Artemis

Friday October 2, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm MST

Limited Capacity seats available

Imagine being the Captain of your own star ship. Come join us with your crew and fly around the galaxy in a star ship, killing bad guys, being amazed by space dragons, and avoiding black holes! Operate the ship together, and defend the sector from evil aliens.

Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the main screen, while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Science, Engineering, and Weapon Control. Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room (bridge) , and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle and tells everyone what to do.

We will have 2 full bridges and some fighter stations, so you can do joint or head to head missions.

Survive The Island, that is the goal. The island of forty-six hex-tiles is sinking into the ocean. On the island there are hungry kaiju monsters. In the water there are man-eating sharks and sea serpents. All around you are desperate opponents, seeking to save their skin, and at your expense. The volcano on this island is about to erupt. So, jump on a raft, or jump in the sea and make a swim for it. Maybe you will make it to another island and Survive the Island!

NOTE: This is a "Plus Event", meaning there will be themed treats, spectacles, and prizes at the table. If you are a super-serious player, this is *NOT* the game for you.

Giant Cascadia

Friday October 2, 2026 8:00pm - 10:00pm MST

Limited Capacity seats available

Cascadia is a puzzly tile-laying and token-drafting game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.

In the game, you take turns building out your own terrain area and populating it with wildlife. You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with the five types of habitat in the game), and on a turn you choose a new habitat tile that's paired with a wildlife token, then place that tile next to your other ones and place the wildlife token on an appropriate habitat. (Each tile depicts 1-3 types of wildlife from the five types in the game, and you can place at most one token on a habitat.) Four tiles are on display, with each tile being paired at random with a wildlife token, so you must make the best of what's available — unless you have a nature token to spend so that you can pick your choice of each item.

Limited Capacity seats available

Carcassonne is a tile placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape represented on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, et cetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples in one of the areas on it: in the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, in the cloister as a monk, or in the field as a farmer. When that area is complete that meeple scores points for its owner.

In CATAN (formerly The Settlers of Catan), players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities and roads. On each turn dice are rolled to determine which resources the island produces. Players build structures by 'spending' resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) which are represented by the relevant resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep.

The Starved City: A Temeraire Megagame (w/Creator)

Saturday October 3, 2026 2:00pm - 6:00pm MST

Limited Capacity seats available

The year is 1800. The Austrian army has laid siege to the French garrison at Genoa, trapping the soldiers and civilians inside the city’s walls as the War of the Second Coalition rages on.

At sea, the Queen’s Navy maintains a blockade that has left the besieged troops with little hope and even less food; in the air, British and Austrian dragons have maintained a similar stranglehold.

Yet… Genoa has not fallen. As Napoleon’s forces mass in the East, there are whispers on all sides that he intends to break the siege. But what if he has other plans?

Join Magpie Games for a unique event—a megagame recreating the siege of Genoa in the Temeraire universe. Take on the roles of Napoleonic Era officers and dragons on all sides of the Siege of Genoa, fighting for honor, country, and glory. Determine the fate of the city… and the fate of the War, alongside your own personal fortune. Vive la République!

In this semi-cooperative game, players plan a vacation, then try to survive it together, taking on roles of family members on a trip. Items, player stats, decision making and die rolling will determine outcomes ranging from epic experiences to total disasters, while the group tries to survive the hilarious highs and lows of traveling together. The goal is to keep the family happy while collecting memories that will determine who truly had the best vacation. The game captures that strange truth about vacations: things can go completely wrong, but somehow become the stories you laugh about for years.

This is my first attempt at making a board game and is a prototype. The idea for was born after a particularly awful overseas family cruise where nearly everyone got hurt or sick.

VRacer Hoverbike "protoype" (w/ Creator)

Limited Capacity seats available

VRacer: Hoverbike is a fast-paced, combat racing game for 2-6 players, based on the VR game of the same name, where victory depends as much on smart bidding as it does on smart racing. Before the race begins, players draft a hand of Weapon Cards through a tense auction — every credit you spend is gone for good, whether you win the auction or not, and how much you spend determines your starting position on the grid. Spend big to guarantee the best weapons and start dead last, or hang back, save your credits, and take Pole Position with a thinner hand.
Once the race starts, each turn is a simple choice: roll the die for a safe, predictable move, or play your Active Card for a bigger push down the track paired with a weapon or ability — missiles, mines, homing attacks, EMPs, and more, each with their own range and risk. Power-Up spaces let you refresh your hand mid-race, Turbo spaces reward tight racing lines, and Shields offer a one-time bailout when a rival has you lined up. Every decision trades movement now against firepower later, all the way to the finish line.

Family Trip Turmoil

Sunday October 4, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm MST

Limited Capacity seats available

In this semi-cooperative game, players plan a vacation, then try to survive it together, taking on roles of family members on a trip. Items, player stats, decision making and die rolling will determine outcomes ranging from epic experiences to total disasters, while the group tries to survive the hilarious highs and lows of traveling together. The goal is to keep the family happy while collecting memories that will determine who truly had the best vacation. The game captures that strange truth about vacations: things can go completely wrong, but somehow become the stories you laugh about for years.

This is my first attempt at making a board game and is a prototype. The idea for was born after a particularly awful overseas family cruise where nearly everyone got hurt or sick.

Lumberjacks "prototype" (w/Creator)

Sunday October 4, 2026 11:00am - 1:00pm MST

Limited Capacity seats available

Lumberjacks is a strategy game for 2–6 players in which each player manages a crew of 3 lumberjacks across a full year, structured as 24 rounds. Players compete to harvest timber, invest in their operations, and adapt to shifting seasonal conditions, all while managing limited resources and reacting to events affecting the whole table.

Players win by building the most successful logging operation delivering the most logs by year's end, balancing short-term harvesting opportunities against long-term investment and adaptability. The game emphasizes meaningful player agency and avoids dominant strategies, so no single path to victory is optimal in every game — success depends on reading the season, managing your role's strengths, and adapting as conditions change.

Sunday October 4, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm MST

Limited Capacity seats available

Imagine being the Captain of your own star ship. Come join us with your crew and fly around the galaxy in a star ship, killing bad guys, being amazed by space dragons, and avoiding black holes! Operate the ship together, and defend the sector from evil aliens.

Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the main screen, while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Science, Engineering, and Weapon Control. Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room (bridge) , and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle and tells everyone what to do.

We will have 2 full bridges and some fighter stations, so you can do joint or head to head missions.
