I am posting this a bit late, kept forgetting to post, anyway, as I did last year I will be bringing games with me to play in the Del Mar. I use to try to establish a game night, but with all the stuff going on throughout TAM it is just hard to get a good group together for an official games night. The Del Mar has plenty of room for us to play and they did not seem to mind us playing there last year. I will have my bag-o-games with me whenever I am in the Del Mar and will be happy to share the games with whomever wishes to play and will be playing games myself.

If you want to bring games, please do, the more the merrier. I can't bring all my games and I am happy to play other people's favorites.

I will be bringing with me Zombie Dice, Zombie Fluxx, Martian Fluxx, Run for your Life Candyman and probably a few others, I need to take a look through my games and see what else I can pack and carry easily.
 
I have one called Life's a Pitch that might be suitable for skeptics. This one. It uses what we see from woo believers all the time.
 
I never seemed to be in the bar last year when games were going on, but, if the drugs work and I am awake, this year I'll be happy to join in even if I've never heard of any of them. :)
 
I could bring Playing Gods, if anyone's interested. I've never played it, but I'd be awesome to have it played the first time by a bunch of heathens at TAM.

Awesome! This will be a great venue to break in my deck of Munchkin Cthulhu.

You know, I suspect Munchkin Cthulhu might be my least liked variety, for some reason.

Munchkin Zombies, though, has become a recent one I liked. I don't have my own copy of that one, yet, though. (And, I am usually not even a fan of zombie-themed games.)

I have original Munchkin, Star Munchkin, and a whole bunch of expansion packs for both, including (but not limited to) the new Munchkinomicron pack (which adds a new Spell card type, and is somewhat Lovecraftian in theme).
 
For those who don't mind a little adult oriented silliness, I could build a few decks from my XXXenophile CCG. Its from the wonderfully demented mind of Phil Foglio and has many cards based on the comic book of the same name. There are even some truly atrocious puns such as 'Unnatural Axe' and 'Julie Anne Frye'

I've never played or heard of any of these either. Are they relatively easy to pick up, so that we could just drop by and start playing?
 
First time TAM attendee here. How about Magic the Gathering? It's been a couple of years since I've played, but I'd love to play again.

Bring your ccgs if you want. I don't play MTG but I have played many and still do play several, mostly Legend of the Five Rings. If you have decks to share and want to teach me I am always up for learning a new one. I will be doing that at GenCon in a month, but learning a new ccg is always fun for me.

The whole point of games in the Del Mar is to have fun with the stuff you like to play.
 
Cool. I'll try to bring a couple of decks, then. And, yes, there have been quite a few changes since 1995, some of which even I don't know about!

I wish I could steal back our thirty year old version of Steve Jackson's Illuminati card game from my college age son. He and his friends actually have fun playing it!

I've got that somewhere; I borrowed it from a college friend about 30 years ago, and have never played it. It's small enough to bring, if I can find it.

That would be awesome. I have fond memories of that. A college friend of mine even went so far as to print up membership cards for one of the organizations* and passed them around.

I also enjoyed the sequel CCG, Illuminati: New World Order, from the 90's. It was a bit prophetic, too.

ETA: Sweet FSM, searching for that image, led me to this site (belongs in the CT forum, of course):


* I will leave it as a game for this thread to guess which organization, with only this hint. The organization changed names in a later printing and my friend used the name from the later printings.

I've got Legend of the Five Rings (and two decks for it), but I've no idea whether they play well against each other.

Oooh, that reminds me. I may very well have some decks for the sequel game Legend of the Burning Sands. all are pretty basic and great for teaching the game. Was not very popular and died an untimely death, but I was a fan.
