Central Canada Comic Con 2009 runs this coming weekend, Friday through Sunday, at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. I’m going to be there, demoing board and card games for the good folks at Imagine Games and Hobbies on Saturday and Sunday.
What games? Well, here’s a list of what I’ll have with me:
- Arkham Horror
- Beowulf the Legend
- Battlestar Galactica
- Fury of Dracula
- Gloom
- The Stars are Right
- Runebound
- Anima
- Deluxe Illuminati
- The B-Movie Card Game
Tentative plan is going to be to do what I did the first time I did this, the year before last. Saturday, I run pick-up games of whatever people are interested in playing, except Arkham Horror. If there’s enough interest, and people commit to it, I set up Arkham Horror for a big, long game on Sunday. If there isn’t enough interest, Sunday is more pick-up games.
Why am I holding off on Arkham Horror? Because the game is huge, and it takes a long time to set up and tear down, and an even longer time to play. If I start Arkham Horror, I probably won’t be running anything else for at least four hours, more likely five or six. That means I only want to do it if people are really interested in playing it; nothing sucks more than having folks getting bored in the middle of a long demo.
So, if you’re at the con, stop by and say hi, or sit down and play a game or two.
It’ll be fun.
I’ll be there at some point this weekend, but it’s doubtful I’ll have time for something like Arkham Horror 🙁
