Includes expansions

Survive is a cutthroat game where players seek to evacuate their pieces from an island that is breaking up, while remembering where their highest-valued pieces are located to maximize their score.

An island made up of 40 hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles are removed from the board). Each player controls ten people (valued from 1 to 6) that they try and move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island finally blows up. Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must avoid sea serpents, whales and sharks on their way to safety.

One computer runs the simulation and the main screen, while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Science, Engineering, and Weapon Control. Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room (bridge) , and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle and tells everyone what to do.

IceCool - Kids' Track
Limited Capacity seats available
The lunch break is almost there and all of the young penguins would finally get the fish they’ve been craving. However, some rascals think they are quick enough to snatch some of the fish before the lunch break starts, but they have forgotten one thing – the Hall Monitor! Each school day one of the penguins is designated to watch over the school, and this is his moment to shine – for each rascal penguin he catches he would get additional fish!

A fun run takes place – the rascals are running everywhere and trying to snatch some fish on their way, but the Hall Monitor is trying to catch each and one of them to have some order in the school. Who will be more successful?

ICECOOL is a flicking game in which each round one of the players takes the role of the Hall Monitor (also called "the Catcher") – his aim will be to catch each other penguin and get points for that. The others (also known as "Runners") will try to run through several doors, thus gaining fish (that give them points) on their way. When either the Hall Monitor has caught each other penguin once or any of the others has gone through all 3 doors that have fish on them, the round is over. Each player will take the role of the Hall Monitor once and at the end of the game the winner will be the one with the most points on their fish cards.

The penguins can be flicked in a straight line, make curves and even jump over the walls! Each player will have to use the best of their skills in order to get the most points in this fun and exciting game. It's not just cool, it's ICECOOL!

Power Grid
Limited Capacity seats available
Feedback Survey
The objective of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities.

However, as plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.

Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes.

GIANT Kingdom Builder
Limited Capacity seats available
Feedback Survey
It's Kingdom Builder, but GIANT!

In Kingdom Builder, the players create their own kingdoms by skillfully building their settlements, aiming to earn the most gold at the end of the game. Nine different kinds of terrain are on the variable game board, including locations and castles. During his turn, a player plays his terrain card and builds three settlements on three hexes of this kind. If possible, a new settlement must be built next to one of that player’s existing settlements. When building next to a location, the player may seize an extra action tile that he may use from his next turn on. These extra actions allow extraordinary actions such as moving your settlements.

By building next to a castle, the player will earn gold at the end of the game, but the most gold will be earned by meeting the conditions of the three Kingdom Builder cards; these three cards (from a total of ten in the game) specify the conditions that must be met in order to earn the much-desired gold, such as earning gold for your settlements built next to water hexes or having the majority of settlements in a sector of the board. Each game, players will use a random set of Kingdom Builder cards (3 of 10), special actions (4 of 8), and terrain sectors to build the map (4 of 8), ensuring you won't play the same game twice!

During each season's combat, invader cards are revealed, with a randomized number of troops and compass direction of attack. Only the wealthiest of castles will draw the attention of larger forces and their siege weapons. You must repair your city and recruit and arm your troops quickly to stand any chance. The winner is the lord or lady who has best preserved their fiefdom and saved up the most gold.

Limited Capacity seats available
Imagine being the Captain of your own star ship. Come join us with your crew and fly around the galaxy in a star ship, killing bad guys, being amazed by space dragons, and avoiding black holes! Operate the ship together, and defend the sector from evil aliens.

Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the main screen, while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Science, Engineering, and Weapon Control. Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room (bridge) , and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle and tells everyone what to do.

GIANT Carcassonne
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Feedback Survey
It's Carcassonne, but GIANT! Giant tiles, giant meeples, giant fun!

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner. During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: "Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?" or "Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.

Fortune & Glory
Limited Capacity seats available
Feedback Survey
It is the late 1930s, and the world is in turmoil. Humanity is on the brink of war as imperialist nations in the Far East and Europe work aggressively to expand their domination. The Nazis have taken control of Germany and now spread darkness across the globe in their hunt for powerful occult artifacts that can give them the upper hand in the days to come. But the spirit of adventure and freedom won't be stamped out so easily.

