Cascadia with Landmarks Expansion FULL

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

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!

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.

Each player will assume the role of one of six major animal classes—mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian, arachnid, or insect. Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won’t last: It is indeed "survival of the fittest".
Through wily action pawn placement, players will strive to become dominant on as many different terrain tiles as possible in order to claim powerful card effects. Players will also want to propagate their individual species in order to earn victory points for their particular animal. Players will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration, and adaptation actions, among others.

This game will ONLY run with 5 or 6 players.

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.

Friday March 14, 2025 15:30 - 19:30 PDT

A millennia ago, this world shattered and changed our way of life forever. What little of it remains is scattered, floating in the endless toxic gas of the Miasma. The city of Adriel, made from stitched together airships and boardwalks, provides refuge from the harshness of the world. But the mysterious Hearth crystals that support the city in the sky and protect people from the Miasma are in peril. Renowned merchant and according to rumor, aspiring baron, Kedrick Maddox has assembled a team to secure a replacement Hearth crystal for the city's poorest district. Amidst the pressures from greedy merchants, duplicitous gangsters, and scheming nobles, an elite, if eccentric, team of heroes must accomplish the impossible, or see thousands of the most vulnerable people in Adriel fall to their doom.

Play as one of the distinguished pre-made characters on a mission against all odds. The Skies of Axia is the first official adventure for the Emberwind system by Nomnivore Games. Emberwind is an accessible and tactical fantasy RPG game with modular rules that can adapt to the preferred style and experience level of the players.

In this adventure, we will follow a structured adventure including investigations, conversation, skill challenges, and tactical combat encounters, all while a ticking clock of impending calamity builds the tension. This game is perfect for new players as it lays out clear choices to progress the story, while leaving room for experienced players to explore and interact more freely. Safety tools will be in play.

The annual Valentine’s Party at the Triple Phi fraternity is legendary, but the bodies found on the lawn aren’t usually dead. This year, basketball star Louis “The Buck” Buckner was hurled from his window during the party. His room was locked from the inside, and his girlfriend, Candy, was in the bathroom at the time. Buckner was thrown with such force he cleared the porch roof on the way to the lawn. When found, his lifeless body was covered in a thin layer of frost, although it was an unusually warm winter’s night. There was no other frost nearby. Can the hunters find the killer before it strikes again?

Mothership 1e — The Haunting Of Ypsilon 14 FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 15:30 - 19:30 PDT

Do you like space? Do you like to be scared? Are you willing to risk life and limb in pursuit of… a corporate paycheck? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you’re in the right place. We’ll be playing the ‘Haunting Of Ypsilon 14’ module for Mothership, an excellent sci-fi horror RPG, and here’s the setup:

You’re a space hauler and you’ve got a simple job: go to the middle of nowhere -- Ypsilon 14, a mining base stuck on the side of a metal-rich asteroid -- and get some cargo. What cargo? It doesn’t matter. Some ore, some drills, some heavy machinery maybe. What matters? The deadline, the paycheck, and your livelihood that’s on the line.

When you discover the work stopped and a miner missing (and not a clue where he went), it puts more than your dollar at stake. Can you get the job done in time? Can you figure out what happened here? And, when it comes down to it, can you all make it off this rock alive?

Friday March 14, 2025 15:30 - 19:30 PDT

Some bonds can't be broken. Forged in mud, under enemy fire, the heart pounding, home just a memory, sharing misery and the frenzy of combat - bonds forged by spilt blood, and stronger than blood. You were a unit of soldiers in Afghanistan then a unit of mercenaries in Central America. You fought men, and the dark creatures that control them. After a decade, with money in the bank, the unit disbanded - each of you trying to go home. Maybe once you've seen behind the curtain, you can never go home. It's only been a few weeks when the Lt sends you a message, simply "Help". On greyhounds and amtrak, you're rolling into town to do whatever it takes to defeat whoever, or whatever, has him up against the wall.

This adventure is one of investigation, discovery and drama, and would best suit players looking for a hard hitting, plot driven, game session (i.e. more SVU/Criminal Intent than Action/Adventure).

What price would you pay to achieve your wildest dreams?

An offer to sign the Contract.

Here’s the gist: The Contract is a tabletop roleplaying game about ambitious people who go on deadly missions to earn fantastic powers. It isn’t Ocean’s 11. You’re not a specialised team, but you’ll have to work together if you want to win.

Your job today? Retrieve a ‘package’ going by the name of Murphy and deliver it to the drop-off point… alive. Wait, that's it? A simple escort mission? Just don't forget one simple law- Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong!
Think you have what it takes?

The Witch Is Dead! — The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch FULL

You are playing a small animal who is the familiar of a witch living in the forest between two towns.

For many years you have lived with your beautiful and wonderful witch who was your entire world. And then disaster struck!

Just last night,she was brutally murdered; however she had prophesied her own death and told her wonderful familiar animals that if they track down the murderer and bring their eyeballs back to her corpse before the Full Moon she would be restored to life!

Finding the witch-hunter and killing them would be tricky for anyone, after all witch-hunters are trained and dangerous, however they are much harder to defeat when you only weigh between a few ounces and a few pounds and lack opposable thumbs.

But it is up to you to make them pay for what they've done otherwise your beautiful witch will be lost forever!

Wildsea — Red Right Hand FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 15:30 - 19:30 PDT

"A scratching from above, that could be claws on slate. Heavy breaths on the other side of a locked door. A guard's whistle cut short, replaced by a strangled cry."

"These are the night-sounds of Nuskaro--the whispers of a city under siege."

Welcome to the Wildsea, a post-apocalyptic weird fantasy game where the known world has been supplanted and overtaken by massive, mountain-dwarfing trees, and a verdant overgrowth that has drunk the oceans, mutated the wildlife and buried the great cities of old deep beneath the iron roots. Danger and monstrosities lurk in this weird world, but so do great miracles, discoveries, and lost treasure...

Become part of an eclectic crew of driftwood-golems, ancestor-haunted humans, colonies of spiders in mummified shells, or cactus-faced brutes, taking to the waves on metal chainsaw-prowed ships powered by bees--or maybe racing on sineweing underscales, its engine a rope golem pulling strands beneath a giant insect carapace hull? It's all up to the players!

