Cascadia with Landmarks Expansion

Friday March 14, 2025 15:30 - 17:00 PDT

Scheduled Tabletop - ST62

Let's play Cascadia and its Landmark Expansion! This tile-laying and token-drafting game can be played up to 6 people. It's a game about the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest or Cascadia! Game was designed by Randy Flynn, art by Beth Sobel, and published by Flatout Games.

In the base game, you take turns building your own Cascadia by creating habitats and populating it with wildlife. You start with a base tile and expand gradually putting the appropriate animal to the habitat. Points are earned through wildlife scoring cards and the largest number of habitat tiles placed together. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins!

The Cascadia: Landmarks expansion allow players to place landmarks within habitats which adds new end-game scoring benefits to the game. It also adds more unique wildlife scoring cards and habitat tiles to add more players to the base game.

Credits: description information was rewritten and taken from Board Game Geek and the publisher

If you are unaware of how the game works, please watch videos ahead of time about the game. I will still be teaching the game on-site to anyone new to the game, but it would be best to know what you're getting into to see if the game is for you!

Island Spirits join forces using elemental powers to defend their home from invaders.

This game plays exactly like Spirit Island so I am not sure why BGG lists it as less complex. The only difference is that it's capped at 3 players and the components are all cardboard. So if you wanted to play Spirit Island this is exactly the same game.

This is my favorite game and I'd like to teach it!

It's a worker placement / deckbuilding hybrid with medium complexity. The actions are simple enough: Play a card with an icon matching a location, then go to that location and take the action, gaining rewards in whatever order you choose. When you run out of workers or "agents" reveal the remaining cards in your hand to the table, and calculate the buying power on the cards to purchase new cards from a market.

Molly House FULL

This game just came out so let's get it played!

In Molly House, players take the roles of the gender-defying mollies of early eighteenth century London. Throw grand masquerades and cruise back alleys while evading moralistic constables who seek to destroy your community. Be careful, there may even be informers in your midst!

Over the course of an hour, players will draft hands of vice cards representing the different gestures, desires, and encounters that were frowned upon by the Society for the Reformation of Manners, a citizen group that sought to stamp out any behavior it deemed deviant in late 17th and early 18th century London. These cards allow players to host festivities with the help of their fellow mollies and create joy. But, those same cards can also lead players to be arrested and to the ultimate ruin of the molly house.

As players encounter the Society’s enforcers, they will often have to pay bribes or may be coerced into becoming informers for the Society. Informers must try desperately to undermine the community around Mother Clap’s Molly House without being discovered by their fellow mollies.

Scheduled Tabletop - ST13 & ST14

Ping... Crew a submarine in a real time battle of cat and mouse against another submarine sitting across the table from you... Ping... Take on the role of Captain, Radio Operator, First Mate or Engineer, hopefully working like a well oiled machine to sink your enemy... Ping... Pong...uh-oh! INCOMING!

Open to new players. Session will start with a full rules overview. This event is four tables of Captain Sonar playing side by side, not one huge chaos game...unless...no. No. Maybe next year... Games generally last 15-20 minutes. This event will allow players to play multiple games, trying multiple roles, or swap tables to challenge a whole different crew!

I'm a fan of night to medium board games, that clock in around the hour mark. However, my all time favourite is Inis, followed by Battlestar Galactica. I also enjoy roll'n'write, and abstract. Outside of Tabletop, I love drawing, writing, animation and relaxing with my kids.

Molly House FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 20:30 - 22:30 PDT

Scheduled Tabletop - ST27

In Molly House, players take the roles of the gender-defying mollies of early eighteenth century London. Throw grand masquerades and cruise back alleys while evading moralistic constables who seek to destroy your community. Be careful, there may even be informers in your midst!

Over the course of an hour, players will draft hands of vice cards representing the different gestures, desires, and encounters that were frowned upon by the Society for the Reformation of Manners, a citizen group that sought to stamp out any behavior it deemed deviant in late 17th and early 18th century London. These cards allow players to host festivities with the help of their fellow mollies and create joy. But, those same cards can also lead players to be arrested and to the ultimate ruin of the molly house.

As players encounter the Society’s enforcers, they will often have to pay bribes or may be coerced into becoming informers for the Society. Informers must try desperately to undermine the community around Mother Clap’s Molly House without being discovered by their fellow mollies.

Based on simple and intuitive hand management, Heat: Pedal to the Metal puts players in the driver's seat of intense car races, jockeying for position to cross the finish line first, while managing their car's speed if they don't want to overheat. Selecting the right upgrades for their car will help them hug the curves and keep their engine cool enough to maintain top speeds. Ultimately, their driving skills will be the key to victory!

Quacks of Quedlinburg FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 21:00 - 23:30 PDT

Scheduled Tabletop - ST33

In The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players are quack doctors making their own secret brew by adding ingredients one at a time. Each player has their own bag of ingredient chips. During each round, they simultaneously draw chips from their bags and add them to their pots. The higher the face value of the drawn chip, the further it is placed in the pot's swirling pattern, increasing how much the potion will be worth. Push your luck as far as you can, but if you add too many cherry bombs, your pot will explode!

This is a game that I only learned recently, but it's quickly become one of my favorites. Because it's fairly quick, I'm hoping we can get in more than one play.