Heroic adventurers from around the world answer the call, racing against time to hunt down ancient artifacts, explore deadly temples, and fight back the powers of darkness from engulfing the world in flames. It is a race of good versus evil, and only a cunning and agile explorer can claim the ultimate prize of... Fortune and Glory!

Fortune and Glory: The Cliffhanger Game is a fast-paced game of high adventure, vile villains, edge-of-your-seat danger, and cliffhanger pulp movie action. Players take on the role of a treasure hunter, traveling the globe in search of ancient artifacts and fending off danger and villains at every turn in a quest for the ultimate reward of fortune and glory!

Featuring a beautifully rendered adventure map of the world as the game board, eight pulp adventure heroes to choose from (such as Jake Zane the Flying Ace, Li Mei Chen the Night Club Singer and Martial Artist, or Dr. Zhukov Master of Science), an army of ruthless villains and thugs (including the Chicago Mob and the dreaded occult-hunting Nazis), ancient Mayan temples to explore with a zeppelin hovering overhead, a wealth of coins to horde as heroes collect fortune and glory throughout the game, and a unique mechanism of dangers to overcome and the classic cliffhanger moments of suspense that can result. Fortune and Glory is designed to create a pulp serial cinematic feel as the story and game unfold.

So strap on your adventure boots and goggles, fire up the engines on the seaplane, and grab some extra ammo for your revolver...the Nazis already have a head

A Dangerous Venture (Legends of Kralis Play with Creator)
Limited Capacity seats available
The past 3 years you have been working for a void raiding ship.  You have learned a lot, made a name for yourself and have make a small profit but you want in on the bigger action.   You are excited by a communication you received from the void pirate ship The Revenge.  The Revenge is captained by the notorious void pirate Roberts the Dread.   Maybe this is your time for a real score.
 
You leave the relative comfort of your smaller raiding ship and head to the secret meeting location.   You are the only one from you crew that got the invite.  Some cheer you on, others want to stab you in the back and take your place.  You try to image what bounty is in store for you.  Yes it will have risks, but with great risk comes great booty.
 
When you got to the secret meeting you vaguely recognize some of the others.  They are people who have made a name for themselves as well.  In walks Yelsew The Eel, first mate of Roberts.   “Maties, I be having a very dangerous venture for you.”
 
Join a group of dirty rotten pirates as they are sent on a mission that is for sure to be dastardly. 
There is one catch, not everybody is who they seem to be.  Players will draw at random a secret true personality.  There will be at least a dozen to choose from so each time the session is run the game will be different.  Your motivates may be to:
·         Accomplish the mission at all costs.
·         Have your own side mission.
·         Hunting down a pirate that may be in the crew and you will terminate them.
·         Have a reason to cause the mission to fail.
Enjoy a back stabbing good time.

Call of Cthulhu: Grace Under Pressure
Limited Capacity seats available
Welcome to the Bottom of the World. You are on the sea floor, 1500 feet below the surface. Around you, there is only cold and dark. The sun's caressing rays bring nothing to this world. The pressure here is over 600 pounds per square inch. This is a lethal place. There must be caution in every move you make, or the sea will claim your body and your soul. You and your companions are aboard the RSV Wallaby, a prototype research vessel of your own design. This is its maiden voyage; the attention of the world is upon you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And in the hours to come you will die, unless you can master the fine art of Grace Under Pressure.

Operation Republic Legacy Part 1 - Tactical Insertion
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
After the Battle of Yavin, Rebel fervor has exploded across the Galaxy and one large rebel cell, the Aqua Strike Group, has decided to launch a long-planned assault on the Imperial Instillation occupying the world of Lauros Prime. You, are Omicron Squad a member of Aqua Strike Group's 1st Spec-Ops Platoon, and the rebel cells principle Special Forces Recon team.

As part of the Strike Group's overall Invasion Plan, Alliance High Command has sent a team of Intelligence Agents to extract sensitive imperial data using the attack as a distraction. Your squad has been tasked with an initial undercover insertion into the enemy facility. You have 2 primary objectives, first you must destroy or otherwise sabotage the facility's primary anti-air cannons and its tie fighter deployment capabilities so they cannot be used against the invasion force. Second you need to escort the Alliance's operatives to their objective and then assist in extracting them afterwards.

