Fri 6:30-9:25pmMagic, Myth, and MysteryRPG5 availableR01Ryan Clement
Local Designer
For centuries, humanity fought a secret shadow war against the creatures of darkness and myth, until one day the unthinkable happened.
Peace. In exchange for freely and openly joining human society, the nearly extinct supernaturals agreed to follow human laws so long as humanity stopped its incessant messing around with dangerous magics. You and your human-adjacent colleagues work for OMMM, an international NGO dedicated to stopping rampaging mythological beasts, solving arcane mystical puzzles, confronting illegal sorcery, navigating office politics, and of course managing social media. Magic, Myth, and Mystery is a locally designed rules-light RPG that uses cards rather than dice, giving players more influence over the story. Set in a globe-trotting modern fantasy world not unlike our own, players will choose one of six pre-generated characters, some human and some less so, based on various global legends. Together, they must save the world, or at least avoid making things worse.

Weirdwood Manor is a cooperative board game that marries great adventure gameplay with some euro-inspired underpinnings, as you and your group of valiant companions battle to protect Weirdwood Manor and its enigmatic ruler, Lady Weirdwood, from an invading Fae Monster and his Clockwork Scarab minions.
The Manor is a mysterious and magical place where rooms and the pathways between them can shift as time progresses. The game features a unique temporal mechanic; every time a player or the Fae Monster takes an action, time will move forward in the game and the connections between the rooms will shift via unique rotating corridor rings on the game board. Players have some agency in how to use their actions to affect how quickly (or slowly) time moves, but beware, if the players use up their allotted time and have not defeated the monster, they lose!

Fri 8:30-9:25pmRaBoardgameFullC06Daniel
Ra is an auction and set-collection game with an Ancient Egyptian theme.
Each turn players are able to purchase lots of tiles with their bidding tiles (suns). Once a player has used up his or her suns, the other players continue until they do likewise, which may set up a situation with a single uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round occurs. Tension builds because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three lots for the epoch. The various tiles either give immediate points, prevent negative points for not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round. The game lasts for three "epochs" (rounds). The game is easy to learn.
