The leaders of Elturel are concerned about the plagueland a few miles outside the city, which has recently begun spewing out even more twisted monstrosities than usual. The paladins have put out a call for adventuring companies to send their best and bravest explorers to venture to the border, if not into the plagueland itself. The expedition's charter is to bring back any information about the horrors within and what might be causing the increase in Spellplague activity. This is a very dangerous assignment, but also one that offers adventurers the chance to make a name for themselves by braving one of the most dangerous and least understood threats in all of Faerun: an active plagueland. The Paladins' Plague is a two-round continuous-play Living Forgotten Realms Battle Interactive set in Elturgard for characters levels 1-17. This adventure is combat-intensive. Players who do not enjoy combat encounters are less likely to enjoy this adventure. All of the characters in the party must be within a single level band (1-4, 4-7, 7-10, 11-14, or 14-17). It is recommended that at least three of the characters be members of the same Adventuring Company. This adventure takes place after the events of the various SPEC2-1 adventures, but playing the adventures in order is not required. This is a Living Forgotten Realms event. Living Forgotten Realms is an RPGA Campaign that runs around the world with tens of thousand of players and judges. Although this ??can?? be played by new players, due to the challenging nature of the event *it is not recommended for first-level PCs*. *RPGA membership is available for free at the convention.* More information about Living Forgotten Realms is available "here":http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Event.aspx?x=dnd/4new/event/lfr Information on creating Living Forgotten Realms characters, download "this":http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/RPGA_CharGenGd.zip 2 8 03/10/2010 1 03/10/2010 03/10/2010 471 Bring your own play minis, maps, dice if you can.

Players attempt to dominate the refining business, and the player who makes the most money wins. Part of this game simulates and economic cycle and players must try to buy low and sell high.

Players move along the edges of the tiles, trying to accumulate the most gold nuggets. The triangular tiles contain special locations such as trade posts, Indian villages and river sources. Players start with limited equipment and must collect resources from the board and pay money to improve the equipment. Better equipment decreases risk but costs nuggets and never completely eliminates risk. Exploitation of local resources will cause players to move farther afield and require better types of transportations (horses, carts, canoes). New players are welcome! We've budgeted plenty of time for rules explanation. 2 6 02/12/2010 1 02/12/2010 03/09/2010 104 Go down into the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff.

I mean, after all, why waste so much time sleeping when you can do that at home? Sometimes the time gets away from us playing hand after hand of Dominion or Liar's Dice; sometimes it's more about companionship as we plod through game after game looking for something to keep us gaming together just that much longer. So, this year, I thought I'd make an official entry of it. My collection is viewable here at "boardgamegeek.":http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/galathonredd?own=1&subtype=boardgame&ff=1 You can also email galathonredd@yahoo.com to make specific requests before the con, so I can try to accomodate. At worst, you can count on the best games I own coming with me: Dominion, Power Grid, Cosmic Encounter, Pandemic, Citadels, etc. What else will I (over)pack for the Con? Why not stop by and find out? Trust me, I'll be glad to play any of it with anyone and everyone, and you'll be glad you skipped a few hours of beauty sleep. 1 50 03/03/2010 1 03/03/2010 03/03/2010 305 Discuss the dual axis law-chaos, good-evil thing, with Neutral in the middle.

All he had to do was make sure a certain container from the Motherland slipped through customs. Alexy is a thorough man and got his cousin, Gennedy Nikolovich, a job at the docks months ago. Gennedy was in the perfect position to pull off the job, but something happened. The freighter Chernobyl Mect was due in over an hour ago and Alexy has heard nothing. Worse, Gennedy isn’t answering his cell. Alexy doesn’t know what’s in the mysterious container, but he knows the rest of his “family” will bleed if he doesn’t get that container to a secure location by 6am tomorrow morning. CTU has gotten word of the job and must stop them before the delivery can be made. A gritty adventure for 6 willing CTU agents. Play will be with Seasoned characters of 25XP; build your own ahead of time or use a provided pre-gen. Contact me if you want to create your own.

SWAT! – Those pesky bugs just keep coming at you! Your job is to SWAT them right when they score the most points. But be quick or your fellow players will SWAT them first. En Garde – In this two-player game, tactics, skill, and a little bit of luck will determine the best fencer. Cards fly back and forth as the fencers attack, and parry-riposte.

The life of a typical kobold is nasty, brutish, and short. They breed like rabbits and have a tendency to fight anything and everything they come into contact with – including each other.

Your objective: throw the plane into chaos! You will hiss, rattle, squeeze, and bite your way through the plane, earning points for each section you throw into chaos. But other snakes will try to stop you, so watch out! There are 4 types of snakes: Cobras, Rattlesnakes, Kingsnakes, and Pythons, each one having special abilities that make them unique. Each player chooses a breed of snake to play and then moves their snakes through the plane, trying to scare the passengers and crew. When all sections of the plane have been thrown into chaos, the game is over and the snakes with the most points win. www.cobrasinthecockpit.com 2 5 02/14/2010 1 02/14/2010 03/09/2010 139 Combine frighteningly generic ingredients like "Sauce" and "Drink."