This is the first of a 3-part adventure, each session can be joined and played individually however to experience the full story I highly encourage attending all 3 sessions. This is a very combat heavy game, though there will be plenty of opportunities for roleplaying throughout, to be successful in your missions you will need to approach tactical challenge with some level of strategy. This strategy will begin with your character selection, a fairly wide selection of pre-generated characters will be provided, and it will be up to the table to assemble a squad that they think will be best suited to the task.

Although the nation managed to evacuate many civilians, there are still refugees, Pathfinders, and irreplaceable cultural treasures trapped in this undead-ridden realm known as the Gravelands. The PCs are part of the Society's efforts to infiltrate these dangerous lands, rescue the Pathfinders missing in action, and recover what historical texts and treasures they can. Just be quick! Every hour behind enemy lines increases the chance a nearby army learns of the PCs' mission.

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.

Within their vaults the Pathfinder Society has located a rare and mysterious star gun from the distant shores of Arcadia that, while broken, still holds a deep power within it. In order to ensure that past wrongs are made right, the Society must arrange for travel within the borders of Arcadia to repair and return the star gun to its rightful home, but to do so they must first convince the council of Segada to allow a team of Pathfinders entry.

A junior team of agents is dispatched to plead their case to the councilmembers, hopefully securing friends and allies of the Society for future exploration and contact. However, a villain lies in wait, aware of the power the agents are concealing and plotting for the exact moment to strike and catch them off guard.

Limited Capacity seats available
The game consists of tiles with twisting lines on them, a 6x6 grid on which to lay these tiles and a token for each player. Each player has a hand of tiles. On your turn you do two things: place a tile from your hand onto the board next to your token and move your token as far as it can go along the line it is currently on, until it is stopped by an empty space with no tile in (yet), the edge of the board or colliding with another player's token. If your token reaches the edge of the board or collides with another player's token, you are out of the game. The aim of the game is to be the last player left with a token on the board. Strategy therefore consists of trying to drive your opponents either into each other or off the board whilst extending your own route in directions that will make it difficult for your opponents to do the same.

Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Feedback Survey
Atlantis Rising is a co-operative worker placement game in which you must work together with up to six other players to deploy citizens across your homeland, gathering resources in order to build a cosmic gate that can save your people. Workers placed close to the shoreline are more rewarding, but are more likely to be flooded and the actions lost.

Every turn, each player draws a misfortune card that will flood certain locations along the ever-shrinking Atlantis shoreline, or may otherwise work to undermine your efforts to save your people. So you must race to gather the necessary resources to build and power the gate, before the island disappears beneath the waves forever.

Deal with the Devil
Limited Capacity seats available
Feedback Survey
Deal with the Devil is a deeply thematic competitive Eurogame set in a fantasy medieval era. Each of the four players takes on a secret role of a mortal, a cultist, or even the Devil. Due to the asymmetrical roles, players experience the same game but with different game goals every play.

During the blind trading phase, players can offer their resources in exchange for money from another player. The Devil will tempt mortals with goods for a piece of their soul, while the cultist's nature is to sell their soul easily. Only the accompanying app knows who is trading with whom.

But beware! Showing off how well you are doing can attract unwelcome attention and the suspicion of other players. It also may pique the interest of the Inquisition, which is eager to punish those who cannot prove their souls remain intact.

There are many dynamic strategies to experiment with across each playing. Will you sell pieces of your soul early on to boost your city-building prowess at the risk of future punishment from the Inquisition? Or will you carefully manage loan and debt repayment while waiting for others to inadvertently reveal their nefarious nature? Every choice has a consequence, and each role has its own unique strategic approach to explore.

The 2023 Arizona State SHOBU Championship
Limited Capacity seats available
A beautifully crafted 2-player abstract strategy game from Smirk & Laughter. Your turn is in two parts. First, a player may move one of their stones up to two spaces in any direction, including diagonally, in what is called a passive (or set up) move. Second, they take a more aggressive move, which must be the same direction and number of spaces as the first move. It is this second move that allows you to push stones across the board - or off the board's edge. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of the four boards to win. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, plus a seat at the final round of the West Coast Regional Championship at RAGECON 2023 (as well as a free badge to RAGECON 2023)!

