It's too bad this is the same weekend as the SaskExpo

An unfortunate side effect of having to book the venue almost a year in advance.

Malifaux

THE GAME
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. 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.

THE TIME
Table space will be available from 12pm - 4pm. Visit for a demo.

If you already play Malifaux and would like to play the game at Prairie Game Expo please respond to this post so other players know you are coming.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue; "Small Town, Big Fire"

THE GAME
Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a cooperative game of fire rescue. "Small Town, Big Fire" is a special gaming event where players coordinate their efforts to put out fires occurring on six separate game boards. The unthinkable has happened. A fire has broken out in a mechanic's garage located in a small town. The fire quickly spread to nearby residences. There are not enough resources-- fire engines, ambulances, ladders-- or specialized firefighters (Hazmat Specialists, Imaging Technicians, Rescue Dogs, Paramedics, etc) to quickly and efficiently tend to each fire. Tough decisions will have to be made. Which firefighters will tend to which fires. When and where will rescue vehicles be needed. These are the things the players will have to decide while actively fighting the fires and trying to rescue people trapped inside the burning buildings.

Players will be randomly assigned a Firefighter role. The players will see the state of the fire in each building, including locations of hazardous materials and potential victims. As a group, they must decide which firefighters will go to which building, and where the limited number of fire engines and ambulances will be assigned. There will be a maximum of 4 players per board. Once at their boards, the game begins, with each team acting independently to rescue 7 victims and "win" their board. If this is accomplished, the firefighters can be reassigned to buildings still on fire.

Fire engines can move from board to board at a cost of action points, but must be driven by a firefighter (player) who will now join the fight at the new location. Ambulances can be moved from board to board, too, at a cost, but don't need to be driven by a firefighter. Also available for use is an Air Ambulance, a brand new game mechanic cooked up by local gamer, Bryce Robinson.

The collective goal is to "win" as many boards as a possible. Each team will need to coordinate their efforts on their own board, but the wider group will have to coordinate as well when fire engines and ambulances are needed.

"Small Town, Big Fire" was cooked up by ComicReaders' Chad Boudreau with generous assistance from Bryce Robinson and Chad's two sons.

THE TIME
12pm
Estimated duration of 120 minutes
