DEMO: NINJA ALL STARS
Sunday, Oct. 16 Noon
Ninja All Stars allows for 2 to 4 players to take control of a team of ninja and battle over objectives. Each Ninja Clan is drawn from a different element (6 in total), with each element providing different bonuses in-game. As well, the game’s dice mechanic is based on the element system, using a rock-paper-scissors type of dice elimination to determine the outcome of various aspects such as combat, searching, and special abilities. It is important to note that combat is not a simple “I rolled more swords than your shields”; the elimination of dice will give the winner a choice of different combat results based on the remaining dice. The interesting point here is, ninja don’t die in this game-rather,they are knocked out and placed in their team’s dojo, where they rest and recover and may eventually be brought back onto the board. The rules allow for one-off scenario games as well as league play with guidelines on ninja advancement, meaning that players can develop their ninja over many games.

HEATHER DALE BAND
Friday, Oct. 14 7 pm $15
Canadian recording artist & touring musician Heather Dale writes songs for imaginative people of all ages who aren’t afraid to be different. Known for her interpretations of ancient legends, she cheerfully disregards the limits for both folk singer-songwriters and Celtic balladeers, and fuses the folk tradition with blues and jazz influences. Her original music “is powerful stuff… with a depth and resonance rooted in its mythic sources” (Vancouver Sun), and is reminiscent of Loreena McKennitt and Sarah McLachlan.
As a modern woman with Celtic roots, Heather is perhaps best known for her Youtube hit “Mordred’s Lullaby” (12.7 million views as of 2016) and has released 17 recordings. The Heather Dale Band has been touring extensively around North America and Europe since 2004, with 100+ shows per year from 2004 to 2014. Born and raised in Toronto, Heather worked as an environmental educator before turning her steps toward a career in music. Choosing to retain control over her career, she founded her independent record label Amphis Music in 1998 and continues to manage it full-time with her business partner Ben Deschamps.
In 2016, Heather released her first original musical theatre production (Queens of Avalon), which was the result of a highly successful crowdfunding campaign. Visit QueensOfAvalon.com for details.

DEMO: EXPOSED
Saturday, Oct. 8 Noon – 5pm
Exposed is a quick 2-6 player game in which you’re a thief who has snuck into a boat party with the aim of stealing as many wallets as you can without anyone exposing who you are. If you steal enough wallets or you’re the last player left unexposed, you win!
The playing space is a grid of tiles depicting the guests at the party, such as a fireman, physicist, or accountant. You’re one of these guests, but no one knows which one is you. Each guest has a wallet, which you can steal from them if you are adjacent. Each move you make gives away information about who you are, so you have to decide how aggressive or sneaky you want to be so that your identity can remain hidden while getting as many wallets as you can.

DEMO: GRIFTERS
SATURDAY, Sep. 24 Noon – 5 PM
Grifters is a hand-building game that has all the fun of deck-building games, without the deck. Set in the Dystopian Universe, players take on the role of powerful crime bosses, building their criminal organizations by carefully recruiting new operatives and stealing as much money as you can from the corrupt government, malicious corporations, and your rival players. Each player starts the game with a hand of six Specialist cards, each with unique abilities. Your objective is to use this team of six Specialists to recruit more criminals, complete jobs, steal from the government coffers and swindle your opponents.
Grifters uses a unique card “cooldown” system to control the use of your cards, cycling operatives from hand to tabletop and back. End game bonuses are calculated for completing multiple jobs against the same target. The player with the most money WINS!