Play as a space agency trying to be the first to complete various objectives in the 1950's through 1970's. The game is all about planning how to achieve your goals given a limited budget and how much risk you are willing to take. Highly thematic game and really makes it feel like you're part of a space mission. BGG gives it a weight of 3.72 so it's not a light game, and be aware you'll have to do some math to plan out how many rockets of what size you'll need to get to your destination.

After the Battle of Yavin, Rebel fervor has exploded across the Galaxy and one large rebel cell, the Aqua Strike Group, has decided to launch a long-planned assault on the Imperial Instillation occupying the world of Lauros Prime. You, are Omicron Squad a member of Aqua Strike Group's 1st Spec-Ops Platoon, and the rebel cells principle Special Forces Recon team.

As part of the Strike Group's overall Invasion Plan, Alliance High Command has sent a team of Intelligence Agents to extract sensitive imperial data using the attack as a distraction. Your squad was tasked with an initial undercover insertion into the enemy facility. You had 2 primary objectives, first, destroy or otherwise sabotage the facility's primary anti-air cannons and its tie fighter deployment capabilities so they cannot be used against the invasion force. Second you were tasked with escorting the Alliance's operatives to their objective and then assisting in extracting them afterwards.

Having done your best to sabotage the Imperial Instillation, and with the invasion now begun in earnest, Aqua Strike Group command has issued orders for your Elite Spec-Ops team withdraw from the enemy instillation and move to flank enemy positions currently causing issues for the nearby Rebel forces. You have supplied with combat retrofitted civilian vehicles and will need to make your way from point to point engaging the enemy and completing objectives as you assist the invading rebel ground forces.

This is the first of a 3-part adventure, each session can be joined and played individually however to experience the full story I highly encourage attending all 3 sessions. This is a very combat heavy game, though there will be plenty of opportunities for roleplaying throughout, to be successful in your missions you will need to approach tactical challenge with some level of strategy. This strategy will begin with your character selection, a fairly wide selection of pre-generated characters will be provided, and it

Littlebeard w/Creator
Limited Capacity filling up
Feedback Survey
Game ahoy! From award-winning designer James Ernest, Littlebeard is a quick-playing miniatures game about adventures in the age of sail. It is nearly diceless and refreshingly simple, using the tabletop as the open sea, small objects as islands and obstacles, and any set of ship miniatures. But for RinCon, just plain ol’ materials are never enough – James has brought his hand-crafted islands and ships to play out a scenario called “The Ruins.”
A Golden Fleet splinter group, the Hard Men, led by Elias Merin and his ship, the Breakwater, have tracked down three ancient artifacts in the Dearu Sea. As they arrive at the island chain, they are greeted by the Smallwood Boys, led by Captain Kerin Hornblood! Can they get to the ruins and escape with the artifacts and their lives?

It's Catan, but GIANT! Embark on a quest to settle the fair isle of Catan! Guide your brave settlers to victory by using clever trading and development. Use resources (grain, wool, ore, brick, and lumber) to build roads, settlements, and cities, and buy development cards. Acquire your resources through trades or the role of the dice. But beware! You never know when someone might cut off your road or if the robber will appear and steal your precious gains. Are you the best trader, builder, or settler? Will you master Catan?

The 2023 Arizona State Bohnanza Championship
Limited Capacity seats available
Plant, then harvest bean cards in order to earn coins. Each player starts with a hand of random bean cards, and each card has a number on it corresponding to the number of that type of beans in the deck. You can't rearrange the order of cards in hand, so you must use them in the order that you've picked them up from the deck - unless you can trade them to other players, which is the heart of the game. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, plus a seat at the final round of the West Coast Regional Championship at RAGECON 2023 (as well as a free badge to RAGECON 2023)!

They must be skillfully careful: Who will position the penguin on top of the crocodile, the sheep on top of the penguin, the serpent on the sheep? The hedgehog wants to stand on top of the pyramid but the height is making him dizzy.
Tier auf Tier (a.k.a. Animal Upon Animal) is a simple stacking game, listed for ages 4-99, with 29 cute wooden animals. Each turn a player rolls the die and either places one or two animals on to the stack of animals, passes one of his or her animals to another player for them to place, or places an animal on the table, extending the base for other players to build upon. Of course, if any pieces fall off whilst you are building, you get up to two of them back. The first player to have used all of their animals wins.