In this one-shot module, we will spend time as a Wildship crew docked at Nuskaro, the City of Closed Doors. It is an orderly, free-trading port, ruled by the Clockface Council--who assures worried residents that things are well in hand, in spite of the mandated curfew. But a mysterious killer stalks the night, whispers of conspiracy and revolution stirs amongst the angry citizenry, and all hunts and festivals have ground to a halt as ordinary townsfolk huddle fearfully behind shuttered windows. Outsiders are needed to investigate these disturbances--those who fear neither the Council's decrees, nor their automated clockwork guardians...

Indigenous Voices in Tabletop: A Roundtable Discussion

How can Indigenous voices shape the future of tabletop gaming? What role does game design play in storytelling, cultural preservation, and advocacy? Join us for a conversation with Indigenous game designers and industry professionals as they share their experiences navigating the gaming industry, advocating for Indigenous consultation, and creating games that centre Indigenous knowledge, histories, and storytelling traditions.
This panel, co-sponsored by UBC’s Pop Culture Cluster, brings together game designers working across the tabletop gaming industry to discuss the intersections of play, representation, and community engagement. The discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities of Indigenous-led game design, the importance of culturally responsive game development, and the ways in which games can serve as powerful tools for education, reconciliation, and social change.

Join us at Terminal City Tabletop Convention for a powerful discussion on Indigenous representation and storytelling in board games, featuring three incredible industry voices.

James Corbiere, designer of The Truth in Truth and Reconciliation, will be joining us from Vancouver Island and showcasing his work at the event.
Luke Parnell, an artist and game designer based in Prince Rupert, will be fresh from NYC to share insights on the intersection of Indigenous art, history, and game design.
David Plamondon, an Indigenous board game consultant, game store owner, and emerging publisher, will deliver the opening remarks and moderate the roundtable. David is also stepping into the role of Indigenous consultant for the event. Learn more about his work at Pemetawe.

This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in diverse storytelling, cultural representation, and the evolving landscape of Indigenous-led game design.

Molly House FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 18:30 - 20:30 PDT

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.

A hidden role deduction game where each player is secretly a member of one of three factions (sailor, pirate, cultist) each trying to navigate a ship to a separate destination. Rounds are structured by a designated captain choosing a lieutenant and a navigator, taking a mutiny vote and secretly choosing from randomly drawn navigation cards to steer the ship. The secondary events on both the board and the selected navigation card provide many opportunities to determine who you can trust, manipulate the deck and even convert another player to your cause!

Friday March 14, 2025 19:00 - 23:00 PDT

Scheduled Tabletop - ST101

In ancient times, the world was ruled by seven demons, plunged into chaos, and all races became slaves to the demons. Darkness covered the sky, until one day, the Titan gods descended to this land. Finally, the Titans achieved the ultimate victory, banishing the souls of the seven demons to the void and completely destroying their bodies. As they departed, to prevent the demons from returning, the Titans left behind one artifact for each of the world's five major native races. If the demons were to return, these artifacts would be the key to saving the world.

You embark a journey to the Forbidden Tower to seek Mage Veda, only to find more mysteries within...

Friday March 14, 2025 20:00 - 23:00 PDT

The Sun is dying

In recent years, the Sun has become increasingly unstable, to the point where experts claim it could go supernova at any moment. The various inhabitants of the planets in this solar system are launching one last effort to save themselves, which involves building a final Ark to propel a small selection of their people into deep space. This requires a great deal of energy, and in a final ironic twist, the only source of such great energy is the dying star itself. In the process of extracting and transmitting the energy required to save themselves, they will be compounding the instability of the Sun and hastening the end of their worlds.

Sol: Last Days of a Star is a board game for one to five players where each player represents a different planetary effort to transmit as much energy from the Sun back to their Ark so they can to escape the solar system before the Sun explodes!

So, here's the deal. Camp Clearwater's been abandoned since some grisly, unsolved murders 20 years ago (or whatever). The new owner probably made that up. What I know is we've got a couple weeks to set up before campers arrive, and most of the hard work is already done. We've got enough good vibes and distance from authority to make this the greatest summer ever. What could possibly go wrong?

Fiasco is a game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control. During a game you engineer and play out stupid, disastrous situations. Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and if you are really lucky, you just might end up back where you started. You probably won’t be lucky.

Two things:
One: you have a complex plan that requires precise timing.
Two: You are a GODDAMN BEAR.

PREPARATION:
Your characters RACE (type of bear), CLASS (role in the heist), and DESCRIPTOR (personality feature) are randomly determined. However, preparing things like a Name and vague backstory are recommended.

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme — And now for something completely different... FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 20:00 - 23:55 PDT

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme is a rigorous course of study intended only for serious students of English History. It is by no means a game for running imaginative, highly unpredictable, Mediaeval-themed role-playing based upon the complete comedic output of Monty Python.

Though the Programme is set in Mediaeval England, it draws upon Monty Python’s entire catalogue to render up an interactive world full of their unique characters, creations, and sensibilities. Participants need not be familiar with Monty Python’s work in order to participate, nor is role-playing game experience required. (The latter would be entirely useless, as this is emphatically not a role-playing game, and if you do have extensive experience with such things, you are likely too silly a person to participate in this Programme and should stop reading immediately.)

Players will get to choose to play characters from a low, low class Churl, to a upper, upper class Noble, with a smattering of Minstrels, Druids, and Sorcerers in between. Why are these two dramatically different classes of people together? Shut up, that’s why.

The “game” itself is more a story game than a dungeon crawler. And by no means are you encouraged to be funny at all. In fact, you will be punished for trying to be funny. This is a serious historical programme.

Shadowdark — Echoes of Ashmoor FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 20:00 - 23:55 PDT

Traders along the Old Eastern Road have been disappearing near the borderland town of Ashmoor. With resources spread thin around the Empire, groups of seasoned Crawlers have been hired to take care of domestic problems. You are one such group.

You must journey to the farthest reach of the Empire to uncover the whereabouts of the missing traders; you must investigate the town for information, delve deep into ancient tombs & ruins to reclaim the lost relics and esoteric knowledge that will aid you in your quest. Will you be able to save the souls of Ashmoor, or will you yourselves be damned to serve in Abyssal torment?

