Roll for the Galaxy is a reimplementation of the classic sci-fi themed phase/action selection game, Race for the Galaxy. In Roll for the Galaxy, players build a tableau of game tiles representing their galactic empire. Over several game rounds, each player creates their galactic empire using custom dice (representing their workers) to explore new game tiles, settle worlds and build developments, produce goods on settled worlds, and ship those goods for Galactic Credits and/or Victory Point chips. Players start each round by secretly rolling dice in their cup behind a screen and then allocating those rolled dice (based on the icon showing on top) under the corresponding icon on a phase strip. Each player also uses one of those rolled dice to select one of the five phases. After all players reveal their dice allocation, the selected phases are resolved with used dice returned to the Citizenry space, and unused dice returned to the player’s cup. Players then manage their empires, including spending Galactic Credits ($) to recruit dice from the Citizenry space to roll for the next round. The player who best manages his/her dice to create the greatest galactic empire of combined total points from placed worlds, developments, and Victory Point chips wins. Beginners and experienced players are welcome!
GREAT WESTERN TRAIL + RAILS TO THE NORTH EXPANSION
Event #:
SAT-BG-3
GM: Eric Guttag
Event Description:
Great Western Trail is a thematic cattle wrangling and railroad shipping game which requires a combination of hand management, deck building, play board and action selection management, etc. to reach Kansas City with the most valuable cattle, as well as move your train far enough ahead to minimize transportation costs. Players must also move their cowboy token from point-to-point on that trail to Kansas City to efficiently to use their own and common buildings on that trail to improve their cattle deck, place new buildings, obtain valuable contracts and hazard tokens, trade with the Indians, use/improve the abilities of their player boards, and much more. There are many paths to victory by hiring cowboys to improve your herd, craftsman to construct more and improved buildings, and/or engineers to move your train more rapidly forward on the rail line.
The Rails to the North expansion modifies the existing railway system of the base game to offer new paths for players to compete on as they grow their cow herding businesses. Besides 2 new buildings, this expansion offers a new auxiliary action for expanding your rail network from the main rail line by discarding 2-value cattle cards to place one or two branchlet tokens on this expanded rail network. FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS OF GREAT WESTERN TRAIL ONLY (AT LEAST 3 PRIOR GAMES WITH BASE GAME AND/OR RAILS TO THE NORTH EXPANSION, KNOWLEDGE OF BASE GAME, PLUS EXPANSION RULES IS EXPECTED).
In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, a demon walks amongst you...
During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?
Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townfolk.
During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. Of a 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill.
The Storyteller uses the game's intricate playing pieces to guide each game, leaving others free to play without a table or board. Players stay in the thick of the action to the very end even if their characters are killed, haunting Ravenswood Bluff as ghosts trying to win from beyond the grave.
If you arrive late to a game, you can enter after it's started as a powerful Traveller character with unusual talents and questionable allegiances. Each character comes with their own special ability and no two players in a game are ever the same character.
