Some of us old-timers remember a time when these games dominated convention schedules.  Council has a nice offering for you too.  Some of these games might be the newer reprints, but we’ll always remember them as Avalon Hill classics.

Kingmaker
A-Board-3 * $ 2
Game Master: Michael Rogozinski * 6 Players * Teen14

Relive England's 1st Civil War, The War of the Roses. In Kingmaker you head a noble faction building it into a power base that supports an heir as it seeks to eliminate all rivals. Winning at Kingmaker depends both on skill and on seizing opportunity! Fast moving play comes from sudden turns of fortune as a random event is determined at the start of each player 's turn. With a bit of diplomacy and quick shifting strategy can you turn the event into a new opportunity that favors your cause? Only one Lancastrian or Yorkist will rule, will it be you?
If you have a copy of this game, please feel free to bring it along. That way, we can accommodate extra players. Beginners encouraged.

Friday Night  7:00-11:00+ PM  (Slot B)

Titan
B-Board-7 * $ 2
Game Master: Greg Croff * 6 Players * Teen14

This classic game of the Fantasy Monster Slugathon is a standby from the Avalon Hill of yore. The game is divided into two realms, the masterboard and the battleboards. On the masterboard, legions of mythical creatures roam about trying to recruit bigger and badder monsters and kill opposing legions in the process. When a combat occurs, the space is "blown-up"  by moving the action to the corresponding battleboard type. After lots of dice are tossed, the victor is returned to the masterboard with the spoils of war: points. The Titan is the player 's alter-ego, and the Titan 's fate and the player 's fate are one and the same. Veterans and new players welcome. Feel free to bring your favorite collection of 6 sided dice if you want, but not necessary. Beginners encouraged.

Through a thousand years of history, can your colour dominate the British landscape? Your peoples land from the sea and seize territories on the Dark Island, but can they hold against new invaders? Will your leaders, from Boudicca to William the Conqueror, spur your armies to victory? Play BRITANNIA and find out. Some knowledge of this rules system preferred.

Titan
F-Board-8 * $ 2
Game Master: Nick Klercker * 12 Players * E10

Fantasy Monster Slugathon. Custom built game. All monsters and legion markers are on poker chips and the game played on custom enlarged boards. Game has two levels of play. Players move legions on one large map recruiting minions to fight with. When two opposing legions meet on this board the battle is fought out on a different board representing the type of terrain the legions were in on the main board. Each player is represented by a special character (a Titan). When that character is killed the player is eliminated. Play continues until only one or zero players are left. If we run out of time, points will be counted (including mustered legions) and a winner declared. Beginners are encouraged, but I suggest reading the rules prior to the game.