What begins as a simple cargo run quickly has the heroes involved in a running battle over who gets to control a powerful political organization on the industrial world of Wayland.

The fact is that these creatures walk among us, just as real a threat as muggers and identity thieves and frequently just as dangerous. The only way to protect oneself is to be prepared. And where vampires are concerned, proper preparation can mean the difference between life and undeath. No one knows this better, nor can help prepare you better, than Sister Becky Bischoff. Bringing with her more than 40 years of hands-on vampire-elimination experience, world-renowned hunter and woman-of-the-cloth Sister Becky Bischoff presents a short seminar on the basics of anti-bloodsucker procedure. Trained in the ultra-secret, ultra-elite branch of the Catholic Spiritual Warfare Academy (Nun Section), Sister Becky demonstrated an early ability to bring final rest to these horrifying and sinister creatures of the night. A lifetime of application has honed these skills to peak condition and puts the Sister in a unique position to pass that learning on to you. Drawing on a deep storehouse of professional experiences, personal anecdotes and practical tips, Sister Becky will provide insight and education on all topics vampiric, including proper identification (including how to apologize for mis-stakes), lair tracking, personal conditioning and fitness for the casual hunter, common goofs for first-timers and sure-fire advice on how to handle the Three Forms of Greater Carnage. Attending this brief seminar will ensure that you make the most of your first vampire hunting experience... and live to tell about it! 4 1 03/07/2010 1 03/07/2010 03/08/2010 374 Only Game Library Staff should register for this 'event' 1 5 03/01/2010 1 03/01/2010 03/01/2010 240 Want to play in the CoH event, but don't know how?

Avoid traps and capture cheese with your mice in the *Château Roquefort*. Race your horse over hurdles and around the country track in *Giro Gallopo*. In an hour, you’ll get to play at least 2 of these 3 “euro” games that are my favorites for ages 6 & up. "THE VALLEY OF ADVENTURE":http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25142/tal-der-abenteuer-die-schatzsuche-im-himalaja Search for treasure in the Tibetan Himalayas. I first played this Reiner Knizia game at gamestorm 9 and had to have it. Fun theme (search for treasure in Tibetan Himalayas), unique mechanics (players don’t claim a pawn, but move any color pawn each turn by playing cards of that color, to nab the best treasures), light strategy (use cards wisely to get a pawn in the temple first, and still have cards left of the pawns that moved furthest along the path to score the most points). "CHATEAU ROQUEFORT":http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28089/chateau-roquefort Each player controls colored mice and tries to collect pieces of cheese in Castle. On their turn, players spend action points to reveal corridors in the castle, move their mice around the castle, put new mice into play, or push a tile into play, which changes the maze of cheese pieces underneath and opens traps to catch opponents mice! If two of a single player's mice reach a place with the same kind of cheese showing, the player obtains a piece of this cheese. The first player with 4 different pieces of cheese wins the game. "GIRO GALLOPO":http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/21985/giro-galoppo Giro Galoppo is a horse racing game driven by cards for players 6 years and up. All players receive an identical set of movement cards with values 1-6. Each turn the players simultaneously select one of their cards and show it. The player with the lowest value (and for ties, farther back), moves first. If your horse and rider land on another player's figure, you displace them backward. If your figure's movement would land you on an obstacle, you lose your turn. First & farthest across the finish line wins. 2 6 02/14/2010 1 02/14/2010 03/09/2010 140 Go down into the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run. Admit it. You love it. Munchkin is the dungeon experience . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. This version introduces the Sparkly Good Fairy. Includes Munchkin Base and the Fairy Dust Add-On. This is NOT part of the Munchkin Tournament. 1 50 02/23/2010 1 02/23/2010 03/04/2010 207 Attendees who succeed in stumping the experts will win prizes. 2 4 03/03/2010 1 03/03/2010 03/06/2010 274 Players take the role of the chiefs of nomadic tribes. They travel the desert to find food and build wells and ziggurats. During the three reigns which make up the game, they try to spread the domination of their tribe over Assyria. 2 30 03/04/2010 1 03/04/2010 03/05/2010 341 Come for the GameStorm tradition of Are You A Werewolf? at midnight! 2 5 01/20/2010 1 01/20/2010 03/04/2010 40 Win or die. Of course, winning the Race is not as simple as it sounds. The greater your speed, the faster you travel, but the more difficult it becomes to avoid hazards such as the black holes, space amoebas and other dangers of space, not to mention that each ship is armed with missiles and other deadly weapons. But don’t worry... at the speed of light, no one can hear you scream. The Great Space Race is a board game for 3-6 players (although it can be played with only 2 players, it's much more fun the more participants you have). The game consists of the track (over 6 square feet!), ships, full color counters, rulebook and three separate decks of cards (special events, maneuvers and equipment)! Though large in size (many, many components), the game is quick to learn and play moves at a fast pace. A full three-lap game can last 2-3 hours, but the number of laps can be varied to adjust the game length (one lap typically takes an hour to complete). 2 6 02/12/2010 1 02/12/2010 03/04/2010 107 Go down into the dungeon.

