Cool, looks like we're good to go on hosting a DC Deckbuilding tourney at 4. We may need to borrow two copies (We have access to two already) if we get more than 10 players; there will be room for a maximum of 16 people.

Also, I'd like to participate in the Carcassonne tourney.

If Matt is willing to run the double map for Railways of the world, I would be in for that, however, if not, then I would like to run
Railways of the World: Railways Through Time at 6 pm

It plays 2 - 6 and would most likely take 2 hours.

We'll see what Matt has planed and then we'll update the schedule.

Malifaux

Where: Prairie Game eXpo
When: Saturday January 17, 2015
Start: 12:00 pm - 4:00pm

Malifaux is a character-driven 32mm tabletop miniatures game. Players collect, build, and paint models representing the denizens of Malifaux, pitting these models against one another in groups called Crews for control of the precious resource known as Soulstones.

A Crew can contain several different types of models depending on how a player constructs it. Masters can manipulate the course of events in the world around them, changing their own Fates through their control or theft of Soulstones. A variety of fantastic and frightening beings, collectively known as Minions, serve the Master as fodder in his or her machinations. In addition, Henchmen can lead specialized Crews in their Master's absence, or serve their Master directly as a member of a Crew. Masters and Henchmen are also supported by Totems, extensions of their magical abilities which increase their spellcasting range and provide additional aid in an Encounter. Lastly, each Master can transform itself into a powerful Avatar, representing a specific aspect of their personality.

How well a Crew carries out its leader's Strategy and Schemes determines whether or not it will emerge victorious in an Encounter with an enemy Crew. Strategies represent the Crew's main path to victory, while Schemes are simpler alternate routes to achieve the leader's goals.

Malifaux players use decks of cards called Fate Decks to resolve game events such as attacking and spell-casting. Players can manipulate the cards they play to alter the Duel's outcome. It takes a shrewd leader to effectively utilize a Crew's resources, ensuring he or she always has ready the cards needed to Cheat Fate.

Mike Nielsen will be on hand to demo and play Malifaux. Previous experience is not required. You do not need to bring miniatures either. Mike will have miniatures on hand for new players.

If you already play Malifaux, feel free to bring your own crew and challenge Mike or others to a game.

- 50 Point lists, make two of 'em. As usual no duplication of Character units and solos allowed.
- Players can bring a Mercenary/Minion list provided it would work for the main faction list they bring.  e.g. a player could bring a Khador list and a Four Star Syndicate one. Or a Circle Orboros and a Thornfall Alliance one. This was so people who like Mercs and Minions are less hosed.
