B331: The 2007 U.S. National B-Movie Championship - Part One: Grave Robbers From Outer Space. This special Championship will incorporate five B-Movie decks from Z-Man Games, one per preliminary round. Players may play in any or all of the five preliminary rounds. The five winners of each of the preliminary rounds will face off in the final round with the sixth deck: "Berserker Halflings from the Dungeon of Dragons" for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages. See Also: B403, B519, B645, B752. Next Session: B828.

B332: The 2007 U.S. National Bootleggers Championship. It's January, 1921. Prohibition has been in effect for a year, and it looks like the 18th Amendment is here to stay. In Bootleggers, players take on the role of enterprising bosses seeking to make a name for themselves in the illegal alcohol trade at the height of the 1920's prohibition era. Deceit, lies, and alliances of convenience are the norm as players attempt to control distribution through money and corruption by muscling in on the competition, paying off the local law authorities, building underground speakeasies, and shipping trucks of "hooch"! Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once. The winner at each table will advance to the final round to play for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 2:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B572, B646. Next Session: B695.

B333: The 2007 U.S. National Palabra Championship. Palabra is a combination of words, poker and rummy - guaranteed to "release your mental endorphins." Score by forming a word, a straight (an alphabetical sequence of 3 cards), a flush (5 cards in one color/suit), building on a prior word or straight, or present 6 or 7 vowels. Because of many double and triple multiplier cards, which multiply upon each other, and "color-locking" (which also doubles the score), a small word or straight can be multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, etc., and be worth 200 points or more! Stuck with a "Q," an "X," or a "Z?" Don't make a word. Put them in a straight or a flush. Did your opponent just make a 400 point combination? Don't fret. Cancel it with the "joker." Or steal any part of it for yourself. Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once. The winner at each table will advance to the final round to play for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Serious, All Ages. See Also: B453, B610. Next Session: B649.

B336: Circus Maximus. Violent and bloody, Circus Maximus details the chariot races that occurred in ancient Rome. Eight teams race around the track three times to determine victory. Players prepare for the race by selecting the composition of their team of horses, their rider's skills, and the type of chariot that will be driven. Once the race begins the players are free to do as they wish to hamper the other racers including whipping the rider, ramming chariots with scythed wheels, smashing into horses, and running over crashed opponents. Wednesday, 10:00PM - 2:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Serious, 18 & Over ONLY.

B338: Hey! That's My Fish!. In this Mayfair game, players control a number of penguins. The penguins move over hex-shaped ice tiles with 1, 2 or 3 fish on them. The player takes the hex from where the penguin started his movement from the table, thereby creating a gap which other players can't cross. If a penguin can't move, he's taken from play. The player with the most fish in the end wins. Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B795.

B339: Medici. Another Reiner Knizia standby, this game plays very well with varying numbers of people. The object is to accrue the most points during three rounds, which you do by spending your points to bid on sets of cards. Each turn the current player turns up one to three cards for all the players to bid on, with the highest bid taking all cards. The cards denote a commodity type and quantity/value. The round ends when each player's ships are full, or the commodity card deck is exhausted. After each round, points are awarded to each player having the most of a given commodity, and to the one with the most valuable total "cargo load". Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B340: Munchkin. Steve Jackson Games' hilarious card game in which you try to beat your opponents by being the best, er, role player you can (cough)...roughly translated into getting the most stuff, finding the most loopholes and killing the most monsters. Yeah, role playing. Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages. See Also: B429.

B350: Concentration. One of the simplest games at the convention, the game of Concentration puts 25 cards on the table face down - 12 sets of 2 same-value cards and 1 joker.

B353: The 2007 U.S. National Gloom Championship. The world of Gloom is a sad and benighted place. The sky is gray, the tea is cold, and a new tragedy lies around every corner. In this new card game from Atlas Games, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. You want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. You'll play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to cheer your opponents' characters with marriages and other happy occasions that pile on positive points. The player with the lowest total Family Value wins. Note that this Championship will be played with both expansion sets (6-player games).

The other half their paths are chosen randomly by opponents. Additionally, the board elements constantly change as the game progresses. This Championship will use the expansion set. Players may play in either or both of the two preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once.

In the middle ages, the best living was to be found behind the protection of nice thick castle walls and towers. But once they're standing, you can take your time building houses and palaces behind them. And if that goes especially well, the castles grow and merge with each other. To accomplish that, you only need some tactical skill and the right cards. But watch out: You need to sense when the best time to play your cards is in order to score the most points.

Around the building side, a city is slowly rising up. The players embody master builders.

Of course, none of this building can be done without money, so sometimes a player must take time out to earn some money so he can afford to continue his building projects. Thursday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B378: Pit. Parker Brothers' hilarious card game of tradable stocks. Players try to collect a complete run of a given commodity while trading with each other in REAL TIME.

B388: Prolix. Prolix is a unique word game that is being considered for publication. In the game, players score points by coming up with words whose letters match those of the Letter Chips on the board. Unlike other word games, you don't need all the letters of the word to be on the board to use that word. This means that you are free to use all those words you always wanted to use in other word games, but were always one tile or card short! Of course, the letters in your word won't score if they aren't on the board, so even huge words can be stinkers if you don't use them at the right time.

B637: Werewolf. Werewolf is a game that takes place in a small village which is haunted by werewolves. Each player is secretly assigned a role - Werewolf, Villager, or Seer (a special Villager). There is also a Moderator player who controls the flow of the game. The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the Werewolves secretly choose a Villager to kill. Also, the Seer (if still alive) asks whether another player is a Werewolf or not. During the day, the Villager who was killed is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining Villagers then vote on the player they suspect is a Werewolf. That player reveals his/her role and is out of the game. Werewolves win when there are an equal number of Villagers and Werewolves. Villagers win when they have killed all Werewolves. Friday, 12:00AM - 2:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided.
