You'd Better Watch Out at our Christmas-themed Megagame Playtest
Sunday 23rd of June
1-4pm
Max capacity: 30
The North Pole, Boxing Day 20xx. You've all woken up after a well-deserved party to discover the North Pole is in shambles...and Santa is missing, along with centuries of accumulated joy - the magic that keeps the Pole running. What happened to Santa? Can you make sure Christmas has a future? And - asking for a friend - who's in charge now?
You'd Better Watch Out is a megagame - a large-scale, semi-cooperative blend between board game and RPG. Worker placement and resource management will make up most of the mechanics, but success will be impossible without communication and negotiation as well.
What is a megagame?
A megagame is a type of large-scale simulation that can contain elements of role-playing games, tabletop games, LARPs, and wargames. They're typically played by 10-30 or even up to 100 players. Players are often arranged into hierarchies of teams cooperating or competing towards various objectives.
What do I need to know or bring?
Just yourself! On the day the game master will run you through the event and direct the play.
