Dungeon Twister Demo
Board GamesDungeon Twister
This event is to teach new players how to play the fun and exciting game of Dungeon Twister. Materials will be provided, so just bring you. Bring friends if you have them, they will like it too! :) Here is a description of the game from the BGG site: Dungeon Twister is a 2-player high level strategy game where 2 teams of adventurers with various powers are trapped in a dungeon. The board is composed of 8 rooms that can be moved and rotated by the players. Each turn, a player is able to spend actions to move around the dungeon, pick up and use items, battle with the opponent’s team, or turn and move the rooms of the dungeon. The goal is to reach 5 victory points. Points are collected by moving adventurers out of the dungeon or by killing an opponent's adventurer. Treasures are disseminated across the whole dungeon and will bring the adventurers well-needed powers. Each player has the same characters, each with different powers. Some run fast, some fight or disarm traps. The cleric heals, magician burns everything in sight and the goblin is so weak that the simple fact of getting him out will bring you two victory points. Combat and actions are managed via cards. To move, fight, heal or turn a room, you must manage action points obtained by playing cards. Those cards are not drawn but selected from a set of cards by both players. Both players have access to the same panel of cards at the beginning of the game so the game is really about managing the resources and adapting to the changing environment.

Dungeon Twister Tournament
Board GamesDungeon Twister
This tournament is open to experienced and new players. The rules are simple and quick to learn, but the strategies and tactics are endless. The format will be a Swiss tournament and the number of rounds dependent upon the number of players. Each round will be 45 minutes and the forces/units will be made up by the Equal Forces method (which is simple and easily explained on site if you are unfamiliar with it.) The winner of each round will be the first to achieve 5 VP or who has the most VPs at the end of a round. Players who own copies of DT are encouraged to bring them. I have a couple of sets, but not enough if it the event fills. It would be beneficial to have enough base sets or Prison sets to allow everyone to have similar forces. Expansion sets may have to be used. Please feel free to ask any questions through email. Prizes and goodies are provided by the International Dungeon Twister League (www.dungeontwister.org). You can sign up for a free account at the website where dedicated players from around the world meet and discuss the game. Registration is at 9am. I would like to start the tournament soon after. Depending on the number of players this may run into the afternoon session. However, we should most likely be done by 1pm in most instances.

Battleground: Fantasy Warfare
Miniature GamesBattleground: Fantasy Warfare
From YourMoveGames (the publisher) website: Battleground: Fantasy Warfare is a point-based miniatures game – but without the miniatures. Battleground uses cards rather than painted models to represent your forces. This means a much lower price as well as easier transportation and setup, but don’t be fooled – this is not a “light” war game or a CCG. Battleground is a serious, award-winning wargame that will challenge you at every step, from army design and deployment to tactical maneuvers and command decisions until battle’s end. What you Get Each Battleground army comes in two different decks. • Army Starters contain eighteen unit cards, a thirty-card Command Deck and two quickstart reference cards, plus the basic rules. This gives you all the cards you need to get started – in play terms, each unit card is the equivalent of a boxed set of miniatures. • Army Reinforcement decks each contain fifty unit cards – enough for almost any army you can imagine – and the advanced rules. Reinforcement decks also include two unit types not available in that army’s Starter. All you need in addition is a flat surface, an opponent, some dice and a couple of dry-erase markers. In this event, you and an opponent will face off against each other using one of the two armies in a random Starter deck. The winner keeps the deck. This event is a learning event and new players are encouraged to come try out the game. Attracting new players is what this event is all about!!!

Return to the era when an Elf was just an Elf, and rules were kept to a bare minimum. This will be based on an old school TSR dungeon adventure, with just enough plot worked in to give a reason for 4 to 6 adventurers to risk their necks in a dangerous underground environment. Pregens will be provided. No previous experience necessary.

The Civil War in the Southwest
SeminarSeminar
Texas, having had its previous attempts to conquer New Mexico rebuffed in 1841 and 1850, was determined to mount an invasion in early 1862 with sufficient force to overcome any resistance. This lead to one of the most fascinating and entertaining campaigns of the civil war. With Confederate units coming from as far away as San Antonio and Unionist converging from Denver, it was a campaign of long marches, difficult supply, and wide flanking moves There would be an "official" Company of Brigands, a lancer charge, deployment of torpedo mules, colorful leaders such as Kit Carson, the "Fighting Parson" and Henry Hopkins Sibley -- who lead the Confederates, but missed every battle. So even if you've seen the movie..The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly...come learn about the historical basis for the civil war part of it.
