DJ Chaddy MacChadderston, Cape Breton's one and only forgotten son of song, will start Prairie Game Expo with a JBL pumping 15 gigawatts and turned up to 11. Yes, it's Hitster the music trivia game where you don't need to know much of anything. We'll play in teams of two if we get 6 or 8 music lovers.

"Listen to over 100 years of amazing hits, take turns arranging them in chronological order on your music timeline and create your trip down memory lane. The first player to collect 10 hits is crowned the HITSTER." <--- taken from BGG.

Join me in Paper Tales, a 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres recommendation. Draft cards and then recruit them into your kindgom, if you can afford to pay. Your choices will determine how well you will do in battle, how much income you can generate, how many buildings you can construct, and how many legend points you will be awarded. As the game progresses, your units age and eventually fade into legend, thus making room for the next heroes.

I've checked the posts so far and see most games, etc have been updated.
I did then put Dr. Memphis into Hitster and got him into Heat, as well.

Other updates: Sounds like there will be 14 people for the Kill Team Tournament. And we'll have a 2nd copy of Heat: Pedal to the Metal so we'll be able to run that second table at the tournament.

I would like to sign up for Cogent TTRPG at 10 to 12

If Cogent finishes early I would like to join Chad at Paper Tales at 11:30 but understand if I miss it.

Chris and I will be available after Flamecraft, around 3:30 or so until 5:30 to play Lorcana. We'll have a few decks on hand, we can play regular games with people, or if people would like to learn how to play, we can definitely provide a demo.

(2) Big thanks to anyone who taught games at Prairie Game Expo-- whether you were an official Prairie Game Expo Host or an attendee kind enough to invite people to your table. Folks who help set-up and tear down, worked the front desk, and, in general, were helpful also deserve thanks.
(3) Big thanks to the Wa Wa Shriners for being such good hosts.
(4) Thanks to SaskGames' volunteers for being an important part of this event. SaskGames' executive and volunteers have been stalwart partners with ComicReaders for 10+ years. Dana and I (Chad) from ComicReaders have really enjoyed working with all these fine people again. They often go unnamed and sometimes unnoticed but they know who they are and we know who they are and they are appreciated and respected by the whole ComicReaders team.

Also, if you have any thoughts or feedback about these events, send an email to PGX@SaskGames.com (PGX@SaskGames.com)[/font]
