currently I am planning to offer TWO (2) retail box formats:

1. A two (2) player duel box which has enough cards for two (2) players. It's a "core" product featuring all that is necessary for duels.

2. A four (4) player versus box which contains cards for four (4) players. It's also a "core" product but has added card count for versus play.

While this is COOL to help "promote" the "GAME VIBE" (ie. it's a GAME versus a random set of cards). You can choose how many players you want to buy the game for. Since the game supports either 2 or 4 players, it's natural from a game perspective to offer these formats. BUT...

Here's the real deal. If I wanted to hold a TOURNAMENT for say 1,000 players. Something officially promoted...

Question: How do I SELL the game (during the tournament)?

See in tournaments, each player needs their OWN cards AND their OWN pouch and their OWN parts. And usually when you attend a "tournament", you either bring your own cards (BAD) or buy ones for the event (AMAZING).

It makes 100% sense to BUY-IN and get a deck. That's okay.

The REAL problem is the POUCH and PARTS.

Fundamentally EACH PLAYER having his OWN Deck is 100% acceptable. But this leads to having his/her own POUCH and PARTS. If you want to have people PLAYING in a SOLO "tournament" with a PRIZE (TBD), you need to have a FORMAT which can be used to SELL "kits" (so-to-speak).

So let's say we thought about this SOME MORE and came up with:

+ 12 "core" cards to a player's Micro Deck
+ 1 Nexus card (required by each game)
+ 1 Material pouch
+ 24 Wooden cubes
+ 3 custom dice (d6s)

This is PER Player. Obviously this all LOOKS great and logical... BUT!

The problem is back to our 2 and 4 Player Boxes. Doing 2x and 4x a "kit" is expensive. It increases the cost of the Boxes because of the multiple Material pouches and the EXTRA Wooden cubes.

Okay so for a 2 Player duel, it's ONLY 1 extra Material pouch and 24 additional Wooden cubes.

For the 2 Player duel Box this is NOT a problem as there were supposed to be 48 Wooden cubes. The ONLY extra is another Material pouch ($0.80). It's not too bad... a slight increase in costs.

However for the 4 Player versus Box ... This is 96 Wooden cubes and 4 Material pouches. OUCH! That's a lot of EXTRA. And to me, it seems like this puts a PRICE on the "premium" 4 player game. How much??? I'm not certain just YET. But it is clear that it's about "$2.40 + $4.32" = $6.72... That's the COST increase! Fnck that's A LOT.

Anyone have a suggestion or another way of looking at things???

I'm feeling the BIG HEAT with a $6+ cost increase... That's HUGE when you think about production costs.

Maybe I should forget the 4 Player versus Game ... And focus ONLY on the 2 Player Box and SOLO packages during tournaments.

I know it shouldn't be the focus of the game (some very vague tournament that could or does not occur)... But it all becomes the point of PLANNING and seeing what the future may hold. No preparation means NO POSSIBILITY. There could potentially be a "tournament" ... Who knows (ATM).

Thoughts, ideas, feedback???