This game uses beautiful prepainted models and a very quick and easy system to recreate battles in the skies of France. This is a great game for all experience levels to play. Come and see why Wings of War is a huge hit in our hobby. 2 6 03/09/2010 1 03/09/2010 03/09/2010 442 Experience with the base Settlers of Catan game preferred.

This will play up to 6 players if 2 players are willing to share the Zombie duties.

To achieve their goal, they must seek out jewels to enchant in order to devise magical energy sources to tap into and increase their power and influence. While the game is scheduled for 3 hours, it may not take that long depending on player experience and # of players. Figure a half hour per player game time. EX: 4 players = about a 2 hour game.

But it will be different for you, of course. Bring your own aspirin. Alhambra has 5 published expansions; each of these expansions contains 4 modules. We will be playing with all 20 modules. Do not try this at home. Experience with the base Alhambra game is required, but not the expansions. GM will not be playing so as to keep things running smoothly, and # players will be capped at 4 to keep it sane. 1 3 02/07/2010 1 02/07/2010 03/04/2010 75 The d6 Shooters is a well-regarded solo print-and-play dice game with an Old West theme. (See "d6 Shooters" on BGG.) I'm developing a multiplayer version of the game and am hosting this playtest. The game itself should take about 30 minutes, plus about 5-10 minutes explanation, but I'm scheduling an hour to encourage feedback and input afterward. 2-5 players. 4 1 02/14/2010 1 02/14/2010 03/09/2010 142 Go down into the dungeon.

Will you try to control the tavern or the fortress? The harbor or the plantation? Knowing where to push for support – and where to back away and let your opponents fight – is the key to victory. It’s a game of bluff, counter-bluff, and surprise. 2 4 01/20/2010 1 01/20/2010 03/04/2010 42 The object of the game is to become the wealthiest of Cleopatra's architects, by constructing the most magnificent and valuable parts of her Palace. Given the intense competition that reigns among the members of the Society of Architects, you will often be tempted to deal with shady characters and trade in materials of dubious origins. While these corrupt practices may indeed allow you to stay a step ahead of the pack, they come at a heavy price: Cursed corruption amulets honoring Sobek, the Crocodile-god, which are stored inside your Pyramid of Corruption, hidden from the preying eyes of your competitors. When Cleopatra finally strolls into her new Palace, at the end of the game, the most corrupt architect (the one with the most amulets) will be seized and offered to her sacred crocodile as a tasty morsel! Only then will the wealthiest architect, from among those still alive, be selected and declared winner of the game. Play time is about an hour or so. Between setup, instruction and play the entire game time will probably take about an hour and a half. So you can figure in a 1/2 hour break at the end between it and any other games you have scheduled yourself for. 2 6 02/12/2010 1 02/12/2010 03/09/2010 109 Go down into the dungeon.

When antipathy prevents an old man from getting an escort to the south, you are his last resort. Can you help him reach the jungles and a possible cure for his ailing adopted daughter? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Akanûl for characters levels 1-4. This is a Living Forgotten Realms event. Living Forgotten Realms is an RPGA Campaign that runs around the world with tens of thousand of players and judges. This event is open to new players and is a great chance to experience D&D4E, RPGA play, and the Living Forgotten Realms campaign. *RPGA membership is available for free at the convention.* More information about Living Forgotten Realms is available "here":http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Event.aspx?x=dnd/4new/event/lfr Information on creating Living Forgotten Realms characters, download "this":http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/RPGA_CharGenGd.zip 4 1 03/07/2010 1 03/07/2010 03/08/2010 377 Only Game Library Staff should register for this 'event' 2 20 03/09/2010 1 03/09/2010 03/09/2010 444 Trading of used (non-shrink-wrapped) games.