This is an adventure for 4-5 Level 5 PCs. Shadowdark is a game with modern mechanics and an old-school feel, with inherent danger, split-second decisions and fast combat, so PC death is possible, but smart play is rewarded. The answers are in your mind, not on your character sheet. Distances are abstracted, with combat taking place in the theatre of the mind using some visual aids such as room sketches where required. The game will have some elements of body horror. You will pick a level 5 PC at the beginning of the session, and I will have a number of backup characters to pick from if your PC should meet an untimely end. Journey with me, my friends, and brave the depths and horrors of the Shadowdark!!

The Quiet Year — The Map is Not The Country FULL

Friday March 14, 2025 20:00 - 23:55 PDT

RPG Table - RPD2

The Quiet Year is a collaborative story-telling game by a local trans author - we take turns pulling prompt cards from a deck and drawing/updating our shared map. We all share ownership of a post-collapse settlement struggling for stability, and the leaders of the community (shared characters held loosely). We determine the threats (internal and external), and the projects to secure resources to survive. The seasons pass and resources and threats wax and wane; sometime during the winter the Frost Shepherds will arrive, ending the game and threatening all we've built.

Pensive tone - a game with a big heart. No DM, collaborative and equal.
No prescribed setting beyond the post-collapse small settlement - we choose genre and setting, major landscape features.
Tends towards a serious tone with themes of want/scarcity/threat - we play to explore themes of community under pressure.
Easily understood rules we'll read together.

Safety tools: lines and veils, x card, pause/rewind. Serious themes means we have to be more kind and gentle with each other.

In Art Society, you are an art connoisseur trying to impress your peers by putting together the most fashionable art collection of them all!
Bid on the hottest works of art, then arrange them on your drawing room wall into a tastefully curated gallery that’s the envy of the local art scene.

But beware! Fashion is fleeting, and trends are difficult to predict. The paintings that you and your fellow collectors do not buy will eventually make their way to the museum, changing the worth of your collection.

In the end, whose wall will be the talk of town?

Molly House FULL

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

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.

Sagrada - Learn to Play FULL

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

Draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade in Sagrada to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.

In more detail, each player builds a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other. Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts two dice. Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement...as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.

Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens; once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the other players to use them.

The highest scoring window artisan wins!

Quacks of Quedlinburg FULL

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

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.

Scheduled Tabletop, Resource Management / Worker Placement

Before Essen 1999, a group of students founded Splotter Spellen to publish their own games. Bus is one of their standout designs. Players compete to transport passengers by expanding routes, adding buses, and developing the city. Destination types (work, bar, home) change each turn, requiring strategic planning.

Actions include buying buses, extending routes, adding buildings, and introducing passengers via bus. A unique turn order mechanic forces tough choices—some actions let the first player execute last, creating tense decision-making.

Bus routes follow Settlers-style placement, extending from either end. Passengers arrive at two train stations, making route planning crucial. Blocking opponents by manipulating building placement can disrupt their efficiency. Smart play involves setting up repeat passengers for future turns.

The setting is a low magic world where your character's wits, wiles, and cunning will have as much impact on the outcome as strength of arm, magical prowess, and rolls of the dice.

RPG Table - RPD2

Fall of Magic is a group storytelling game played on a beautiful fabric scroll map with metal coins.

Our characters will grow and change as we journey together. We all also occasionally take turns playing the Magus: the powerful being we are all accompanying to the land of Umbra (where magic was born), because magic is in trouble!

We will each take turns setting small scenes based on chosen short prompts and explore deep themes - tends to the philosophical and dramatic. Think: Lord of the Rings travel sequences without any battle sequences.

Don't be worried about the storytelling part, they're short scenes that will slowly create/reveal our characters' histories and characteristics, no need for anything prewritten at all!

Ages 13+ - tends to have some more adult themes like death. We'll be using some baked in safety features in this game, mostly standard ones - we take turns reading the short rules at the start of the game. No GM but I'll be facilitating.

At the edge of the galaxy the shadow of the Empire is cast in twisting, sinister, and perhaps unfamiliar forms. When a small community’s generosity is taken advantage of by corporate interests, their quiet life is thrown into turmoil. Their tradition of hospitality and care drives them to welcome the strangers whose space station home was destroyed by an asteroid strike. No one asked for the polluting and disruptive mining operation, but the townsfolk have little influence over the corporate juggernaut. And as if those problems aren’t enough, there are rumors of bandits causing havoc on the outskirts of town. Caught between a greedy mining corporation, roaming bandits, and refugees in need, the locals of Belska are overwhelmed and struggling. Can anyone ease the burden on this small community or will the farthest tendrils of the Empire’s influence overcome them?

Come play as an unlikely group of friends united by a sense of justice and loyalty to their home. A tale of maintaining and creating community based on shared values. Utilizing the unique narrative dice driven Star Wars RPG system: Edge of the Empire with theater of the mind combat, successes and failures alike will unlock opportunities for heroic storytelling. Explore the themes and drama of a Star Wars story from a less grand but no less important corner of the galaxy. Safety tools will be in play.

This is a learn to play event!

Netrunner is a two-player asymmetric card game set in a dystopian future where four mega corporations control almost every aspect of daily life. Legendary hackers known as “runners” aim to fight the corps’ influence by hacking into their servers and preventing them from advancing their sinister agendas.

In Netrunner, one player takes the role of the Corp, whose tools include corporate assets and defensive programs called “ice”. Using tools like these and the element of surprise, the Corp aims to advance their agendas to completion. Across the table, the Runner‘s objective is to infiltrate the Corp’s servers and steal their agendas, and they’ll draw on their resources, specialty hardware, and programs to do so. Of course, the Runner is no threat if they’re dead, so a canny Corp may also attempt to “flatline” their opponent through damage—while the Runner’s secondary path to victory is stalling the Corp long enough that they run out of opportunities.

Can the Runner see through the Corp’s bluffs and emerge victorious from their netspace siege, or will the Corp tighten their grip upon the world? Find out by playing Netrunner.

BattleTech Learn to Play - Grinder by Catalyst LIMITED

Saturday March 15, 2025 10:00 - 11:00 PDT

Join us for a Battletech Grinder event, an event which historically is the most popular Battletech event the Catalyst Demo Team runs at GenCon, Origins and many other conventions around the world.