Union Stockyards
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Feedback Survey
You play one the "Big Five" meat packers, developing technologies to use every part of the animal while battling labor unions and manipulating the market to your advantage. Union Stockyards is played over six years (rounds), each beginning with an historical event affecting game conditions or adding an additional action. You select your actions through worker placement; however, if you don't pay your workers enough, they may go on strike. You earn cash based on your profit margins when you slaughter cattle, hogs, or sheep. Your profit margin is your meat value minus the livestock cost. The livestock cost is the same for all players, but your meat values will differ due to your engine-building decisions of constructing buildings, establishing branch houses in eastern cities, and improving your brand reputation. At the end of each year, livestock costs (cattle, hogs, sheep) will be adjusted up or down depending on the demand that you created. Sometimes you may choose to slaughter certain livestock just to manipulate the market in your favor. Whichever packer accumulates the most wealth wins the game.

Shipwrights of Marino w/Creator
Limited Capacity filling up
Feedback Survey
At RinCon 2018, James Ernest (Cheapass Games, Crab Fragment Labs) started working out the core concept of this simple economic game for 2-5 players. Now it all comes full circle – he’ll be teaching the full game at this year's nautical-themed event!

In Shipwrights of Marino, players are building airships using resources from an ever-changing marketplace: Metal, Wood, Crew, Food, Rope, and Canvas. Prices for these resources fluctuate constantly, and your goal is to buy them cheaply, but finish your projects quickly. Along with basic resources, you can also invest in shipping expeditions that bring more resources home. Investors get the best deals on new deliveries, but sometimes those ships bring back almost nothing! Every contract earns money and launches a ship, which may grant a special effect or ability. Collect the right mix of abilities, and your shipyard can work faster, racing ahead of the competition.

Stone Age (w/5th player expansion)
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
The "Stone Age" times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and backs straining against wooden plows in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plow. People always searched for better tools and more productive plants to make their work more effective.

In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time.

Players use up to ten tribe members each in three phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of their staffed areas in whatever sequence they choose, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.

Feedback Survey
The past 3 years you have been working for a void raiding ship.  You have learned a lot, made a name for yourself and have make a small profit but you want in on the bigger action.   You are excited by a communication you received from the void pirate ship The Revenge.  The Revenge is captained by the notorious void pirate Roberts the Dread.   Maybe this is your time for a real score.
 
You leave the relative comfort of your smaller raiding ship and head to the secret meeting location.   You are the only one from you crew that got the invite.  Some cheer you on, others want to stab you in the back and take your place.  You try to image what bounty is in store for you.  Yes it will have risks, but with great risk comes great booty.
 
When you got to the secret meeting you vaguely recognize some of the others.  They are people who have made a name for themselves as well.  In walks Yelsew The Eel, first mate of Roberts.   “Maties, I be having a very dangerous venture for you.”
 
Join a group of dirty rotten pirates as they are sent on a mission that is for sure to be dastardly. 
There is one catch, not everybody is who they seem to be.  Players will draw at random a secret true personality.  There will be at least a dozen to choose from so each time the session is run the game will be different.  Your motivates may be to:
·         Accomplish the mission at all costs.
·         Have your own side mission.
·         Hunting down a pirate that may be in the crew and you will terminate them.
·         Have a reason to cause the mission to fail.
Enjoy a back stabbing good time.

A Reversal of Fortune: A classic ”save-the-princess story” with a twist.
Limited Capacity seats available
part 1 of the Wizard’s Vengeance tale.
The kingdom of Vendara teeters on the brink of calamity. Ensnared by a powerful enchantment, the beloved princess slumbers suspended in a fitful prison of nightmarish terrors, and the once flourishing crops of the kingdom wither and decay. Only by shattering the Ring of Charms can her tortured majesty be liberated from her enchanted suffering, and only with the Life Stone's restorative power can the kingdom's fields be rejuvenated. Time is of the essence; each passing day brings the princess closer to terminal madness and the kingdom to the precipice of a devastating famine.
Given the legends of their previous exploits, a reputation woven from threads of courage, wit, and indomitable spirit, our venerable adventurers, previously known as the “Shields of the Southlands,” find themselves jostled out from their peaceful retirement, summoned by royal decree.  Despite having embraced the simple life, their sense of duty to the realm and its people, could not ignore the summons of their king.  And so, they dust off their weapons, brush up on their spells, and tighten their armor. With their years of shared camaraderie and past victories, our retired heroes embark on the road once more. With the weight of the kingdom's fate upon their shoulders as always.
This quest is tailored for a party of 5 to 6 stalwart adventurers, honed to the 5th or 6th level of skill. A roster of pre-forged characters will be made available for selection, providing a diverse range of capabilities and backgrounds for this thrilling expedition.