They probably deserve it (they are smugglers and such, after all). They are not alone and have reasons to break out as quickly as possible. In this sci-fi, non-boffer LARP, heavily influenced and reflective of Firefly and Serenity, (for 11-19 players) you will be playing a member of the Albatross crew, one of the other colorful prisoners, or one of the two guards. Many of the costumes and props will be provided. Check the sign up sheet in the LARP area for the character list (come early to have the best chance to get your choice!). 4 24 02/07/2010 1 02/07/2010 03/10/2010 76 "PANDEMIC - BBG":http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic "On The Brink - BGG":http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40849/pandemic-on-the-brink You are specialists at the CDC/Atlanta where you watch several virulent diseases break out simultaneously all over the world. The team mission is to prevent a world-wide pandemic outbreak, treating hotspots while researching cures for each of the four plagues before they get out of hand. Players must plan their strategy to mesh their specialist's strengths before the diseases overwhelm the world. For example, the Operations Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5. But the diseases are breaking out fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while developing cures. If disease spreads uncontrolled, the players all lose. If they can cure all four diseases, they win. The board shows earth with some big population centres. On each turn a player can use four actions to travel, cure, discover and build. Cards are used for this but the deck also contains Epidemics... The *"On The Brink"* expansion includes additional event & role cards and optional game challenges to increase the difficulty, such as the Virulent Strain challenge, the Mutation challenge, and the Bio-Terrorist challenge. *Virulent Strain challenge*: makes one disease become particularly deadly in unpredictable ways. *Mutation Challenge*: adds a fifth (purple) disease that behaves differently than the original four. *Bio-Terrorist Challenge*: pits one player against the others. TOURNAMENT: Will include a 10 minute teaching session (new players encouraged), 3 rounds (Basic Game, Virulent Strain, Mutation Challenge) and a final game with the last round winners taking on co-designer Tom Lehmann who will play the Bio-Terrorist! As a cooperative game, players will gain victory points each round as determined by tournament scoring system (game win [and/or # of diseases cured] with least: outbreaks, disease cubes on board & player cards drawn.) Players will play 3 rounds, each with new co-teammates. At the end of the rounds, the winners will have the most victory points. *Prizes!!!!!* Win a copy of *Pandemic* from Guardian Games! or a copy of *On The Brink* from Z-Man Games! or a *pandemic survival kit including a $25 gift certificate* from Guardian Games! or signed pandemic cards from Tom Lehmann & Matt Leacock and each Round a Middle Kingdom Random Prize from Guardian Games will be awarded. 4 3 02/14/2010 1 02/14/2010 03/06/2010 143 Its the US, UK, and ANZAC allied forces vs. the Japanese in a battle to determine the fate of the Pacific.

Easier than it sounds, but this scenario is intended for those familiar with the game. Olympia faces its greatest challenge yet - just how good ARE the Ollies, anyway? Full ballistics, full rules. The will be some hand-holding for players who know the system but not the more advanced aspects, but there is a STRONG learning curve for those who've never played. 4 7 03/10/2010 1 03/10/2010 03/10/2010 478 The all volunteer law enforcement special weapons and tactics service of the Tri-Cities Washington is rarely ever called into service… this isn’t a good day… We’ll be running a Fudge/Fate game, showing off one of the older “indie” game engines. New comers to Fudge are encouraged to join in this run, fast, and rules lite game of tactics. And “old timer” Fudge/Fate enthusiasts are also encouraged to join us for some weird dice mayhem. Characters will be made up on the spot, and GM provides everything you need to play. 2 5 03/05/2010 1 03/05/2010 03/06/2010 344 First the players choose a driver from among six armed and dangerous psychopaths. They hop aboard futuristic, armoured and over-equipped vehicles. And the race begins. The goal is to be the first across the finish line, as only first place counts. No matter the game mode used, Arcade or Overdrive, the race is always a deadly obstacle course around a track made of ten reversible tiles, which can be assembled to build many different racetracks. Fire your engines, buckle your helmet, and be ready for the armed racing game! Rush N’Crush races cause the crowd’s hearts to race and even provokes war between the different sponsors. There are many heavily armored racecars that traverse the high speed tracks. However, the drivers play a more important role than the racecars themselves. These speedsters would probably have been able to become great men and women if they had not instead chosen to risk their lives on such deadly racetracks. The exhilaration of speed, the clamor of the crowd, wealth, and fame have molded fascinating beings whose fate is to die behind the wheel of their car…much to the delight of their fans! http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46782/rush-n-crush 2 4 03/08/2010 1 03/08/2010 03/09/2010 411 Secretly bid against your opponents to gain the support of the people, win territory . . . and gather more Gold, Blackmail, and Force for the next round of bidding! Will you try to control the tavern or the fortress? The harbor or the plantation? Knowing where to push for support – and where to back away and let your opponents fight – is the key to victory.

They devastated our lands, they ravaged our earth. They slew without mercy and they died without tears when our germs struck them down and toppled their metal machines over the course of the longest weeks in the history of our world. However, from their corpses we found a gift, the present of Aetherium, which has forever changed the course of our destiny. Fast Forward: 1936. You are one of the Ravaged, a person altered by the mysterious powers of Aetherium. How that came about is up to you. No one knows how many Ravaged exist. Most try to keep a low profile. Most try to get by. You, on the other hand, have long felt a greater purpose, a greater destiny, was in store for you. That destiny begins today. The adventure begins in the Rainbow Room, a swanky nightclub on the 65th floor of the RCA Building in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Pre-gen characters will be provided. Bring dice. Contact me if you want to create your own character based on the Ravaged Earth rulebook. 2 6 02/12/2010 1 02/12/2010 03/09/2010 110 Go down into the dungeon. Kill everything you meet.

