RinCon 2019

You choose, I teach! This event is NOT focused on one specific game. Rather, I will have a selection of several games available, and YOU get to decide what to play! The game choices will be focused on lighter games which are easy to learn and play in about 30-60 minutes. New to the hobby and not sure what to play? I can absolutely help recommend something. See something in my pile you’ve been itching to try? Let’s set it up and I’ll get you going!

Note that the scheduled time slot is my total time for this event and is intended to include several different games. You do NOT need to stay and play multiple games for the full time slot - feel free to just stop by and play one or two games as desired.

Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.

Come play in a small Go tournament aimed at beginner Go players. We'll be playing on 9x9 boards, and will most likely play in a round robin format where each player will play every other player. As a prize, the winner will receive a complete Go set.

If you have never played Go before, there will be a learn to play Go session prior to the tournament.

In Chicken Caesar, players represent aristocratic ancient Roman chicken families trying to create a legacy for their family name. Each family has several eligible roosters eager to jump into the world of politics, getting rich and creating a legacy by any means necessary.

James Ernest is best known for light, quick games. This year he's working on something new, a hefty political control game called After the Fog. Players take charge of city governors who are reclaiming an ancient valley that was once choked with fog. Develop your holdings, improve your airships, and fight for control of the valley in this 90-minute strategy game that's still in the early stages of playtesting!

Designed for the second book in the Seer series by Sonia Lyris, Rochi is a new gambling game by James Ernest. Come play it with the creator and learn more about the game, its role in the book, and the upcoming Kickstarter campaign!

James Ernest is always designing something new and different, and we honestly have no idea what it will be. Come test a game in progress, and help make it better! New players and spectators welcome!