Taking a much-needed relaxing break in between escapades, four gun-toting adventurers post up in a dingy bar in one of Alkenstar's entertainment districts. Right across the street at a theater, people flood inside to catch the premiere of a highly-advertised play, but what comes out of the theater is far more dangerous. As people scatter to safety in the dusty streets, its up to the group of gunslingers in the bar to set things right.

This short Pathfinder 2nd edition adventure written by Michael Sayre is intended to be completed in a single session and includes four 3rd-level pregenerated gunslinger characters, who make use of the exciting new equipment and rules found in Pathfinder Guns & Gears, whose backstories and motivations tie closely to one another.

To start, each player builds a strike team of iconic Star Wars characters, whether thematic squads straight from the Star Wars galaxy such as Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze, or Lord Maul and his loyalist super commandos, or a custom squad that's optimized to complete the various mission objectives for the current game. You then pit your squad against another one, using your characters' special abilities and diverse combat skills to control the flow of battle as you race to complete dynamically evolving mission objectives.

Vindication
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Feedback Survey
Vindication (formerly Epoch: The Awakening) is a highly strategic, fantasy-based tabletop journey for 2-5 players. Play time is 15-30 minutes per player.

Thrown overboard for a life of wretchedness, you wash ashore a hostile island ruins — completely alone with nothing except the breath in your lungs and an undaunted spirit.

Through your advanced resource management, area control tactics, and freeform action selection, you’ll add companions to your party, acquire bizarre relics, attain potent character traits, and defeat a host of unusual monsters in the ultimate goal of mastering heroic attributes — and regaining honor.

You may perform 3 actions on each turn in the order you feel is most advantageous that turn: activate a companion, travel to a new location, and interact with a map tile. Many actions require the the use of your influence to gain attributes in a one-of-a-kind heroic attribute alchemy system, which is leveraged to gain the game's most powerful rewards. For example, you can meditate at a spire to gain inspiration. You can train at a fort to gain strength. But then you can combine your inspiration and strength to gain the courage (inspired strength) which allows you to perform a bounty hunt.

There are distinctive end-game triggers that can be affected through game play, over 72 unique card abilities that can be merged in unusual ways for potent combinations, and fresh tile placement each game for high replayability.

A complete game is played over 13 cards. The goal is to get a score as close to 13 as possible. In case of a right answer, the players score 1 point. In case of wrong answer, they lose the current card as well as the top card of the deck. Thus losing 2 points. In case of lack of answer, the players only lose the current card, and therefore only 1 point.

Splendor - Kids' Track
Limited Capacity seats available
Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.

On your turn, you may (1) collect chips (gems), or (2) buy and build a card, or (3) reserve one card. If you collect chips, you take either three different kinds of chips or two chips of the same kind. If you buy a card, you pay its price in chips and add it to your playing area. To reserve a card—in order to make sure you get it, or, why not, your opponents don't get it—you place it in front of you face down for later building; this costs you a round, but you also get gold in the form of a joker chip, which you can use as any gem.

All of the cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for later buys; some of the cards also give you prestige points. In order to win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents do.

Deal with the Devil
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Feedback Survey
Deal with the Devil is a deeply thematic competitive Eurogame set in a fantasy medieval era. Each of the four players takes on a secret role of a mortal, a cultist, or even the Devil. Due to the asymmetrical roles, players experience the same game but with different game goals every play.

During the blind trading phase, players can offer their resources in exchange for money from another player. The Devil will tempt mortals with goods for a piece of their soul, while the cultist's nature is to sell their soul easily. Only the accompanying app knows who is trading with whom.

But beware! Showing off how well you are doing can attract unwelcome attention and the suspicion of other players. It also may pique the interest of the Inquisition, which is eager to punish those who cannot prove their souls remain intact.

