Endeavor: Game type: Historical    Time: 7pm - 11pm (Friday)
Game Master: Eric Couch
Room: Llano
Table number: BG-3
Number of Players: 2-5
Description: A game of world exploration and empire building. You represent a European empire colonizing the Mediterranean and shipping to all parts of the world to increase the
empire's glory and status in Industry, Culture, Finance and Politics. When a region opens up (i.e. the shipping lanes are full) a player can colonize, attack or retrieve resources from
that region. The game plays easily as each turn a player builds a building giving him a special action or increasing one of his main statistics, and gets a number of people with which
to activate buildings for special actions (Ship, Occupy, Attack, Draw or Pay). Increased skill in Politics allow the player to hold cards that help increase his statistics and glory.
Descent: Game type: Fantasy   Time: Midnight - 6am (Friday)
Game Master: Travis Tonne
Room: Llano
Table number: BG-6
Number of Players: 2-5
Description: A Board Game of Dungeon Delving Adventure: Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a semi-cooperative game in which two to five players will take on the antagonistic roles
of heroes and Overlord. Up to four players will choose characters with a wide assortment of skills and innate abilities to be the heroes who will explore dungeons in search of
treasure and adventure. One player will take on the role of the Overlord and will control the dungeon's many traps, puzzles, and monsters.
Battlestar Galactica: Game type: Sci-fi   Time: 3pm - 6pm (Saturday, Session 2)
Game Master: Eric Couch
Room: Llano
Table number: BG-3
Number of Players: 3-6
Description: Battlestar Galactica is a cooperative game, with the added complication that one or more of the players is a secret Cylon traitor – your entire side will win or lose, and
you might not even be certain who is on your side until the game ends!

Each player is secretly assigned his or her loyalty at the start of the game. Players will either be loyal to the humans, or to the Cylons. Humans and Cylons have specific and
conflicting winning objectives. The human players win by reaching Kobol, but the Galactica will be be threatened by a host of challenges along the way. Only through the
cooperation of the humans will the ship (and fleet) survive. The Cylon player(s) wins by either destroying the Galactica with attacks from the Cylon fleet, or, through sabotage, by
reducing one of the necessary resources (Food, Fuel, Population, or Morale) to zero. Either all of the humans win together, or all of the Cylons win together…but both sides must
figure out who they can trust in order to achieve victory. Players' identities are secret and no one will know for certain at the beginning of the game who they can trust. Keep your
eyes open and watch how the other players play. Can you trust them to watch out for Humanity’s interests? Or are they Cylons bent on destroying Humanity? If your gaming group
enjoys highly-thematic political intrigue, and can handle some good-natured infighting and backstabbing, you'll enjoy Battlestar Galactica. If you like playing a game where there is a
continuous challenge, and victory is always a very close call, Battlestar Galactica is for you.
Dungeon Lords: Game type: Fantasy   Time: 2pm - 6pm (Sunday, Session 2)
Game Master: Eric Couch
Room: Llano
Table number: BG-3
Number of Players: 2-5
Description: Dungeon Lords is a game for 2 to 4 aspiring Dungeon Lords. You get to dig tunnels, mine gold, hire monsters, create traps and care about all the things a
proper dungeon needs. It is not easy, as the competition for resources is stiff and sometimes you have to get a bit evil to get what you want – and the more evil you get,
the stronger the adventurers your dungeon attracts. Twice a game, these adventurers set off to conquer your dungeon. Command your monsters and use your traps to
stop them, before they do too much damage. In the end, you score based on your achievements: constructing and defending your dungeon, and perhaps winning some
prestigious titles.
