Catan Travel Edition Tournament - age 12 and under

I'm new to setting things up on here, but I'm planning to bring Milestone School's junior board games club down for a travel edition settlers of Catan tournament for 12 players at 1 p.m. We'll all be coming in from out of town, so I'm hoping I can reserve space for at least eight of my students when I run the tourney.

Any advice or help setting this up on here would be appreciated. As would prize support, natch! :)

Hi Alex,

I'll be keeping this up-to-date as changes/additions to the schedule are announced.  If others are interested I can post updated versions here as well.

GAME: Once Upon A Time
TEACHER: Thomas Boxall
START TIME: 10:00
DURATION: 60

I would like to run a game of Once Upon A Time as a Creative Thinking exercise.  For those that have never played Once Upon A Time, it is a storytelling card game.  Players collaboratively try to create a story tale using the cards in their hands.  The first play to play their ending card wins the game.  This is a great game for future GameMasters/DungeonMasters to play as it trains you to think on your feet, and adapt to changes in your story.

All skill levels are welcome, the goal of the game is to have fun.

Looking forward to going to this for the first time. Just got back into board games so it will be nice to see what the community is all about.

Feel free to pop by Chewsday Challenge (Boston Pizza, Tuesday nights) or Games on Tap (Wednesday nights, Beer Brothers) if you need a dose of gaming before that!

I've signed up 3 young players for the King of New York tournament. All three have played the game before and are looking forward to it.

Yep, all day! they'll be around 60 minutes long so you just go to them and express your interest and they'll drop you into one :)

Looks like I won't be out of town any more. Now there's an X-Wing tourney too?! Decisions... If time allows I'd like to set up a game of Caverna for 6:00 if that's not too late.

Is someone willing to teach or just bring a copy of original Pandemic for me and a friend to play?

Either. I have played it twice, so I think I could teach it myself after running through the rulebook. But if someone wants to teach it, I'd be happy to let them.  :D

Intruders have made their way onto your ship, and their goal is total destruction! More than twenty bombs have been detected onboard, and the countdown has begun. Your elite Bomb Defusal Team (BDT) has been called upon to neutralize the threat. Does your team have what it takes to work through the intricacies of the bombs and defuse them all in time?

FUSE is a real-time co-operative game that employs 25 dice and 65 cards. Each game is set to a ten-minute timer, and players must work together in that ten minutes to defuse all of the bombs. Each bomb is represented by a card which needs a certain combination of dice in order to defuse it. A player will draw a number of dice equal to the number of players out of a bag and roll them. Players must then decide who will get which dice, but each player must take one and only one.

It's a simple task: maximize the potential of your dice among all of the players. The problem is that you have only ten minutes, and there are more than twenty bombs on your ship. You don't have time to think through every option. You barely have time to yell at Grandma as she reaches for that red die you need. This game will self-destruct in ten minutes...

It's just another day, get up, wash, go to work. What's different is that today the Earth has been invaded by aliens – it's just that nobody knows it yet. Deep underground mad scientists are raising monsters from the planet Moongha. Once fully formed they will emerge to spread terror and destruction. Cities will be laid waste to, and the human race will be hunted to extinction.

PGX SCHEDULE - Visual format - ATTACHED

At the last PGX I found it useful for planning my game playing to arrange the PGX schedule in visual format.  I've done the same thing for this PGX.  Since others might find this useful as well I've attached my version of the PGX schedule with this post. 

I'll be keeping this up-to-date as changes/additions to the schedule are announced.  If others are interested I can post updated versions here as well.

Either. I have played it twice, so I think I could teach it myself after running through the rulebook. But if someone wants to teach it, I'd be happy to let them.  :D

I will be there at 9am and I will bring along Pandemic.  Unfortunately I won't be able to teach as I am registered for a couple of the tournaments but you are welcome to use it whenever you like.

Hi can you sign me up for King of New York tournament at 3pm
Thanks Morley

I hope I am not being a pain but I have decided that I would like to give the Legendary tournament a go. In which case I would need to be removed from Catan Histories as they start at the same time. Thank you.

I'll be attending & here is a list of my games I can bring if something interests you.

https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Buckie_poo?own=1&subtype=boardgame&ff=1

I'll be there with some yet-to-be-determined games. I am fairly certain I'll be bringing Cosmic Encounter, Galaxy Trucker and Mysterium. I'll peruse the rest to see what I feel like taking.

I will be there.  I'm teaching Evolution in the afternoon (already scheduled) and am registered in some of Lori's games.  If there's demand I can bring some of my favourites like Acquire / MEGAcquire, Yunnan, etc.  Just let me know.

Attached is an updated copy of my PGX Schedule (visual format)... there have been some late additions and changes.

Hi folks,

For the Game Designers' Corner, I have the following:

Quote
GAME: Lands of Chexx
DESIGNER: Rafael McRaven
START TIMES: 3pm-5pm
DURATION: 30-60 minutes
DETAILS: This is a chess variant that I'm developing that's part of a bigger game system.

Apologies in advance if I didn't post and quote this correctly, it's my first time!

Unfortunately, Leah Geiger and Rob Geiger will not be attending today. Please remove us from two games:

Automobile
Scythe

Thanks.

Put me in for Great Western Trail.

Another great game day at PGX.  "Thank You" to all the folks who made it possible - the sponsors (SaskGames & ComicReaders), the volunteers, the helpers and the gamers.

Hi-lite: Great games, great company.
Lo-lite: losing not one but TWO games (including a Tournament finale) each by a single point... AARGH!

Interesting fact:
Back in October at PGX, the tournament (Dixit & Dominion) winners  were... Jill & Scott.
Today the tournament (Legendary & King of New York) winners were... Jill & Scott!

I would also like to second this, big thanks to all of those involved to make this happen and an additional thanks to Bryce for bringing out Scythe and teaching a couple of us the rules and Damien for answering all of our stupid questions about game play  :lol

Agreed, what a fantastic community!  Despite a cold that took me home at an early 4pm, it was great fun and could not be done without many people giving their time and sponsorship.
