Magic and Puzzlehunt

Big news on the Puzzlehunt front! It exists!
This year, you too can participate in catching Pikachu solving puzzles and collecting all the gym badges clues on November 17th for this year's Pokemon themed Puzzlehunt. Registration is now open! Just click on this giant block of blue linky goodness to register you or your team!

Also, this week will be magic week. In the spirit of sorcery and spells, we will supply a stock of all our most magical games like Thunderstone and Seasons. Also, also, bring Magic: The Gathering cards. I'm sure there are more than a few of you who have been wanting to duel for awhile.

New Board Games

We got new games! Three of them to be exact, and here they are:

Smash Up - Fast, and fun. Pick two types of decks, smash them up, and then fight each other for different bases. Expect zombie dinosaurs, robot wizards, alien tricksters, etc.

Seasons - A short card game draft followed by generating a massive hoard of crystals while destroying everyone else's crystals.

Khronos - Time Civilization. Really. It's a bit hard to understand the first time through, but fans of strategy games should love this.

also Thurn and Taxis in a we-don't-own-it-but-we-just-got-it way

Hope everyone had a great Fall Break and is ready for more DAGGER!

Assassin's Creed III

For this week's DAGGER, we will be having a very special guest with a very special presentation. By that I mean the Ubisoft representative for Duke is bringing Assassin's Creed III for people to go ahead and try. There will be 2 or 3 copies running, and we will be bringing some other games (Remember, you can request any games we own). Oh, and pizza. Since this post looks small, but I feel this is big news:

COME TRY OUT ASSASSIN'S CREED III, ALSO FOOD


Edit: I guess I lied. So this was a promotional event for Assassin's Creed 3, but the actual game will not arrive until later. Remi will most likely give me details for the event with AC3 later. On the other hand, there was pizza. Only a half lie.

One Shot RPGs and Music Trivia!

Man this is a late post. For anyone who hasn't seen the e-mail, we are doing One Shot RPGs tomorrow night! Among our fine selection is:


Dread: 
Zombehs! Everywhere! It's up to you to... I guess not die? This is a pretty unique take on tabletop RPGs for one reason. We don't use dice, we use a Jenga tower. Need to do something difficult? Pull a Jenga block. Need to do something REALLY hard? Pull MULTIPLE blocks. When the tower falls, you are DEAD! Then we build the tower up again and keep going. Maybe you'll survive.

Fiasco:
You like Cohen Brothers films? Do you like watching every character's lives go to hell slowly in a self-destructive spiral? DO YOU LIKE FUNNY ACCENTS!? Then Fiasco is the game for you! Simply choose a theme, roll a bunch of dice, and start acting out a movie, one scene at a time. Watch as your well-laid plans explode magnificently and then weep!

Gamma World:
Imagine D&D 4e. Now imagine it simpler. Now imagine it where you random your character. NOW! Imagine it in the future-pocalypse. That's basically Gamma World. You will die, and you will die often. Then you will roll a random character and keep going.

Old School Hack: (maybe)
Tabletop RPG condensed. No frills, just you out there doing stuff, killing stuff, stuffing stuff, stuff. Hey, it's simple and free.

Also! No Doubt Listening Event with Trivia!

We are co-sponsoring an event Friday night at 6 PM at GA Down Under. There will be music, but also, there will be 80s and 90s trivia with free food, and prizes!
