Western Canada’s Largest Tabletop Gaming Convention! Join us March 14-16, 2025, at the Vancouver Convention Centre - East (aka Canada Place) in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Game of Thrones: The Card Game is a two-player asymmetric card game, where you play as your favourite GOT house, drafting characters and revealing plots to win challenges, gain power and defeat your opponent, while trying to keep your characters alive for one more round.
We’ll be playing Joust, the two-player version, and Second Edition.
The game is played over a series of head-to-head rounds, where you’ll draft and recruit characters, reveal plot cards, and then attack and defend a series of challenges until one person is declared the victor. It’s a strategy-heavy game, where your resource economy is pretty low, so every choice you make can win or lose the game.
This session is open to all experience levels. If you’re a GOT master, amazing! If you’ve never played before, even better! The mechanics are pretty simple (it’s choosing what to do with your cards that’s the hard part), and if you’ve ever played an asymmetrical card game like Magic before, you’ll pick it up in no time.
GOT Card Game is also a LCG, so building your deck outside of gameplay is a big part of the fun once you’ve got the hang of it. So feel free to bring your own deck if you have one, or you can use one of our 8 pre-built house decks and give it a go.
Writer, gamer, cosplayer, nerd- who loves DnD, Thousand Year Old Vampire, and reading stupidly long rule books while organising board game pieces into little bags :)
Knizia is likely the most prolific board game designer in history, with over 700 games to his name. We will be meeting at noon, and splitting into 1-2 groups, to play a 3-4 Knizia games together. We will choose to play games out of his such as classics like Through the Desert, Taj Mahal, Ra, Tigris and Euphrates, Amun Re, or Medici, as well as some lesser-known gems such as Rheinlander, Stephenson's Rocket, and Orongo. Feel free to bring some your favourite Knizia games!
End the evening with a relaxed word-game cooldown!
If you were going to head back to your hotel to get in a daily Wordle before bed, come try this game! It's Wordle, but where the sneaky Lie-brarian will try to mislead players, who work co-operatively to provide guesses, by swapping correct/false/wrong place clues.
This game usually includes a timer, but I will not enforce this unless the group wants it. This game is also played over multiple rounds with each player getting chance to try out the Lie-brarian - I believe 1.5 hours will give us time to play multiple rounds even without strictly sticking to the timer times. Feel free to come and go as table-space allows :)