There are many dynamic strategies to experiment with across each playing. Will you sell pieces of your soul early on to boost your city-building prowess at the risk of future punishment from the Inquisition? Or will you carefully manage loan and debt repayment while waiting for others to inadvertently reveal their nefarious nature? Every choice has a consequence, and each role has its own unique strategic approach to explore.

A Dangerous Venture (Legends of Kralis Play with Creator)
Limited Capacity seats available
The past 3 years you have been working for a void raiding ship.  You have learned a lot, made a name for yourself and have make a small profit but you want in on the bigger action.   You are excited by a communication you received from the void pirate ship The Revenge.  The Revenge is captained by the notorious void pirate Roberts the Dread.   Maybe this is your time for a real score.
 
You leave the relative comfort of your smaller raiding ship and head to the secret meeting location.   You are the only one from you crew that got the invite.  Some cheer you on, others want to stab you in the back and take your place.  You try to image what bounty is in store for you.  Yes it will have risks, but with great risk comes great booty.
 
When you got to the secret meeting you vaguely recognize some of the others.  They are people who have made a name for themselves as well.  In walks Yelsew The Eel, first mate of Roberts.   “Maties, I be having a very dangerous venture for you.”
 
Join a group of dirty rotten pirates as they are sent on a mission that is for sure to be dastardly. 
There is one catch, not everybody is who they seem to be.  Players will draw at random a secret true personality.  There will be at least a dozen to choose from so each time the session is run the game will be different.  Your motivates may be to:
·         Accomplish the mission at all costs.
·         Have your own side mission.
·         Hunting down a pirate that may be in the crew and you will terminate them.
·         Have a reason to cause the mission to fail.
Enjoy a back stabbing good time.

Operation Republic Legacy Part 3 - Holding out for Salvation
Limited Capacity filling up
After the Battle of Yavin, Rebel fervor has exploded across the Galaxy and one large rebel cell, the Aqua Strike Group, has decided to launch a long-planned assault on the Imperial Instillation occupying the world of Lauros Prime. You, are Omicron Squad a member of Aqua Strike Group's 1st Spec-Ops Platoon, and the rebel cells principle Special Forces Recon team.

As part of the Strike Group's overall Invasion Plan, Alliance High Command has sent a team of Intelligence Agents to extract sensitive imperial data using the attack as a distraction. Your squad was originally tasked with an initial undercover insertion into the enemy facility. You had 2 primary objectives, sabotage the facility's primary anti-air cannons and its tie fighter deployment capabilities and escort the Alliance's operatives to and from their objective.

Having done your best to sabotage the Imperial Instillation, and with the invasion begun in earnest, Aqua Strike Group command issued orders for your Elite Spec-Ops team withdraw from the enemy instillation and move to flank enemy positions currently causing issues for the nearby Rebel forces. Supplied with combat retrofitted civilian vehicles. You have spent the last several days making your way from point to point engaging the enemy and completing objectives assisting the invading rebel ground forces until you received orders to hunker down, hold your ground and await further contact.

Soon you will receive new orders, and in the coming battle all of the challenges you have faced, whatever progress you and your squad have made, and the objectives you have completed will be judged, and whatever tactical skills you have developed will be put to the test. Make no mistake, even if you have been successful up to this point, in this last stand you will have to make hard decisions, and if you have failed in your previous tasks, a reckoning will come. Do you have what it takes to stand your ground, no matter the cost, can you hold the line?

Your crew is taking some downtime, all doing your own thing: repairing broken friendships on Edenic, visiting family on Onyx, or just on your way to participate in a unique, dense-atmospheric flying competition on the planet Shaest. But then a well-organized attack by a powerful terrorist group bent on “reunifying the human race” at all costs creates a-Cluster wide crisis that threatens the lives of millions. You may be on vacation, but you are the only ones with the unique abilities required to stop it. Seconds matter, and it's all up to you. This is a new sci-fi adventure of wild action, uncommon heroism, and heart—set in my own imagined human future: The Han Cluster. We will use the Savage Worlds ADVENTURE EDITION (SWADE) system. Pregenerated characters are provided. This adventure is suitable for players ages 13+. No experience with Savage Worlds is necessary.

Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the main screen, while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Science, Engineering, and Weapon Control. Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room (bridge) , and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle and tells everyone what to do.