The Battletech Grinder is a casual all-day event and is great for all ability levels where players only pilot one mech at a time. Due to the nature of the event, players can join in, or drop out at any time without disrupting the event, so if you only want to play for a couple of hours and then move on to something else, it's not an issue.

The general idea of the Grinder is that players start with a simple, randomly-assigned small mech that uses basic weapons and rules in a free-for-all style gladiatorial match of Battlemech mayhem. When their mech is destroyed they get randomly-assigned a bigger, better mech that has slightly more complicated weapons and rules, which help ramp the player's learning of the rules and tactics of Battletech in a manageable way, and then thrown back into the carnage! This way new players are introduced to the vast rules of tabletop Battletech over time. Once a player has advanced to the highest class of mech, should they get destroyed again, they start the cycle all over again with a new randomly-assigned basic mech, continuing on in the never-ending slaughterfest.

All supplies will be provided by the Catalyst Demo Team, including miniatures, maps/terrain, dice, record sheets and pencils.

Game of Thrones: The Card Game - Second Edition, Joust FULL

Saturday March 15, 2025 10:00 - 12:00 PDT

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.

Arcs FULL

Arcs is a sharp, tactical space opera game, for 2–4 players, set in a dark yet silly universe. Players represent officials from a distant, decaying and neglectful Empire who are now free to vie for dominance whether through battle, gathering scarce resources or diplomatic intrigue. Ready yourself for dramatic twists and turns as you launch into this galactic struggle.

A deck of cards in 4 suits with ranks from 1-7 (2-6 for less than 4 players) defines the action selection system. These cards are played in a trick-taking adjacent system to select actions, take the initiative and declare Ambitions. The 3 declared Ambitions are what will score in that deal. Timing is everything. Bad hands must be mitigated by careful card play and benefitting from other players' card play.

Battles are resolved quickly with the attacker choosing their level of risk. The defenders must be prepared with adequate defensive ships and cards in their tableau.

Black Orchestra is a fully co-operative game where you play as historic figures working inside Hitler's Reich, while secretly plotting to kill him and end the madness you see around you.

You will work together to line up assassination plots, gather resources to carry them out, and roll the dice on risky conspiracy actions that hope to raise the motivation you need, undermine Hitler's support, and maybe provide a slim chance to succeed in killing history's worst villain. Unfortunately you will most often either be caught while committing your act of treason or find that your suspicious actions have led the Gestapo to imprison you and your co-conspirators first.

Waterdeep, the City of Splendors – the most resplendent jewel in the Forgotten Realms, and a den of political intrigue and shady back-alley dealings. In this game, the players are powerful lords vying for control of this great city. Its treasures and resources are ripe for the taking, and that which cannot be gained through trickery and negotiation must be taken by force!

In Lords of Waterdeep, a strategy board game for 2-5 players, you take on the role of one of the masked Lords of Waterdeep, secret rulers of the city. Through your agents, you recruit adventurers to go on quests on your behalf, earning rewards and increasing your influence over the city. Expand the city by purchasing new buildings that open up new actions on the board, and hinder – or help – the other lords by playing Intrigue cards to enact your carefully laid plans.

During the course of play, you may gain points or resources through completing quests, constructing buildings, playing intrigue cards or having other players utilize the buildings you have constructed. At the end of 8 rounds of play, the player who has accrued the most points wins the game.

Be a part of the reconstruction of Lisboa after the great earthquake of 1755. You will work with the architects to build Lisbon anew, with the Marquis to develop commerce and with the King to open all the buildings.
The overarching gameplay is largely play a card, take an action and then draw a card. The complexity comes in when deciding which action combo to take to build your economy, gain influence, and maximize scoring.

New players welcome as a teach will be included. On the other hand, this game (4.5/5) is best for players with experience in heavy euro or other Lacerda games.

On your turn in Toy Battle, you either draw two toy troops or place a troop on the board and apply its effect. When a place a troop, you can place it on an empty base, a base that you control, a base that the enemy controls with a lower-valued troop than the one you're placing, or the enemy's headquarters; however, in all cases you must place on a location that has a continuous path to your own headquarters through bases that you occupy, that is, that have your troop on top. If you occupy bases that form a continuous path around a region, you claim the medals within this region.

Ethnos FULL

Saturday March 15, 2025 14:00 - 15:30 PDT

Ethnos is a fantasy themed set collection area control game. In Ethnos, players call upon the support of giants, merfolk, halflings, minotaurs, and other fantasy tribes to help them gain control of the land. After three ages of play, whoever has collected the most glory wins!

In more detail, the land of Ethnos contains twelve tribes of fantasy creatures, and in each game you choose six of them (five in a 2/3-player game), then create a deck with only the creatures in those tribes. The cards come in six colors, which match the six regions of Ethnos. Place three glory tokens in each region at random, arranging them from low to high.

Each player starts the game with one card in hand, then 4-12 cards (double the number of players) are placed face up on the table. On a turn, a player either recruits an ally or plays a band of allies. In the former case, you take a face-up card (without replacing it from the deck) or the top card of the deck and add it to your hand. In the latter case, you choose a set of cards in your hand that match either in tribe or in color, play them in front of you on the table, then discard all other cards in hand. You then place one token in the region that matches the color of the top card just played, and you use the power of the tribe member on the top card just played.

At the end of the first age, whoever has the most tokens in a region scores the glory shown on the first token. After the second age, the players with the most and second most tokens score glory equal to the values shown on the first and second tokens respectively. Players score similarly after the third age, then whoever has the most glory wins. (Games with two and three players last only two ages.)

C'Thulu Dark — CODENAME: MDF FILLING

Saturday March 15, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT

Summary
On the 1st of April, 2019, at 6:43 am RMT, a highway patrol officer reported the overnight appearance of a retail park containing one (1) two-story Home Depot retail store in Lost Springs, Wyoming. No records of the store appear on any online maps or the official company website, nor do any staff of the company have any knowledge of a store being built in the affected area.

