Forget the eco-disasters and corporate-state coups, it’s Draft Night for the world’s most popular (and profitable) sport!
Description:
In the year 3078, the League holds nearly unparalleled cultural influence. But all is not well, many franchises are one bad season from bankruptcy, broader cultural debates are eroding the prestige of the pastime, and the rising popularity of Space Cricket threatens to dethrone the League’s spot as the world’s most popular sport. In this digital megagame, 64 players (teams of 2-4) will run League franchises as Owners, General Managers (‘GMs’), Sabers (analysts), and Vice Presidents.They must balance their budget, draft the best athletes, and push the franchise Owners to collectively adopt beneficial League policies. At the end of the draft, the sports season is simulated, and the next World Champions declared! Draft Night is proudly presented by the Megagame Coalition.

Description:
Megagames are an exciting and relatively under-explored genre of gaming which has enjoyed quite the renaissance in recent years. And although covid prevents the massive in-person megagames, the megagme scene is still adapting, evolving, and preparing for future megagame events! If you've ever been curious about megagames or are interested in designing one yourself, this will go over how to find games, some design basics, discuss megagames which have adapted to online settings, and highlight some upcoming megagame events for the future! The event will be hosted and moderated by the Megagame Coalition. The Megagame Coalition is a volunteer-run organization of megagame groups and individuals who make up the designers, organizers, moderators, and enthusiastic players of megagames.