Do you think the main problem with Return of the Jedi was that the space battle wasn't big enough? Have we got a game for you! Starmada is the universal game of starship combat. There are optional rules to simulate anything you can think of, but for this battle, we'd rather have _more ships_, so we're going to use only the basic rules, which are available for free online: http://www.mj12games.com/starmada/SAEdemo.pdf 1 10 03/09/2010 1 03/09/2010 03/10/2010 445 This game is rather like Apples to Apples. Players are given and assignment and must solve it using the unstable element they were given. This can be anything from Post-it notes to lawn gnomes. Each student presents their solution to the judge, who then awards the assignment. At the end of the game, the person with the most assignments wins! 2 5 01/15/2010 1 01/15/2010 03/06/2010 10 Valdora, a valley of unimaginable riches. Drawn by the lure of gold, silver and precious jewels, adventurers choose commissions and provisions, then bring valuable gems back to their patrons, attracting craftsmen and workshops.

Prospectors are pouring in, some finding gold, some finding something else. The news has also attracted characters of a less savory type. There will be towns folks, miners, magic users, and bandits to play during this Deadlands inspired western setting. The game will be using the Card based system that Legend of the Five Rings utilizes. The main setting will be the town saloon, but there will be other locations to visit as well. 1 4 02/20/2010 1 02/20/2010 03/05/2010 178 Fragor's 2008 Essen release is set in the snowy world of the Arctic Circle, where brave sledders compete in a test of skill and endurance. Action is fast and furious and not all sleds may make it to the finish. Huskies only have one setting and that is full speed! Hang on to your furs, the reins, your sled and anything else you can get hold of………. The game contains modular track pieces which can be fitted together to form different courses. Players have their own Dog Decks which they draw from and play onto their sled mat. Movement is rarely in a straight line as the sled may drift left or right. Losing control or speeding into a corner results in Dent cards being acquired which will limit a player's hand size. 4 1 03/07/2010 1 03/07/2010 03/08/2010 379 Only Game Library Staff should register for this 'event' 5 3 03/02/2010 1 03/02/2010 03/06/2010 245 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/19777/indonesia 1 50 03/09/2010 1 03/09/2010 03/10/2010 446 Several Industry professionals and designer colleagues will discuss best practices on Prototype building including cards, boards, figures, dice, rules, etc 1 6 01/15/2010 1 01/15/2010 03/06/2010 11 Think Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom.

Takes cleverness, risk taking & luck to win. Fast paced, nerve-racking and strongly thematic. A fun and clever middle weight boardgame.

Each turn, players are secretly slipping into the role of “Jewelers” trying to fill the drawers of the box with gems, “Smugglers” looking to sell their hot merchandize, “Thieves” keen on plundering the sparkling jewels in the drawers, and “Detectives” who confiscate the Thieves' stolen jewels. There’s an interesting double guessing aspect in selecting one’s character. The box is made of three levels, with a drawer on each side. Half of the drawers have “secret” compartments for the most valuable jewels. Each drawer also has two compartments on each side of it, thus making it possible to place a jewel in the drawer no matter which way it is flipped, but also causes you to lose a jewel if one drops out underneath. Each level of the box rotates: it is held together with four small magnets on each level, this allows the box to swivel and snap into position. Bruno Faidutti says.... Since every turn, players rotate the box stories, and sometimes turn the whole box upside down; it soon becomes hard to track every gem. But don’t be daunted by the reviews saying heavy memory is required, because it just isn’t. The best players don’t try to memorize every jewel and drawer, but instead concentrate on two or three drawers, and use some intuition (say “statistics” if you prefer). I wouldn’t recommend it for deep strategy gamers or anyone that isn’t up for a lighthearted game with simple yet sophisticated game play. Master Thieves is a high quality game with a lot of replay value. 3 4 02/14/2010 1 02/14/2010 03/05/2010 145 Lokomotive Werks is an economic game where players purchase the ability to produce engines, pay workers to produce them, and sell to the volatile, dice-driven market. The game is best known for its unique market mechanism in which the demand for older train models dries up, and often at a rapid pace as new technology is implemented. No experience required, the game will be taught to those needing it. The game runs 2-2.5 hours, with 30 minutes allowed for rules explanation. 4 30 02/24/2010 1 02/24/2010 03/02/2010 212 This game will be a based off of the Tales From the Floating Vagabond tabletop rpg (created in 1991 by Lee Garvin) and converted into a LARP format. The game starts as you open a normal door in your own world / universe / plane only to end up in a bar called The Floating Vagabond. All manners of creatures are here, like humans, elves, dogmen and disgustingly cute furry things (just to name a few!) This tongue-in-cheek game lets you use unusual super powers like "Belching for Effect", "Projectile Vomiting", "Swing Nasty Pointy Thing" and much, much more! Characters are pregenerated and a copy will be provided to all interested. Makeup and some costuming provided.