Mission Objectives
Locate and question the four (4) permanent residents for information on the irregularity
Produce physical and media evidence of the Irregularity
Question the Home Depot staff, if any, and record the interior of the irregularity
Deploy coverup
Return to the Rocky Mountain Office in case Foundation officials deem the project dangerous

Reports to Confirm
The sudden appearance of a commercial complex: The overnight appearance of a commercial park including but potentially not limited to; a two-story Home Depot retail store, 2000ft² above, and underground parking structure including twelve (12) electric vehicle charging stations, half (½) of one (1) California Pizza Kitchen chain restaurant, approximately two-thirds (⅔) of one (1) Panda Express chain restaurant, and one (1) Footlocker chain clothing store missing its southern wall.

Loss of contact with locals: All four (4) permanent residents and one (1) highway patrol officer, Ms. Kathy Struthers of Casper, Wyoming, have been unheard of since the irregularity.

Irregular beverage options: One (1) Coca-Cola brand vending machine at the North-Western exist of the Home Depot offers six (6) beverage options not typically offered by any known soft-drink producers; Coca-Coco-Cola, Whitecherry Crush, MM Supreme, Spite, Pilk, and Yellow Coke.

Meta Description
The Foundation and GOC are too busy to deal with this mess, so it's up to the FBI's Unusual Instances Unit to investigate the anomaly! Take on the role of the underfunded, underinformed, and underprepared agents of the UIU as you explore a mysterious Home Depot and attempt to locate the missing residents of Lost Springs. We'll be playing a slightly edited C'Thulu Dark; added a background die and removed the force-a-fail feature that I've found just adds bad vibes rather than fun.

Eons ago, under the leadership of the Bugbear Warlord Korrax Steelshank, the Horde ruled unchallenged. All trembled before the ferocity of the host he drove ceaselessly forwards. When he was cruelly slain by the feeble adventurers of the Realm, the Goblins fell to infighting, and splintered into warring factions.

Now, a vision has come in the night to the shaman of your tribe; the spirit of Korrax is rising! All able bodied Goblins have been called to take up arms, reunite the scattered tribes, and reclaim the glory of The Horde!!

In this Shadowdark Gauntlet, you will play the role of Level 0 Goblin minions, answering the call of their ancient hero. Your journey will lead you through treacherous wilderness; where you will be punished by the elements, ford dangerous rivers, fight off terrifying and deadly monsters, and make your way through a hostile village. Can you answer the call of the Horde, and bathe in the blood of your enemies? Or will you merely be yet another dead minion, nameless amongst the corpses?

The Gauntlet is a deadly adventure, where each player will have their choice of Goblin minion to play. If a PC dies, they can replace them from a pool of pre-generated characters. While death is likely, the odds are not insurmountable, and smart play is rewarded.

Where before gangs would pass each other with holstered weapons and wary glances, each keeping to their respective territories, now they engage in open warfare, and spireblack gunsmoke floats through the dark city. Families come apart, leaving children without mothers, begging on the streets for sustenance. The Crimson Vigil, a group of violent anti-aelfir reactionaries, are openly recruiting soldiers for their forbidden cult. And a new play, The Weeping Maiden, is touring the district – and that’s all anyone seems to talk about.

Things are coming apart, and ordinary people are getting caught in the middle. Someone is behind this. The player characters, all of them noted professionals in Red Row (and relative novices in the Ministry) gather their resistance cell together and start investigating.

This is all in the pursuit of ascension — using magic to defy your fate.

Although you begin against the backdrop of people disappearing in unseasonal fogs in the city of Toronto, you are quicky confronted with the fantastic during a brunch event at Casa Loma. During the castle tour, you discover a portal to another world — hidden within an intricately engraved antique study closet cupboard. When it whisks you off to a fantastic village, you’ll need to cram enough spellcraft to deal with suspicious villagers, a powerful priestess, and repair the broken study closet before the visiting army descend on the witch’s cottage.

Indonesia FULL

Saturday March 15, 2025 15:00 - 18:00 PDT

Indonesia is a game in which two to five players build up an economy, trying to acquire the most money. Players acquire production companies, which produce goods (rice, spices, microwaveable meals, rubber, and oil), and shipping companies, which deliver goods to cities. As cities receive goods, they grow, increasing their demands. Production companies earn money for each good delivered to a city, up to the city's capacity, but they must pay shipping companies for the distance traveled, even if they end up losing money. Players can research advantages, like greater shipping capacity or the ability to merge companies, possibly stealing ownership of lucrative plantations or shipping routes by buying out other players.

New Years Eve, 1986. High in the Rocky Mountains, the decrepit Doverdale Lodge is ablaze with activity as the staff greet the well-monied revellers who have booked the hotel for an opulent party. Travellers from all over the world are arriving at the hotel tonight, the booze is flowing freely and the band is tuning up to play waltzes until the ball drops. It promises to be a party for the ages.

You arrive at this party as an uninvited guest, here at the behest of an old friend, Diego Matteo, who insisted on your presence here tonight. You learned through your circles that a few others have also received similar invitations, each of whom were trusted friends of Diego in past decades… which makes the invitation even more unusual. Diego hasn’t spoken to you in years, and to have him resurface now in such a manner raises more questions than his letter can answer. With a quiet hint of dread in your mind, you find yourself boarding the small shuttle bus that will take you up the snowy roads, towards the sole blaze of light high in the peaks above the sleepy mountain town.

Towards the Doverdale Lodge.

High School, the best years of your life. Four years of learning and growth. Or maybe four years of debauchery and mayhem, incoherently guided by your peers. Is there any other time in life to which “powerful ambition and poor impulse control” is a more apt summary?

Level 3 pre-generated characters (the Iconics!) will be provided to help guide through learning the mechanics, but feel free to use their story or make your own!

“Citizens in town are being bothered by a strange spree of burglaries: mysterious holes are appearing in cellars and storerooms, and supplies (especially food, medicine, and adventuring gear), have been vanishing overnight. The guards are nonplussed: even more bizarre are the strange notes being left behind. Who or what could be making these holes? No bug would steal a shovel or healing potion, no ghost needs food, and goblins have an irrational fear of writing.

What in the world is happening? Can you find out who is behind such a curious and highly-effective crime?”

Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast — The Breakfast Feast and The Witch’s Missing Shadow FULL

Saturday March 15, 2025 19:00 - 23:00 PDT

Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast is a cozy slice-of-life game from the makers of Wanderhome about a heartless witch, her bed and breakfast, and the queer found family who call it home. Broken up into chapters, each with its own unique play mechanics and mood, the game features a wide assortment of characters and games you can pick up and play.

