GAME DESIGNER'S CORNER
 

Saskatchewan has a growing community of board game and role playing game designers. PGX is helping support local gamers showcase their own designs.

Listed below, you will find the list of games scheduled to be played at Prairie Game Expo. No sign up to play is necessary. Drop in and play test a local game!

  for Game Designers: We are attempting to start a SaskGames Design group that will meet regularly to workshop our designs. We will meet at PGX at 1:00 pm to meet one another, show off some of our prototypes, and set some of our goals for meeting. Anyone interested in game design is welcome to join in, and there is no commitment in participating. Contact Derek (lifeofturner) for more details!

GAME: Merchant's Dilemma
TEACHER: Stephen "Stardust" Kenny
START TIMES: 2:15 and 4:00
DURATION: 30-60 minutes (depending on the number of players)

Welcome to Merchant's Dilemma, a political game of cooperation and rivalry for 3-6 players.

In Merchant's Dilemma, you are playing as a merchant who must negotiate with your fellow players to gain gold. Will you cooperate and both profit, or will you compete to try and take the riches for yourself? The choice is up to you!

Each turn, you will choose to cooperate or compete with another player. Cooperation results in the biggest payout overall, if you both agree. Choosing to compete while they cooperate, however, will gain you more while they gain nothing. Hopefully they don't hold a grudge.

Invest in Buildings to expand your influence, or play Tactics to get revenge on your enemies, but be careful who you burn. You might need them later if you hope to get ahead.

Merchant's Dilemma only takes about 10 minutes to setup and learn. The game lasts about 10 minutes per player (30-60 minutes).

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES
 

We will be hosting an area at PGX devoted to role-playing games. If you would like to run a RPG event please let us know. Past games have included Pathfinder, Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars, 3 6 9 & more!

GAME: Pathfinder
TEACHER: Melvin Ngo
START TIME: 9:00am - late
DURATION: up to 60 minutes per Scenario, multiple scenarios to play.
PLAYERS: 6 max. at a table
1. - 6. Games will start as spots fill up. No pre-registration required.

Pathfinder is a tabletop fantasy roleplaying game developed by Paizo. Characters are used to complete various adventures and scenarios to further their factions and the pathfinder organization. We accept groups of people or individuals that would like to test out pathfinder. If you choose to register for the organized play, your character will be valid to be used at any sanctioned Pathfinder events. It is a great way to jump into the world of roleplaying and easy to introduce new players. Each introduction scenario is developed for new players and the pre-generated characters used are easy to use. Tables can vary from 4 players to 6 and we will have multiple Game Masters available to assist. If you have any further questions feel free to email us at SaskatoonPFS@gmail.com