A Vasco da Gama tile states a number; everything above this number is free of charge, anything below will have to be paid for, so players will take this into account when taking numbered discs. When all players have placed four discs, a modifier to this 'activation number' is shown, and discs are worked by number. In the crew area players may hire crew and a captain, but this costs money. Each round there is a window of ships. The number on the left is the navigation strength, the number on the right is the required amount of different crew. Players choose a ship, pay for the crew and turn the tile to its other side - with a captain on top. In the navigation area, a player takes his ship and places it in a row of his choice, but he has to take care not to exceed the navigation strength of the ship. The game lasts five rounds, after which the player with the most points has won. 4 64 02/20/2010 1 02/20/2010 03/02/2010 179 GameStorm's Magic-stravaganza kicks off with this tournament for the most popular casual-play format, Commander (formerly Elder Dragon Highlander).

Players are given and assignment and must solve it using the unstable element they were given. This can be anything from Post-it notes to lawn gnomes. Each student presents their solution to the judge, who then awards the assignment. At the end of the game, the person with the most assignments wins! 2 4 02/14/2010 1 02/14/2010 03/05/2010 147 The second game in Winsome's Historic Railroads System (the first being Wabash Cannonball/Chicago Express), this one introduces an innovate player order mechanism. It features 8 different rail companies, each with its own special characteristic. No experience required, the game will be taught to those needing it. The game runs 1.5 hours, with 30 minutes allowed for rules explanation. 4 6 02/25/2010 1 02/25/2010 03/08/2010 214 Once upon a time there was a place where wonder and terror were forever bound – a place of nightmares and fairy tales – a world called Grimm. You are a child from another world trapped in this land of marvels and monsters. All you seek is a way to go home. How long did you wander through the Great and Awful Forest before you finally found the village of Chapencross? The townsfolk were kind enough to take you in, provide you shelter and food. All they ask in return is help with the simplest of errands. All they need is help delivering this basket of goodies... Characters and goodies will be provided; rules will be taught 2 6 03/08/2010 1 03/08/2010 03/09/2010 415 Go down into the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run. Admit it. You love it. Munchkin is the dungeon experience . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. All varieties will be available. This is NOT part of the Munchkin Tournament. 2 5 03/03/2010 1 03/03/2010 03/06/2010 281 Each player tries to be Caesar and then works to prove he is indeed Caesar by collecting fame points. The challenge is to intelligently allocate your eight rolled dice among the five buildings to acquire the fame you need to win the game. Clever Caesar would use these resources to conquer new provinces and assign suitable patricians to them, adding to his already enormous fame. Can you do the same? You will also need to show diplomacy in the senate and maybe visit the temple for some luck from Fortuna to win. 3 5 02/13/2010 1 02/13/2010 03/03/2010 114 The game lasts a number of rounds, with each round consisting of a directors' meeting, followed by 4-7 turns. At the meeting, the "company chairman" is replaced (the next token in line moves up) and the "division heads" are named (by seeing who has the majority in each column of placed cubes). Chairmen and heads get salary bonuses and a card detailing a single advantage for the cardholder. The player who's the "communications" head then secretly looks at the Event cards and determines in which order they will be played (and so how many turns will be in the current round). Other heads' cards will let them pay less for stocks, for example, or place or remove bits. After each event card is revealed, players select one action to perform, such as "hiring and relocating employees" (placing or moving cubes), resigning as a department head, using an advantage card, or bribing players for their advantage cards. These actions result in points on the scoring tracks and sometimes money (which is only used for bribery and buying blocks of stock). A bribed card has more power than an earned one, giving incentive to accept bribes (the card is less useful or even useless to the original owner, depending on the workers' happiness scale). In addition to bribery getting you a power you want, it also moves you up the corruption track. A player who rejects a bribe, however, loses one cube on the majority columns. It's not a business simulation, and gameplay isn't as dastardly as the theme implies. The event cards provide most of the humor. (The card may read that you have failed to fix the breakroom game table, or vacations were canceled, so worker satisfaction goes down, which is what you want). The feel of rising through the ranks (getting more points) is there, and there are many things to attempt to excel in, by doing various business-related (at least in name) actions. Efficient manipulating of your opportunities will win you victory points and, if you gain four, the game. 4 64 02/21/2010 1 02/21/2010 03/09/2010 181 Sanctioned Zendikar/WorldWake booster draft tournament.