In this session we will play two chapters: The Breakfast Feast and The Witch's Missing Shadow.

In The Breakfast Feast, we will work together to cook a huge breakfast and then eat it together.
In The Witch's Missing Shadow, Yazeba's shadow gets detached from her body, and she'll need help from the bed and breakfast's robotic housekeeper - and a cast of guests - to get it back.

This is a relaxed game suitable for anyone who wants to try out a few different mechanics, admire the beautiful game book, and make some new friends. Beginners and shy players welcome!

Everyone (Players 13+)

Scheduled Tabletop, Hidden Role - Movement or Traitor

Battlestar Galactica is a semi-cooperative game for 3–6 players. Players play as one of ten possible characters, classed as 'Political Leaders', 'Military Leaders', 'Pilots', or 'Support', each character having benefits and drawbacks. Player are secretly dealt one loyalty card at the start of the game which determines whether the players are human or Cylon and therefore whether they win or lose if the humans achieve their goal. Simulating the activation of a sleeper agent in the television series who did not realise she was a Cylon, players draw a second card midway through, which may turn them to the Cylon side. A hidden Cylon player can covertly disrupt the humans' plans, meaning that, for the humans, deducing who is secretly an enemy agent is a critical part of the game. Players can send suspected Cylons to Galactica's brig and a revealed Cylon can still be disruptive after returning to their home fleet via the Resurrection Ship.

Arcs is a sharp, tactical space opera game set in a dark yet silly universe. Players represent officials from a distant, decaying and neglectful Empire who are now free to vie for dominance whether through battle, gathering scarce resources or diplomatic intrigue.

This is one of the hottest games released last year. I've never played it, so I thought I'd take out the library copy and give it a try. I will read through the rules and/or watch a how-to-play video prior to our playthrough. If you are familiar with the game, you're welcome to teach it. If we're all beginners, we can figure it out together.

Stationfall FULL

What is Stationfall? Well, imagine a dozen or so random humans, robots, and none-of-the-aboves, each with their own abilities, goals, and secret relationships, have been turned loose on a space station that is going to be incinerated upon its inevitable reentry into Earth's atmosphere. You are one of these characters, and the others are collaborators you have on hand ready to assist you in achieving your goals. But choose them wisely, as any one of them could secretly be another player waiting to betray you!

Stationfall is a box full of creative solutions, but that box is going to morph, twist, and grow teeth over the course of play. Your best turns will exploit the unique tactical freedom of being a secret conspiracy, as well as deductions about your opponents’ identities and motives. Stationfall is messy, intricate, and full of dangerous variables.

We each run a corporation that is contracted by the US Government to run part of the city of New Angeles, which is on the equator and hosts a trillion-dollar space elevator. If we keep the city running, we keep our contracts. But if the city descends into chaos, the Government pulls our contracts and we all lose. But one player may be secretly aligned with the feds trying to backstab us so we all lose. And, we each have a secret rival we're trying to earn more capital than to win. So we're working together... but only as much as necessary.

In this award-winning game, players take on the roles of Grandes in medieval Spain. The king's power is flagging, and these powerful lords are vying for control of the various regions. To that end, you draft caballeros (knights) into your court and subsequently move them onto the board to help seize control of regions. After every third round, the regions are scored, and after the ninth round, the player with the most points is the winner.
In each of the nine rounds, you select one of your 13 power cards to determine turn order as well as the number of caballeros you get to move from the provinces (general supply) into your court (personal supply). New players welcome.

Honey Buzz + Expansions (Fall Flavors, Honey Pot, Cornucopia) FULL

Saturday March 15, 2025 21:00 - Sunday March 16, 2025 00:00 PDT

The bees have discovered economics. The queens believe that if they sell honey to the bears, badgers, and woodland creatures, they will find peace and prosperity. Spring has arrived and it's time to build the hive, find nectar, make honey, and, for the first time ever, set up shop.

Honey Buzz is a worker bee placement game where players expand a personal beehive by drafting various honeycomb tiles that grant actions that are triggered throughout the game. Each tile represents a different action. Whenever a tile is laid so that it completes a certain pattern, a ring of actions is triggered in whatever order the player chooses. A tile drafted on turn one could be triggered up to three times at any point during the game. It all depends on how the player places their beeples (bee+meeple) and builds their hive. After all, in the honey business, efficiency is queen.

As you continually expand your hive, you'll forage for nectar and pollen, make honey, sell different varieties at the bear market, host honey tastings, and attend to the queen and her court. There's only so much nectar to go around, and finding it won't be easy. Players will have to scout out the nectar field and pay attention to other players searches to try to deduce the location of the nectar they need for themselves.

Use positional play to complete quests—and influence fate to ensure the outcome is in your favor. Strike the perfect balance of misdirection and mischief to capture the throne.

There are 9 Demigods. At the beginning of the game, each player is secretly assigned one Demigod as their offspring. When the game begins, however, players may control the actions of any Demigod, not just their own. Through strategic play, special powers, and secret voting, players must aid their Demigod in gaining Renown. But be careful! Giving away your lineage too soon may cause the other players to work together toward your Demigod’s demise.

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 :)

Meanwhile, beyond the city walls Mongol hordes approach. If you help construct the city walls, you give up on precious opportunities to build up your own stature, but leave it unprotected and you will burn with the city. Every decision is weighty and the consequences of each misstep are dire. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion? Learners are welcome.

Rise & Fall is a full control strategic game. Each player controls a civilization trying to expand and progress in a fantasy world. This world displays a unique landscape where glaciers live on islands and huge cliffs are common barriers and challenges to overcome.

In this gorgeous land each player starts with a small tribe including a village, a citizen and a ship and will grow to a full civilization with more of the pre-mentioned units but also temples, merchants and the precious highlanders, the only ones able to pass those astonishing cliffs.

Rise & Fall is a very immersive and addictive game, easy to understand, with no luck or randomness involved. The initial creation of the world by itself is a real pleasure and each game brings a different map to the table.

I will be adding the expansion From the Abyss to it, which adds new cool enemies for the cultists and new allies for the Humans.

New players are welcome, but please try to watch a "Learn how to play" video for the base game so the rule explanation can be more an overview rather than a full explanation.

