Become the greatest wizard of the Annual Grand Rite by collecting and managing your Materia to feed your familiar and learn your spells. Act quickly to use your powers early...or wait to unleash them at full strength. Your path to victory is full of choices and combined tactics!

In SpellBook, each player, accompanied by a familiar, possesses a grimoire and collects Materia to master spells and feed their familiar. The game provides pre-drawn spell sets for use in the early rounds, but soon players start drawing spells randomly or create their own spell combinations that are common to all players. Each spell combination gives an effect that lasts the rest of the game, and the more ingenious the combination, the more powerful the effect. As the rounds progress, the game becomes a different experience every time, with more than 2,100 spell combinations being possible.

This is a pirate-themed tactical race game with player interaction and side goals (e.g. detouring for treasure). The winner is the player who best balances their position in the race with their success at the side goals. The game ends on the turn when at least one player's ship reaches the finish line, completing one circuit around the island of Jamaica. At that point, players are awarded different amounts of gold in accordance with how far away from the finish line they were when the race concluded. This gold is added to any gold a player gathered along the way by detouring from the race to search for valuable treasure, by stealing gold or treasure from other players, or just by loading gold as directed by the cards the player played during the race. The player with the most total gold acquired through all these means is then declared the winner.

In this effort, the Alliance may enlist the help of the wandering Vagabonds who are able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths. Though some may sympathize with the Alliance’s hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great birds of prey who once controlled the woods.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the region, the proud, squabbling Eyrie have found a new commander who they hope will lead their faction to resume their ancient birthright. The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root.

Boop is an absolutely adorable 2-player abstract strategy game. Kittens and cats are on a bed (the board is a little bed with a gridded quilt), and boop each other off the bed; 3 grown up cats snuggled in a row win!

This event is intended as an easy meetup time for folks who participated in the online Math Trade and/or Virtual Flea Market to exchange items. All exchanges for this meetup have been pre-arranged, so if you have no idea what a Math Trade or Virtual Flea Market are, you can ignore this :) If you're interested in buying or selling at a flea market during RinCon, check out the Used Game Flea Market on Saturday at 2-4!

For folks doing exchanges, we will plan to meet near the Quick Play Zone just inside the main gaming hall. You are more than welcome to arrange another meetup time for your individual trades, but please communicate with your trade partners if you know you will not be able to attend this event. You are also welcome to send someone else to complete your trades, but again, please communicate this ahead of time with your trade partners.

Become the greatest wizard of the Annual Grand Rite by collecting and managing your Materia to feed your familiar and learn your spells. Act quickly to use your powers early...or wait to unleash them at full strength. Your path to victory is full of choices and combined tactics!

In SpellBook, each player, accompanied by a familiar, possesses a grimoire and collects Materia to master spells and feed their familiar. The game provides pre-drawn spell sets for use in the early rounds, but soon players start drawing spells randomly or create their own spell combinations that are common to all players. Each spell combination gives an effect that lasts the rest of the game, and the more ingenious the combination, the more powerful the effect. As the rounds progress, the game becomes a different experience every time, with more than 2,100 spell combinations being possible.

Be the first to lead your men to the Temple while avoiding the Minotaur, which can be used by players to attack their opponents and knock them out of the maze. You can cleverly place walls to block your opponents and reshape the maze during play.

Clear and simple rules make this game playable for all ages from 5-6 and up. Primarily a children's game, but also fun for adults, particularly when played with their kids. This game is played on a board made of real LEGO pieces.

All players will receive a Lego prize.

Players take turns placing hexagonal bee tiles adjacent to the other tiles on the table one at a time. The first player who places four bees in a straight line wins.

As players create advantageous patterns and block others, Festoon becomes a game of competitive cooperation. Players must decide whether it is more advantageous to block another player's festoon or set themselves up for victory. The simple rules and strategic gameplay mean that anybody can play it, but victory can only be achieved by the player whose strategy comes out on top.

Speed BG Design: Whose Die Is It Anyway?

Kind of like "Whose Line Is It, Anyway" for game designers. Watch and participate as our illustrious team of board game designers (James Ernest of Crab Fragment Labs and Emily Vincent of Pink Hawk Games) come up with silly new games from scratch. The twist is that you, the audience, get to add to the fun by submitting concepts, mechanics, and materials along the way that they must then build into the final products.

"Sooo, it's a dice drafting game... about taco trucks that are really a front for DC-based spies... and we're supposed to incorporate WHAT?!?"

Hilarity will ensue, we feel certain!