Fun family game. 5 5 02/13/2010 1 02/13/2010 03/08/2010 115 <b>ROMAN CHILDREN TREMBLE</b> in their beds as their mothers tell them stories of Medusa, the Hundred-Handed Ones, and the War of the Titans. They pray that the Fates have woven a long skein for them, free from encounters with the Minotaur and Cerberus. Little do they know that things more horrible than the creatures of myth and legend inhabit the world. A dark god stalks the streets of Rome stealing the souls of the rich and the poor, the young and the old, to populate his empire on the other side of the wall of sleep. Thousands of miles away, on the coast of a freshly invaded island, Roman centurions huddle around campfires entertaining themselves with dice and ghost stories. They trust their fortifications to keep the barbarians at bay. But the barbarians are the least of their concerns. Outside the ramparts, small shapes scuttle through the darkness, looking for new hosts. In the midst of the largest sea the world knows, an Egyptian merchant scans the horizon looking for land—and safety. Pirates prowl the sea, avoiding the Roman navy and preying on merchant vessels. The merchant’s men are well-armed to fend off any pirates, but he won’t relax until the coast is in sight. He doesn’t notice the forms swirling under the waves, reaching up with their claws to pull the boat down. His men are ill-prepared to fight them. Greek scholars in Athens are ecstatic when they uncover scrolls relating to an African god from the deepest interior of that dark continent. They’re eager to read all they can in the cause of science. Their education hasn’t prepared them for the fact that the god is already in Athens, and they fail to notice that the city hasn’t changed for hundreds of years. Young women scurry through the streets of Herculaneum to the Temple of Vesta, shunning the advances of lecherous old men and soldiers who’ve returned from the front looking to spend their coin. Only these women know that their chastity protects the world from an unspeakable horror. Should they fail in their mission, all of Rome is doomed to fall under a depraved god’s whim. Sweat and grime cover a young Persian woman as she pulls her sword out of yet another monster that’s risen from the sand. As she glances around, several more unbury themselves and charge toward her. She casts one last look over her shoulder to make sure the families that were ambushed have escaped before she raises her sword and charges the monsters, her battle cry echoing over the dunes. This is the world of Cthulhu Invictus, horror roleplaying in the first century CE, the time of the Roman Empire. The game will be using pregenerated characters. Beginners welcome. 4 64 02/21/2010 1 02/21/2010 03/02/2010 182 Sanctioned Sealed Deck Tournament featuring 2010, Zendikar and Worldwake. Entry Fee TBA, payed to TO onsite.

For the next three days the greatest spectacle of the Hyborian age unfolds -- the great gladiatorial games of king Mitradates the Fourth called the Mad. To the victor -- king's ransom and freedom. To the losers -- the mercy of a mad tyrant. Have you cleverness, cunning and ruthlessness to survive the games or will you be just another victim during these three days of death?

The prevailing maxim of these tumultuous times is emerging: ‘Take everything you can!’ 2 5 01/26/2010 1 01/26/2010 03/07/2010 49 Designed by Reiner Knizia, Ra is a fantastic auction game with an egyptian theme. Each player gets 3 bid tokens of varying value. Over the course of the game players bid on growing sets of tokens to build their score. But the sets are randomly generated, and the winning bid leaves his money token for the next winner. Score is based upon the collection of different sets. This is a eurogame which is enjoyed by people who like to juggle, or try to wrestle several data points into favorable submission. 2 6 02/13/2010 1 02/13/2010 03/09/2010 116 Go down into the dungeon.

However, these longer games also could mean that they don't get played at regular gaming sessions as frequently.

There have been rumors of a ring of polished ghost rock circulating, and none of them good. Perhaps old man Kenaghy knows something, he's only a little older than dirt.

Will the hunt leader make good on his boast, or will the doomers be right? Every player decides secretly to help . . . or to let it fail. 3 8 02/21/2010 1 02/21/2010 03/07/2010 184 Up to 8 players compete to see who (if any) can destroy the evil and his minions that are plagueing the town of Shadowbrook at the dawn of the 19th century.

A living nightmare erupts as the once peaceful community is overrun with the restless dead…scratching and clawing their way to the surface with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Now only a handful of unlikely Heroes are left, banding together to fight for their very lives. On a night that never ends, the only thing worse than death… is becoming infected. Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game is a fast-paced game of brain-eating Zombies, small town Heroes, and horror movie action. Players take on the role of either the Heroes, working together to make it through the night; or the Zombies, unending waves of undead spreading over the town like a plague. Featuring a modular board, eight Heroes to choose from, and several different Scenarios to play that drastically change the game, Last Night on Earth is designed to create a cinematic feel as the story and game unfolds. So put down that popcorn, grab your shotgun, and hide your brain; the Zombies are coming and this could be your Last Night on Earth!"</i> <br> 2-6 players<br>beginners welcome.<br>Official game info: http://www.flyingfrog.net/lastnightonearth/<br> Rules at: http://www.flyingfrog.net/lastnightonearth/pdf/LNOE_Rulebook_web.pdf 2 6 02/13/2010 1 02/13/2010 03/04/2010 118 Go down into the dungeon.

They hop aboard futuristic, armoured and over-equipped vehicles. And the race begins. The goal is to be the first across the finish line, as only first place counts. No matter the game mode used, Arcade or Overdrive, the race is always a deadly obstacle course around a track made of ten reversible tiles, which can be assembled to build many different racetracks. Fire your engines, buckle your helmet, and be ready for the armed racing game! Rush N’Crush races cause the crowd’s hearts to race and even provokes war between the different sponsors. There are many heavily armored racecars that traverse the high speed tracks. However, the drivers play a more important role than the racecars themselves. These speedsters would probably have been able to become great men and women if they had not instead chosen to risk their lives on such deadly racetracks. The exhilaration of speed, the clamor of the crowd, wealth, and fame have molded fascinating beings whose fate is to die behind the wheel of their car…much to the delight of their fans! http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46782/rush-n-crush 2 4 03/08/2010 1 03/08/2010 03/09/2010 422 When the stars are right, the Great Old Ones will return.