Crash Pandas — Street Racing: "Its Trash CAN not Trash CAN'T." FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT

This game is an elaborate opportunity to roleplay as a group of characters hopeful to win the upcoming championship of an underground street racing league.
With a series of three races your characters will secure, upgrade and race with the ultimate prize in mind.

The rules are there ain't no rules, all right?

Now all of that is exciting enough, however, our intrepid adventurers are not humans, they are a ragtag group of street racoons desperate to change their fates!
So much like the concept of 3 kobolds in a trenchcoat, the race with 5 raccoons in a Mazda is bound to be exciting.

Preparation: I recommend coming up with a NAME, a THEME (think career/hobby in Racoon land), and a DESCRIPTOR (a couple of words to describe your personality). This game gives you a bonus to rolls when it is tied to your THEME/BACKSTORY and a bigger bonus if it is the CORE THEME of your backstory.

I HAVE ATTACHED THE ONE PAGE RULES TO THE EVENT.

Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT

This is an adventure for players 13+ and characters at the 3rd level!

"It took them up the mountainside!"

For as long as anyone can remember, the village of Domai has thrived in the shadow of Tuboshiro, the ancient ruins perched high on the mountainside. Its crumbling towers and silent halls have always been a mystery, older than memory itself. Some whisper of untold riches hidden beyond its traps and fiendish foes. Others claim it is a cursed tomb, the final resting place of an evil king.

But now, the ruins stir. Domai’s children have vanished without a trace, and strange lights and sounds have begun emanating from the castle. This is no coincidence: something—or someone—has taken the children to Tuboshiro.

You and your companions must enter its forbidden halls, and uncover its darkest secrets before time runs out and the fate of Domai's children is sealed. But beware—Tuboshiro is no mere ruin. Whatever sleeps within has awakened, and it will not let its secrets go without a fight.

Fall of Delta Green — On a Bank, By Moonlight FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT

1968. Two people in the small town of Milltown, NY die on the same night. One was a tragic car accident; the other, shot in self-defence by the police. Both were members of the same commune of hippies and drop-outs that’s taken over a farm just outside town.

Police reports contain references to chanting. To carven idols. To strange ceremonies by moonlight.

As Agents of DELTA GREEN, a top-secret branch of the US Government, your mission is to investigate those deaths, find out the truth – and take whatever action is necessary to eradicate any unnatural influence. When your predecessors raided Innsmouth in 1928, DELTA GREEN saw what the unnatural can do if it takes root in America.

It cannot be allowed to happen again.

Ironsworn: Starforged — Hardened Stars FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT

We fled to the Forge as a last resort. This galaxy serves us no shortage of dangers and opportunities in equal measure that are often one and the same. But humanity has persisted. There are many mysteries of our new home to be uncovered. We explore, mediate, discover, create, and fight as we adapt to living here. While there is much out there we haven’t encountered, we also did not escape all of the problems of our original home. We brought with us our malice, our systems of power, and a capability for cruelty. To overcome these faults we carry with us and the perils of this galaxy, we chose to take an iron vow, a sacred oath. A promise to someone else or to ourselves that propels us into the great cold void. We will not be dissuaded. We won’t give in.

Come play as Ironsworn, driven and capable people of the Forge, in this science fiction adventure. At the table, we will create the galaxy of the Forge with all of its peoples, history, conflicts, and mysteries. We will make heroes bound by their oaths to explore, discover, make relationships, and leave their mark on the galaxy. Then we will take the plunge into adventure based on the choices we made. The narrative focused system of Ironsworn: Starforged ensures that all actions are meaningful and keep the story interesting and progressing.

Bring your creativity and collaborate with your fellow players to create a fantastic story together. Safety tools will be in play.

Last Train to Bremen FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT

Thirteen years ago, four struggling musicians made a deal with the Devil. What were they chasing? Fame, riches, adoration. Your classic Devil fare.

What happened next? Well, you know the way these stories go: the damned fools got it in their head to try and outrun their end of the bargain.

See, the Devil is coming to collect his due, and he doesn’t take kindly to those who can’t cough up. Which brings this story to the four of us here, now, huddled in the back of a freight car on a train hurtling to the one place the Devil will never catch us. One final, desperate shot at immortality.

And if we’re lucky? By the end of the night, one of us will still be left alive to tell the tale.

Last Train to Bremen is a storytelling game of doomed musicians and poor decisions for exactly four players. It uses snappy rules based on Liar’s Dice and other push-your-luck dice games to deliver a tale of secrets, tension, backstabbing, and betrayal.

Build your band, saddle them with baggage, flee your cursed contract, and reflect together on all the choices you made that led you down this sorry path.

Wickedness is a fantasy-RPG from Possum Creek Games

We will form a coven consisting of 3 witches, each following a unique archetype - the innocent and gentle pure heart, the volatile and revelrous wild spirit, and the uptight scholarly Old Soul. Utilizing a tarot card deck we will draw cards which represent challenges and trials we must work together to face. In the first phase of the game we will draw cards to get to know our coven and its members, in the second phase we will face these trails together.

This game is dice-less and GM-less with 3 players and very light on mechanics you need to learn - focusing on collaborative storytelling and working together to solve problems - all players will take part in building the narrative we are playing. Anyone welcome who would like to see what cards fate decides to deal us!

Game of Thrones: The Card Game - Second Edition, Joust LIMITED

Sunday March 16, 2025 10:00 - 12:00 PDT

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.

In the game, each player represents one of the seven "Great Powers of Europe" in the years prior to World War I. Play begins in the Spring of 1901, and players must negotiate and make deals with other players in order to have any success in expanding their borders. They will make both Spring and Autumn moves each year. with two kinds of military units: armies and fleets. On any given turn, each of your military units has limited options: it can move into an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in an attack on an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in defending an adjoining territory, or hold its position. Players instruct each of their units by writing a set of "orders." The outcome of the various orders is basically determined by the total strength of the units involved. There are no dice rolls or other elements of chance. With its incredibly simplistic movement mechanism fused to a significant negotiation element, this system is highly respected by many gamers.

Come for the ridiculously cute meeples, stay for the fun, light strategy game of card drafting and area control. If you are a fan of "Keep The Monsters Out" this is made by the same designer! A fairly simple game but planning available card streaks to match what you would like your meeples on the board to be able to do keeps it feeling strategic.

