RinCon 2024

In Dominion, each player takes turns repeatedly drawing through their own personal deck of cards. Each player's deck starts small, but players can purchase new cards from a common supply to upgrade their deck; these new cards can then be drawn and used on future turns. Players ultimately seek to build the strongest deck with the most victory points needed to win the game.

I have a few expansions I'll bring as well & we can probably fit in a couple of playthroughs.

This is your ticket to the track!

In Long Shot: The Dice Game, you and up to seven other players will strategize and push your luck as the action unfolds in a tense race of eight horses. During the game you buy horses, place bets, influence race movement, and utilize special abilities. The roll of the dice determines which horses move and the options available each turn, so be ready to adapt your plans. Once three horses cross the finish line, earnings are totaled. While there are many ways to earn money during a horse race, only the player that makes the most money will be declared the winner. Will you play it safe, or risk it big on a long shot?

—description from the publisher

The prehistoric players have already learned how to build huts and hunt food. Now they sit around the fire, gaze in wonder at the tribal matriarch, and wonder how they can look as good as her: "Why is my tooth just hanging?" "Honey, I also want something to make my skin look good."

In this expansion for Stone Age, style is the goal as ornaments and jewelry become part of the game – not to mention a merchant to handle such items. Players can now transform their raw materials into jewelry and other adornments.

This expansion includes a new location for the village, new cards, and new huts – not to mention components that allow game play with up to five Stone Age hunter-gatherers.

Union Stockyards is a mid-weight economic euro game with unique features:
- A supply/demand driven market that is central to game play.
- Low randomness -- market changes due to player decisions.
- A worker-placement game where your workers may go on strike.
- Extensively-researched historical theme about one of the great industrial wonders of U.S. Gilded Age.

This session will include the published game plus a prototype of the Westward Expansion. The expansion adds more years (rounds), more actions, and a deeper decision space.

A team of heroes, all with impressive powers and abilities stand between the world and the forces of evil. Will you help them? Answer the call to protect the multiverse!

Sentinels of the Multiverse is a cooperative, fixed-deck card game with a comic book flavor. Each player plays as one of ten heroes, against one of four villains, and the battle takes place in one of four different dynamic environments.

Each player, after selecting one of the heroes, plays a deck of 40 cards against the villain and environment decks, which "play themselves", requiring the players to put the top card of the appropriate deck into play on the villain and environment turns. On each player's turn, they may play a card from their hand, use a power printed on one of their cards in play, and draw a card from their deck. Each round starts with the villain turn, continues clockwise around the table, then concludes with the environment turn. Each villain has various advantages, such as starting with certain cards in play, as specified by the villain character card. Play continues until the heroes reduce the villain to 0 or fewer HP, or until the villain defeats the heroes, either via a win condition or by reducing all the heroes to 0 or fewer HP.