I mean, after all, why waste so much time sleeping when you can do that at home? Sometimes the time gets away from us playing hand after hand of Dominion or Liar’s Dice; sometimes it’s more about companionship as we plod through game after game looking for something to keep us gaming together just that much longer. So, this year, I thought I’d make an official entry of it. My collection is viewable here at "boardgamegeek": http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/galathonredd . You can also email galathonredd@yahoo.com to make specific requests before the con, so I can try to accommodate everyone. At worst, you can count on the best games I own coming with me: Dominion, Power Grid, Cosmic Encounter, Pandemic, Citadels, etc. What else will I (over)pack for the Con? Why not stop by and find out? Trust me, I’ll be glad to play any of it with anyone and everyone, and you’ll be glad you skipped a few hours of beauty sleep. 4 6 03/03/2010 1 03/03/2010 03/05/2010 262 A RPGA Living Forgotten Realms adventure using D&D 4th Edition rules.

Now blasted wastelands, radioactive ruins, and toxic wreckage cover the earth. When the bombs came down they left thick ashen clouds that blot out the sun. Of course, now the unfiltered light of day can sear flesh from bone. Acid rain, sand storms, and deadly cold snaps all contend to slay the last remnants of humanity. Beyond the environment there are the resilient mutant beasts that still roam the wastes looking for any prey they can, and the risen dead hungry for the flesh of the living. Worst of all is the lack of food and clean water, starving out even those with the fortitude to survive the myriad other hazards of the wasted world. Those who manage to survive band together into distinct factions each with their own methods of attempting to survive in this harsh and deadly environment. Freakish and mutated, the Scraps attempt to eke out survival amidst the ruins and wreckage of the old world. Xenophobic and isolationist, the Haves wall themselves up in the few intact compounds, vaults and bunkers, sending out scouting and raiding parties for the resources they need to keep going. The vicious and amoral Takers roam the wastes pillaging and stealing from those weaker than themselves. Finally, there are the Zeds, those of the risen dead who retain a semblance of their former intellect. *The Scenario: A Very Long Day* It is a bright sunny day, much to your dismay. Full sun all day means you can't leave the trading post. The trading post is generally pretty peaceful, there is an old law enforcement drone that puts a quick stop to any violence that breaks out, so things should stay quiet. Unless the water starts to run out... 4 6 03/08/2010 1 03/08/2010 03/09/2010 430 Tom Lehman, our Board Game Guest of Honor is a long time 18xx designer.

An innumerable hoard of ravaging, fearsome beasts that are extremely tasty when flame-broiled and served with a secret sauce. Fergulbarq was of course an utter madman and an outrageous liar (except for the part about flame-broiled Kobolds -- Yum!) Honestly, Kobolds are a completely insignificant race of tiny, dog-like humanoids with few redeeming qualities. Kobolds are weak, stupid, slovenly, cannibalistic little buggers that lead brutal, short and silly little lives. They are under two feet tall, furry, live in caves, and worship VOR, the big angry god. __Kobolds are also utterly fearless, insomuch that they lack any sense of self-preservation.__ *Scenario* As a Kobold, some of the things you do best include enlisting as cannon-fodder for evil armies, acting as lackeys for power-mad (and very cheap) warlocks, dying, and feeding things. When you’re not running about doing those things, you are left to do the bidding of King Torg (All Hail King Torg!) It is the King’s bidding that brought you here, into this new old dungeon, rumored to have been created by the Damn Master, who you suppose is a god or something. The big people (i.e. just about everyone who isn’t a kobold) have been talking about there being treasure. Unfortunately it’s not just your clan down here, there are more. You think four total. And all of you have fallen down the same hole into the same room… __More information can be found on the GameStorm forums, under LARP.__ 2 5 02/12/2010 1 02/12/2010 03/07/2010 96 Your objective is to sail the islands off Pirate's Cove and become the most famed pirate the world has ever seen (well, this year, at least)! To do so, you will in turn need to navigate shrewdly, fight recklessly and plunder mercilessly. You will gain fame by winning fights, burying gold and treasure, and bragging about your exploits at the Tavern. At the end of twelve months (game turns), the pirate with the most fame will be declared winner of the game and most fearsome Pirate of the High Seas! The islands around Pirate's Cove hide countless riches... Once captured, each brings you various spoils during the Plunder and Upgrade phases. 5 6 02/15/2010 1 02/15/2010 03/09/2010 163 Welcome to the world of Neverwhen.

Better equipment decreases risk but costs nuggets and never completely eliminates risk. Exploitation of local resources will cause players to move farther afield and require better types of transportations (horses, carts, canoes). New players are welcome!
