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.

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...

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!

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!

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.

Sail the Seas of Havoc with one of the game's designers! Get a sneak peek at the expansion crowdfunding in April! In Seas of Havoc players use worker placement and deckbuilding to supply, upgrade and maneuver their ships in fierce naval skirmishes. Expect tactics and strategy, but also expect a lot or ramming and cannon firing. Designed in Vancouver and shown at several TCTC proto alleys, Seas of Havoc went on to a successful crowdfunding campaign, several awards and a great critical response.

Star Wars Unlimited (SWU) is a trading card game that is designed with a draft format in mind.  I have curated a set of cards (a "cube") which can be used in a draft format without the need to purchase sealed product.  Players should be familiar with the rules of SWU but MTG players should be able to pick it up fairly quickly.  There will be a maximum of 8 players and at least 3 rounds of swiss will determine the winner.

It is crucial to know the base game of Arcs before playing this expansion. That is highly recommended. 

Arcs: The Blighted Reach Campaign – Forge Your Legacy Among the Stars
The Blighted Reach Campaign expands Arcs into an epic, multi-session experience where your choices shape the fate of the galaxy. This modular campaign introduces branching narratives, evolving player powers, and a rich tapestry of political intrigue, military conflict, and galactic ambition.
As the empire crumbles, will you seize power, rally the remnants, or exploit the chaos for your own gain? Each session builds on the last, with past victories (and betrayals) echoing into the future. No two campaigns play the same, ensuring endless replayability and emergent storytelling. This is one of my favorite games of all times!

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.

Saturday March 15, 2025 20:30 - 23:00 PDT
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.

A semi-cooperative negotiation game with a possible traitor in the Android (cyberpunk-esque) universe. 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.

Play as a divine being who has sired a demigod in the realm of humankind. The identity of your lineage is known only to you. 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.

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.

BattleTech Learn to Play - Grinder by Catalyst LIMITED
Sunday March 16, 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.

Players will take turns captaining a space ship, rolling a shrinking number of dice as they attempt to travel as far along the celestial track as possible. After each roll, any of the players on the ship can choose to get off, but the further you get, the more points you can earn.

MLEM is relatively lightweight and is a ton of fun for everyone involved. If you like gambling, or if you're the kind of person to shout, "Please, anything but a one!" as you roll the dice, this is a game for you.

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 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.

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!

Dune Imperium: Uprising w/ Bloodlines FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 13:30 - 17:30 PDT
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.

BattleTech Learn to Play - Grinder by Catalyst FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 15:00 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.
