Prairie Game eXpo - Core Ritchie Centre - Saturday, January 17th, 2015 (9:00am)

I am going to host a game of Kemet at 3:30, two spots are open.

In Kemet, players each deploy the troops of an Egyptian tribe and use the mystical powers of the gods of ancient Egypt – along with their powerful armies – to score points in glorious battles or through invasion of rich territories. A game is typically played to 8 or 10 victory points, which may be accrued through winning attacks, controlling temples, controlling fully-developed pyramids, sacrificing to the gods, and wielding particular magical powers.

The conquest for the land of Kemet takes place over two phases: Day and Night. During the day, choose an action amongst the nine possible choices provided by your player mat and perform it immediately. Once every player has taken five actions, night falls, with players gathering Prayer Points from their temples, drawing Divine Intervention cards, and determining the turn order before the start of the new day.

As the game progresses, they can use Prayer Points to acquire power tiles. Some of these enroll magical creatures and have them join their troops. In addition to intimidating enemies, these creatures provide special powers!

Detailed miniature components represent the combat units and the supernatural creatures that are summoned to enhance them. Combat is resolved through cards chosen from a diminishing six-card hand and enhanced by bonuses.

Sorry to be so last minute but Riley and I have to drop out of the Warmachine/Hordes tournament due to a family health issue.

My apologies: I didn't realize that the Carcassonne tournament had been expanded to include another game, so I made other plans for that time and I will come later in the day to PGX. I do see that there is someone on the wait list, so enjoy! Sorry about the late notice.

Thanks for another fantastic event, Dana and Chad (and Murray working the canteen).  I was only able to stay for one quick game of Dominant Species but had a great time.

What a terrific day at the Prairie Games Expo. I played my first tournament in Star wars x-Wing and was completely crushed. Totally schooled and ruined. lol. Learned a lot today and had fun - in a frustrated sort of way . Then afterwards i was introduced to a couple new games and really enjoyed them too. Cannot wait for the next Expo! Thanks Comic Readers for a great event!

Had lots of fun learning how to play Samurai, Star Wars: Age of Rebellion, and, creating my own and playing a D&D Next character.
