I'm currently developing a Horror based RPG which uses a Card Based GM System.  I've been told I really need to play Once Upon A Time as it will likely help with my game design.  Would someone have a copy that they can bring to CC?

I'm going to bring out the Spiel des Jahres nominee Imhotep. It's an area control/area influence game where players are Egyptian builders building pyramids and other monuments. You load blocks onto your sleds, load up the boats and then try to get your blocks where you'd like them to be. But since anyone can move any boat that can be tricky (so there's also a lot of take-that).

This is a family weight game so anyone can play.

GAME: Imhotep

I'll also bring out Animals On Board which is a fun filler. It's an I-pick/you-choose game with set-collection and a silly theme (you're competing with Noah to get animals on your arks though not in pairs because Noah trademarked that).

Super quick, light and it's a Spiel des Jahres recommended game this year, too.

GAME: Healthy Heart Hospital
TEACHER: RTigger
START TIME: 8:40
DURATION: 1h30m
# OF PLAYERS: 5

Welcome to Anytown, U.S.A. where people grumble about the quality of their health care but still show up at Healthy Heart Hospital hoping they made a smart decision. Much has been said (and even more has been written) about the previous administration's haphazard management of Healthy Heart. In an effort to save the Hospital, you and your allies among its leading Physicians have staged a recent "Clinical Coup" and taken over the Hospital to restore its prestige. However, actually managing things from the inside is never as easy as it appears from the outside, and juggling the responsibilities at Healthy Heart Hospital can quickly turn even the noblest healer into a money-grubbing pragmatist cynically looking for a place to hide the victims of your "care."

Meant to get this up sooner. Hopefully there's still interest!

GAME: Merchant's Dilemma
TEACHER: Stephen Kenny
START TIME: 8:30
DURATION: 30-60 minutes (~10 minutes per player)
# OF PLAYERS: 3-6

Since I designed this game myself, there is no BGG link, so here's a quick description.

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 along the way. You might need them later if you hope to get ahead.