I played this game once at a convention and have been dying to play it again. It has been a little bit, so please bear with me for rules. I have added extra time to the play time to account for learning time.

KeyForge is a two-player battling card game from Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. So how do you build your deck? That's the neat part, you don't! Each deck comes prebuilt and ready to play, making it easy to learn the game, and the cards that each deck contain are procedurally generated in a way so that no two decks are the same!

In this learn-to-play session, I will be teaching everyone how to play with some time afterwards for some practice games. Each participant gets the following:
- 2 FREE KeyForge decks from a variety of sets (both opened/not sealed but still in shrink wrap)
- 2 set of tokens (enough for 2 players)
- 1 instructions manual

Come back for the Sealed KeyForge Tournament at 1:30 pm, which includes a FREE sealed (unopened) KeyForge deck for you to use in the event and keep! And there will be prizes!!

Decks provided by this event are on a limited supply so priority will be given to those who signed up online and then on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Galaxy Trucker FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 12:30 - 14:30 PDT

Galaxy Trucker is a light-hearted, chaotic game played across two phases: first, players will build a space ship in real time, and then they will send that space ship out on an expedition in which it will inevitably be attacked by marauders, hit by asteroids, and possibly destroyed!

Galaxy Trucker is easy to learn and (in my opinion) is more fun when the players at the table are bad at it. It's best for those who enjoy chaos and can laugh at their own misfortune.

ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo.

John Company: Second Edition FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 13:00 - 17:00 PDT

In John Company, players assume the roles of ambitious families attempting to use the British East India Company for personal gain. The game begins in the early eighteenth-century, when the Company has a weak foothold on the subcontinent. Over the course of the game, the Company might grow into the most powerful and insidious corporation in the world or collapse under the weight of its own ambition.

John Company is a game about state-sponsored trade monopoly. Unlike most economic games players often do not control their own firms. Instead, they will collectively guide the Company by securing positions of power, attempting to steer the Company’s fate in ways that benefit their own interests. However, the Company is an unwieldy thing. It is difficult to do anything alone, and players will often need to negotiate with one another. In John Company, most everything is up for negotiation.

Fiasco 1e — Camp Death 2: Return to Camp Death FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT

NEVER ASSUME THE KILLER IS DEAD...

Last summer’s massacre at Camp Clearwater rocked Barrow Pines, casting a pall over our sleepy town. Only when the inconclusive police investigation and media circus died down and we tried to put our lives back together did we realize our nightmare had just begun. Barrow Pines is full of secrets, and the deeper we dig into the mystery, the more questions we unearth. Those of us who have dared look have come to one inescapable conclusion: whatever killed all those people last year is still out there, and it will kill again. To stop the horror once and for all, we must return to where it all started. We must return to Camp Death.

Originally I was planning on running two Fiasco games until I realized another Fiasco facilitator had the same idea--so after discussion with the other GM, I will be running this standalone game as a possible sequel to their Camp Death game! Will we continue the horror that began at the very start of TCTC, or will we be making up our own imagined grindhouse prequel? Depends on who shows up, I suppose! So grab some popcorn and soda and strap in for ANOTHER THRILLING HORROR FIASCO!

Fiasco 2e — News Channel 6 FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT

RPG Table - RPB3

Fiasco is a game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control. During a game you engineer and play out stupid, disastrous situations. Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and if you are really lucky, you just might end up back where you started. You probably won’t be lucky.

News Channel Six is in last place in a small market, and Action News Eleven is eating our lunch (sometimes literally). This podunk town doesn’t have enough news for one station, let alone two. Between our own in-fighting and bad decisions from management, things are looking grim. Sometimes you need an angle, and to make a little news yourself…

Helluva Town — The Lady is a Tramp FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT

New York, 1930s. Helluva Town is a neighborhood were only cartoons live, an oasis of gummy, full-color 4K anarchy where you can be whoever you'd like and do whatever you want to do. Come, have fun, set everything on fire!

Think of an RPG that mixes Cuphead, the Looney Tunes, and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network productions with Goodfellas-style gangster movies and smart Who Framed Roger Rabbit?-style comedies, and you've only got ten percent of the madness of Helluva Town.

You play as a Toon, bending logic and physics to your will; each player uses a deck of poker cards (provided or bring your own!), rules can be learned in five minutes, and everything else is just chaos that happens as you try to extinguish your debt with whatever crime syndicate you got stuck in!

You and your crew of rogues and scoundrels have been plying your trade in the Lumen Drift, a sector of space plagued by rebellion and insurgency. The local rebellion appears to be well-funded, and you've been making good silver smuggling fugitives and spies for them along the colony worlds right under the noses of the Commonwealth. Now, a patron has enlisted you to deliver a cache of weapons to a remote rebel base, and your ship, the Second Chance, is loaded and ready for the run. All you have to do is evade Commonwealth patrols, deliver the goods, and get out undetected. Simple, right?

Mothership 1e — Year Of The Rat FULL

Did somebody say space heist? Did they mention it was scary, too? If you’re looking for a danger-defying burglary where success means riches and failure means death, then welcome to the ‘Year Of The Rat’ module for Mothership, a sci-fi horror RPG. Here’s the setup:

You got the team together; now it’s time to do the job. Your boss is Flysafe, a starship insurance company, and your target is The Year Of The Rat, a casino ship that’s been dead and missing for over a month. Get in, get the Rat's black box, and get out. Easy, right?

Flysafe just wants that black box -- anything else you find on the Rat is yours to keep. But with no idea how she went dark or what happened to her crew, you might find more than just credits aboard that drifting derelict…

Lorenzo Il Magnifico FULL

Sunday March 16, 2025 15:00 - 17:30 PDT

Scheduled Tabletop, Resource Management / Worker Placement

In Lorenzo il Magnifico, each player takes the role of the head of a noble family in a city during the Italian Renaissance to gain more prestige and fame — that is, victory points (VP) — than anyone else. To do so, you send your family members to different areas of town, where they can obtain many achievements. In one location, they get useful resources; in another, development cards that represent newly conquered territories, sponsored buildings, influenced characters, or encouraged ventures; and somewhere else they activate the effects of their cards.
Family members are not identical. At the beginning of each round, you roll three dice to determine their value. You must choose carefully where to send your most valuable family members. Learners are welcome.
